And Behold, There Came a Voice From On High, and if the Words Were Heeded Which Were Commanded, Weight Gain Was Exceedingly Abundant and Muscle Grew Upon Muscle, and Man Rejoiced Triumphantly

Behold, the 10 Commandments of Weight Gain and Muscle Mass

1. Thou shalt eat 1 gram of protein for every pound of your ideal body weight, per day.

2. Thou shalt eat a minimum of 4-5 times a day.

3. Thou shalt not complain that you are not gaining weight saying “I eat all the time and can’t gain weight”. You must learn what you are not doing right, and eating junk food does not gain an ounce of muscle.

4. Thou shalt work out in an intelligent manner according to a plan that has been proven successful for people with your same body type. Thou shalt pick a muscle training program and stick with it.

5. Thou shalt work out intensely, consistently, but not work out more than 4 days a week, for the body needs time to repair all the shredded muscle.

6. Thou shalt get at least 7 hours of sleep a night.

7. Thou shalt eliminate or greatly reduce bad habits preventing you from gaining weight, muscle, and testosterone.

8. Thou shalt not give up.

9. Thou shalt be patient and grateful for every ounce and every new pound of muscular weight you gain. When you begin to succeed, thou shalt not let your success go to your head, and thou shalt not become obsessed with gaining weight, muscle, or pounds on your bench press. Thou shalt not live in the gym. Thou shalt be a normal human being that enjoys life.

10. Thou shalt eat more raw fruits and fresh vegetables.
