Are you tired of being skinny?  Would like to add loads of muscle to your frame?  Wouldn’t it be great if you could finally get a body that everyone would stare at in envy?  If you answered yes to any of these questions you’ve come to the right place.  While most of the population is trying to lose weight you’re trying to learn how to bulk up.  Most people don’t realize just how difficult it can be for someone to gain weight and add muscle size.  Today I’d like to share with you 3 valuable tips on how to bulk up and look great.

The first thing you’ll want to do is make sure you’re doing the right exercises and the right amount of sets and reps.  To build the most muscle mass you need to be doing compound exercises.  These are exercise that work large muscle groups such as your upper back, chest, and thighs.  These exercises include the squat, bench press, deadlift, military press, and pull-up.  These are important exercises because they not only build muscle on the targeted muscle group, they also build muscle in the areas that are assisting the main muscles to lift the weight.

How to Bulk Up Doing the Proper Reps

The amount of reps varies depending on what you want to do.  Since you want to gain mass and bulk up, it’s more important that you focus on bodybuilding reps rather getting stronger by focusing on powerlifter reps.  This means that you should focus on a rep range between 8-12 reps.  You need to do 2-3 exercises per body part and 2-4 sets for each exercise.  Of course it all depends on your work capacity on how much volume you should actually be doing but this is a great starting point for most people.

How to Bulk Up by Eating the Right Amount of Food

The next thing you need to focus on is eating the right amount of food.  Most people feel like they’re eating a lot of food and still remain skinny.  However, when you show them how much food they need to be eating it becomes quite shocking to them.  A simple formula is to multiply your current weight by 20 and you’ll get the amount of calories you need to eat each day.  You can then divide that amount by 6 so you find out how many calories you need to eat in each of your 6 meals.  So if you weigh 100 pounds, you need to eat 2,000 calories to bulk up.  You then divide that by 6 and you will need to eat 333 calories per meal.

How to Bulk Up By Eating the Right Foods

The last tip is to focus on the quality of food.  Most people think that just because they’re in the bulking phase they can throw in a bunch of empty calories of junk food to make it look like they’re eating enough.  In reality, this is the time you should be eating healthier than ever.  Try and get protein with each meal you eat.  Great sources are poultry, fish, cottage cheese, nuts, and eggs whites.  There are plenty of simple meals you can find on the internet that will help you in your journey.

Also, before I end, I also want you to understand that you need to lay off the cardio when you’re trying to add bulk.  Cardio is what people trying to lose weight do, so it’s counter productive if you try and do it while bulking up.  I hope these simple tips have given you a general idea on how to bulk up.  Before you know it, with a little hard work and discipline, you’ll soon have the body you always wanted.
