| Want to gain weight and increase strength |
but don't know where to start? |
| Gaining weight and increasing strength is quite simple really! At PureTrain we have tried to make the following information as straightforward as possible... all you have to do is follow three easy steps! |
| If your goal is to gain weight and increase strength, you need to eat the right foods at the right time. At PureTrain we recommend that you eat 5-6 meals throughout the day. Since your body can only handle a certain amount of nutrients in any one meal, you'll gain fat rather than muscle if you try to cram all your food into two or three meals. It is important to follow the nutritional information in our Healthy Eating Plan, but basically...EAT! To maximise your weight gain and increase in strength, the combination of a healthy diet, dietary supplementation and |
| an effective exercise regime is vital. This will give you faster and more sustainable results than diet or exercise alone. We have therefore created an easy to follow PureTrain Healthy Eating Plan that tells you what to eat and the optimum times at which to eat throughout the day. Simple Tips: When trying to gain weight and increase strength aim to consume protein every few hours (ie most meats, skimmed milk etc). It is also important to drink sufficient water regularly throughout the day to maximise your fitness regimes results. |
| Using dietary supplementation as part of a daily fitness regime can help increase performance by aiding in areas such as muscle development, increasing endurance and reducing recovery times. There are many products available, so at PureTrain we have made it easy by identifying the five key dietary supplements that have been proven to enhance personal fitness and performance. By referring to the PureTrain Healthy Eating Plan you can visually see exactly which PureTrain dietary supplements to use and at what time of the day to use them in order to maximise your training results. |
| It's as simple as remembering 123... For further information about any of the recommended supplements please go to "Why Use Dietary Supplements" You will find helpful advice on what these supplements are and how they can help when used properly during training. For example: It has been shown that people using a supplement such as PureTrain Creatine + Glutamine in combination with a weight training programme, gain muscle and strength quicker than non-users. |
| It is important that regular exercise becomes an integral part of your day to day life if you want to achieve your health and physical fitness goals in the short term and be able to sustain them throughout a lifetime of fitness. At PureTrain we have worked closely with Dominic Marsh, a professional Personal Trainer to develop the highly successful PureTrain Training Programme to help you gain weight and increase strength. For many people gaining weight can seem almost impossible. The best way to build muscle and therefore gain body mass is to train in the gym with weights following a routine based on a 2 week cycle of 3x60 minute training sessions a week, alternating between |
| heavy and light weeks. By rotating in this way you work on different muscle groups in each session depending on where you are in the training cycle, maximising muscle growth and therefore your overall fitness gains. If you find it hard to gain weight, don't perform a lot of calorie sapping aerobics on your days off. Note: It may be tempting to try to lift heavy every time you train but it is impossible to push every muscle group to its maximum in every session. It is also important to leave at least a day between each training session as the body builds new muscle tissue when you rest, not when you are in the gym! |
