Introduction

Fallenalien2313, a Reddit user, shared his journey of weight gain from 120lbs to 180lbs with a community of fitness enthusiasts. Despite being skinny and having bad genetics, he gained 60lbs in three years through a simple formula that includes lifting heavy weights and eating more calories than burning.

The Simple Formula

To gain muscle and weight, one needs to eat more calories than they burn and lift relatively heavy weights. According to fallenalien2313, the Harris Benedict Equation helps figure out how many calories to maintain weight, creating a meal plan with healthy carbs, fats, vitamins, and proteins, and eating a 400-500 calorie surplus. To maximize muscle weight gains over fat weight gains, he advises counting calories to know how much you are eating and lift 5-12 reps using free weights and big movements like squats or deadlifts.

The Importance of Form

Fallenalien2313 emphasizes on form and improving the amount of reps, sets, and weight lifted gradually. He also recommends avoiding swinging your back and using machines excessively while working on stabilizer muscles. Once you become more experienced, research specific elements of bodybuilding that help maximize gains and progress.

How Bad Do You Want It?

Transforming your weight and physique require dedication and sacrifices. According to fallenalien2313, it all boils down to how bad you want it. Are you willing to eat that last meal when you are tired or work out when you do not feel like it? By prioritizing and being willing to take on the challenge, one can gain muscle weight and become an inspiration to others.

Conclusion

Fallenalien2313's weight gain journey showcases that it is possible to achieve your desired physique by following a simple formula of eating more calories than you burn and lifting relatively heavy weights. The key is to be committed and determined to stick to the routine until desired results are reached. Try incorporating his formula into your weight journey today and see the transformation happen.
