QUICKEST WAY TO GAIN MASS?

You need to start increasing calories. Start with more calorie dense foods like peanut butter, bananas and whole milk. Use lots of oats and rice as well.

Caloric Surplus,

you will need to eat more food.

also the quickest way is not always the best due to it causing unwanted fat gain.
 
Do less at the gym. Just stimulate growth and get out. No volume training, no cardio. Try to reserve calories and activities that will burn calories and raise your metabolism outside the gym. Eat before bed, eat in the middle of the night. Eat all day and eat lots. Drink a ton of water.
 
1) Find your maintenance calories (eat the same thing for 1-2 weeks)
2) Eat more than your maintenance calories.
 
The fastest way to gain weight is to eat more food. Simple. You can also think about adding in a Mass Gainer like Mass Gainz by Iforce Nutrition for extra calories. Although, whole foods will still be your best option.

Also go on a creatine monohydrate loading phase. Like the other dudessaid tho eat and I am also currently taking OL Orig1n helps me to eat past the point of being full. Which helps get those Cals also use MyFitnessPal to help track your macros. I am currently stuck at 180lbs boys on the forum are telling me to eat more which is true. Ask Tylerclee and xtyler

Liked this by mistake.

None of what you suggested is negative. You should be increasing volume/ inensity to progress.

You will not burn a significant amount of calories in the gym.

Everything you suggested can be overcome by simply eating more.

OP doesn't eat enough

Telling someone to decrease activity in todays day and age is stupid. That's a big enough problem as is
 
I believe it was muscleupcrohn (maybe??) who responded to one of these threads with the best answer; If you're in America, walk outside, close your eyes and point your finger out. Now spin around, open your eyes and ask the person you're pointing at how they got so fat. Priceless

Haha, I don't think that was me, but it's pretty damn accurate. Perhaps it was bigt or the_old_guy (please excuse the misspelled usernames)?
 
Quickest way to gain mass is simple. Consume more calories. Whether that is by liquid or food. And don't take what I just said the wrong way. I am in no way saying to get on a liquid diet... I'm saying adding a few cups of whole milk to every meal is a very easy way to add calories and protein. One gallon of whole milk has over 2,000 calories. So drinking even 1/4 of a gallon a day gets you over 500 calories extra.

Sometimes I see mass gains best when I only workout 3x a week. Other times when I train my major muscle groups twice a week I get better results. Don't be afraid to mix it up. At the same time, find a routine and give it time to show results. Stick to it for a while.

I would like to see your current diet and training so we all can critique it and get you going on the right track. I wouldn't jump to supplements just yet (besides the staples) because you want to use them to your advantage. Taking a natural anabolic while having a poor diet and training routine is like taking a drag racing car to the strip on street tires. You won't go anywhere and you are wasting your time.

That being said, what is your experience with supplements? Do you need some suggestions on what staple products you should be using?
 
Whatever you're eating now, add another serving.

I'm not going to reiterate what other posters have said ITT regarding food.

Maintenance +500-700 additional calories. Watch the scale, if you don't gain weight add an additional 200kcal.

Find a strength training program and undulate load/volume.

Best of luck
 
Search online for tdee and macro calculators that will help you find out what your total calories and macronutrients need to be each day and that will give you a good estimate. Then you'll have to adjust on your own based on the results you're getting.

Like everyone said, calculate your TDEE and consume more calories than that. If you want to be aggressive, 500-700 more per day would work, but if you wanted to be more conservative, around 200-300 above that would also work.

I would also advise buying a food scale and weigh out foods for a while. Initially, I think most people think they can eyeball what a serving is, however, people are usually always off. This is especially true with proteins and fats. Take peanut butter for example, you would be shocked at how small a serving is. Once you weigh out foods for a while, you can get a sense of estimation.

One last thing I would suggest is if you cannot eat a lot of calories, either due to work, lack of appetite, or whatever the issue may be,look into making your own mass gainer or some other type of shake. You could add protein powder, healthy fats, carb sources, etc. It would be a good way to get those macros and calories in and it is a nice way to get extra calories if you do not like eating or cannot eat large amounts.
 
Going to the buffet right now. I can't wait for the tuna/salmon rolls. I only eat the tuna and salmon and discard the white rice. They probably hate me there lol

I agree, if something, actually walking instead of taking the bus/car, taking the stairs instead of the elevator etc, is just good for everyone. Nothing you should try to avoid if you can.

Lol, thanks for the laugh.
 
When I was 18 I weighed 180 (@6'1") and wanted to bulk. So during my 6 week winter break in college I ate semi-normal during the day. But after dinner I ate 2 hours later a dozen blueberry muffins and 2 glasses of milk. 2 hours later mac n cheese with 2 glasses of milk. Then right before bed (2am lol) a 1,000 calorie weight gainer shake. I gained 10 pounds in 6 weeks.

Eat more, son!
 
Knowing your TDEE.

Calculate the required amount of carbohydrates, proteins, fats.

Increase of 5% or 10 calories than your TDEE. (Increase each month, with the right assessments)

Eliminate refined foods, foods containing hydrogenated fats, foods and beverages containing simple sugars unnecessary.

Eliminate or reduce alcohol. Better to eliminate them completely.

Increase the water.

Insert good fats (nuts, avocados, almonds, egg yolk ...) without eliminating saturated fats.

Eat lots of vegetables, and some portion (no exaggeration) of fruit.

Intense training, both anaerobic lattacidi, anaerobic alattacidi.
There is the perfect workout, there vary with proper progressions every workout.

Supplements useful for you, creatine, B vitamins, zinc, omega-3.
 
Stealing from Bodybuildingnerds Radio - there's always the "Plus Lasagne" diet. Figure out all your numbers using all these wiz-bang calculators and come up with a meal plan. Then, when you have your first meal, eat it - plus a big square of Lasagne. Next meal? Plus a big square of Lasange - you get the picture :D

Add 1 gallon of (preferably 100% grass fed) whole milk/day to your diet, eat a sufficient diet otherwise, and do a training program that focuses on progressively increasing weights on compound free weight movements (squats, deadlifts, bench)

I love drinking milk on a bulk. I've never done a full gallon but I do about 1/4-1/2 gallon and it's such an easy way to get in calories.
