The Simple Guide to Getting into Shape: How to Gain Weight and Put on Muscle Mass

January 25, 2010

NOTE: Make sure to checkout the forum discussion for this article.
How to put on weight and gain muscle mass is currently the #1 question that I get asked by young guys who can’t seem to break out of being “too skinny”.
Here’s the answer that I always give:
Eat more than you’re eating now, and eat plenty of protein.
That’s it.
The response I get to this is also always the same. “I can’t gain weight because my metabolism is off the charts. No matter how much I eat I can’t gain weight.”
Then I ask them what they eat, and it almost always turns out that either 1) They’re not eating as much as they think they’re eating or 2) They have no idea how much big guys eat.
So if you’re looking to gain weight, it’s time to start eating, and it’s time to start eating a lot. If you add 500 more […]

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
