How do I gain weight? How do I build muscle? How do I stop people from picking on me? How are his arms bigger than my head?

If you’re a skinny guy who is hung up on the word “ectomorph” then you probably ask yourself those questions on a daily basis.

The answer is simple:

You stop eating like a 3^rd grade school girl.

There are 2 simple steps to gaining muscle mass and tapping into your inner Hulk.

How to Bulk Up:

1.)  Punish your muscles on a daily basis

2.)  Eat like a big boy

You can find more info on the first step on any bodybuilding website; I’m here to offer you a meal plan that will put you in the race with the big boys. You will no longer snack on carrots and broccoli while watching reruns of Will and Grace. It’s time to pack on the pounds and increase your strength.

The Meal Plan

It’s a fairly simple plan to follow that focuses on high calorie, and high protein intake while limiting carbs and fats to turn you into the lumberjack you were always meant to be while keeping you as lean as a 10,000 B.C hunter and gatherer.

Anyone who is looking to gain weight and muscle mass will benefit from this plan.

Quick Breakdown:

–         3 Big meals per day

–         2 Protein shakes per day

–         7 Days per week!

Warning: If you aren’t following a serious weight lifting routine to build muscle then this meal plan is not for you. You might get fat!

DO NOT follow this plan for more than 6 months at a time. Give your body a break from the high calorie intake.

What to do:

You don’t have to do anything different than you’re used to. This plan is a basic, breakfast, lunch and dinner routine.

As long as you keep your workouts consistent and your intensity in the gym high, there is NO REASON why you will not gain weight using this plan.

As you can see this protein shake is no joke, it is a protein-heavy shake designed to increase muscle growth and speed up recovery. If you are a hard gainer and having trouble putting on muscle and eating tons of food, drink one of these a day and not only will you have the energy to workout more intensely but you will, in turn, grow a bigger appetite.

Directions

Step 1: Blend the milk, oatmeal, and peanut butter together first for about 30 seconds (I use my blender on the highest setting)

Step 2: Add in the 2 scoops of protein through the top of your blender as its mixing

Step 3: Blend all of it for another 30 seconds

Step 4: Pour in a cup and enjoy, or if you are in beast mode just chug it straight out of the blender!

Optional: Put some honey in it, for some natural sugars.

That’s about it, this shake will add an extra 1200 calories to your bulking diet and will help you gain weight really quickly.
