If you are a teenager seeking to gain weigh then you need to maintain discipline in all areas such as dieting, weight training, aerobics, rest and supplementations. As a teenager you could experience great difficulty trying to increase your body weight, especially if you have the genes of a hard gainer.
Teenagers usually have a faster metabolism than older people and this is why it becomes hard to gain weight. Some actually end up using steroids so that they can increase there weight. The use of steroids is not recommended since they can lead to the following side effects; shrinking of the testicles, low sperm count, decreased libido, enlargement of the clitoris, disruption of the menses, growth of breast in males, growth of facial hair in females, acne, insomnia, depression, increased rage, kidney problems, liver problems, and heart conditions. You should only use natural means to gain weight.
If you are seeking to gain weight you should concentrate on increasing your muscles and not your body fat. Weight gain arising from an increase in muscles will make you develop a good body physique.
If you want to gain muscles you need to ensure that you start weight training. You should not focus much on prolonging your weight training session. You should instead focus on power lifting because this is the only way through which muscle hypertrophy takes place. When you prolong the workout sessions, you will end up losing the muscles you had already acquired because of catabolism.
When you train for long there will be an accumulation of lactic acid in your body and this has the effect of making the muscles to grow slowly. Your muscle growth occurs during the phosphate phase which is the first phase of the lift. If you are not able to cause muscle hypertrophy during this periods then you are not going to succeed in stimulating your muscles to grow.
You need to perform aerobic exercises as well but this will only help improve your body endurance and the health of your heart. It will not make you gain weight.
You need to increase the amount of calories you take in your diet. Your diet should therefore comprise mostly of proteins, carbs, and healthy fat. Proteins are the building blocks of muscles. Proteins are also rich in calories which are needed to undertake intense training. Carbohydrates are also very rich in calories which fuel the body to undertake intense weight training. You should choose the slow energy releasing carbs which are simple carbs because they will not be easily converted into body fat.
Simple carbohydrates will also help your body to be able to withstand prolonged weight training session. You need to take bodybuilding supplements as well such as Creatine supplements, and whey protein supplements which will help you to build your muscles fast.
In order to gain mass, you should provide your body with adequate rest period. You need to sleep at least 8hours each night.
