Weight gain for women

So how do you put on weight as a woman?

A lot of women, seem to think, that putting on weight for a woman, is a lot different to putting on weight, for a man. While they imagine men stuffing themselves with roasted hogs, faces full of grease, drinking med out of kegs, women imagine weight gain for a woman differently. Women usually think that it's a stroll in a fairy land, where they simply eat bigger portions of food and allow themselves to snack on any junk food they want, while the magical unicorns sprinkle fairy dust which makes them gain weight.

This kind of thinking gets most women nowhere, in fact sometimes it actually makes their bodies even more unhealthy.

Ask yourself this questions. Do you want to have nice toned legs, a firm behind and a firm stomach? Or do you want the same underweight body with cellulite covering it. Do you want to reach your goals in a matter of months or do you want to spend years putting in the work and still look the same?

If you want a great body in the shortest amount of time possible I recommend you stick around. The truth is, to gain weight as a woman, is the same thing, as to gain weight as a man. If you want your legs to be thicker and more toned then you need to gain muscle in those legs, gaining fat will only add cellulite and will not shape your body. If you exercise and eat in a similar way to weightlifters, you will not only reach your goal A LOT faster, but you will also get the exact result you want, whether it be overall healthy weight gain, or more tone and thickness in your legs and butt.

Don't worry, you will not one day wake up and realize that you have bigger arms then most guys. Progress will still be slow and steady. You simply stop when you're at the desired level. Do not fool yourself by the "I don't want to get to big" mind set.

If you wanted to be a millionaire, but not a billionaire. Would you pass on a job that paid millions and take a 100k a year route instead? No! It won't automatically make you a billionaire, it will just bring you to your goal a lot faster!

Ok lets get into specifics. You still need to do a few things differently from the guys. First of all your caloric intake will be lower. All the same nutritional principles still apply. Secondly when it comes to training you will mainly concentrate on exercises like squats and deadlifts, which will exercise your legs and lower back, upper body exercises will be kept to a minimum(unless you want to have bulging arms) and those will consist of Compound(multi joint) exercises like overhead presses and pull ups/pull downs. There is no need to waste time on exercises like curls, which guys use to target extra growth and definition in specific muscles.

So a sample workout will look like this. Barbell Squats, seater overhead dumbbell press, seated pull downs.

The number of repetitions, you will generally use, will be slightly higher then for guys. So if a guy would do the squats for 6 to 8 repetitions, you will be doing them for 8 to 12 repetitions.

And that's it! Those are pretty much the only things that need to be different for a woman.

Overall all of the information on gaining muscle weight for men is applicable to women. You just need to slightly tweak it as women's goals are generally different to men's. If you are determined to transform yourself and get the kind of body that makes men turn their heads as you walk by, I suggest you check out Vince DelMonte's web site, If you scroll down a little he has a special section for women, in there.
