Over
the years I have received numerous questions about how to add mass
to one's frame. To put on mass can be a painstaking task for some.
I have found that the following things can help a great deal with
adding mass to the frame.
Eat,
eat and eat some more
To
add strength and mass, try to consume
four to six meals a day.
Choose from a variety of food groups at mealtime. Try to include
lots of potatoes, rice, pasta, fruits and vegetables
Make
sure you are eating enough. A low fat diet and avoiding
refined foods are good, but it won't help you build mass. On the
same note you don't want to eat a high fat diet all the time.
Fat provides additional calories, the fat-soluble vitamins A,
D, E and K and raw materials for important hormones that stimulate
muscle growth.
Monitor
the amount of mass you are gaining.
Measure your body parts and weigh every week to see if you are
going in the right direction.
Lastly,
continue to train hard.
And remember gaining mass won't happen overnight.
