6 Sugar Free Weight Gainers to Try

July 10, 2023August 9, 2020 by Dipanjana Mukherjee

Do you sweat it out regularly at the gym and devour just as hefty meal portions, but still don’t seem to put on the lean muscle mass you were aiming for?

Well, eating more need not necessarily equate to eating right. Dietary supplements such as weight gainers are a boon in such a scenario. The term weight gainer, also referred to as a mass gainer, is pretty self-explanatory.

However, things get complicated when you have to pick the right one based on your goals, lifestyle, and metabolism.

The market is absolutely flooded with a plethora of mass gainers promising all sorts of benefits, but do they apply the same to all, and are they equally effective on everyone trying to put on weight? Not quite. That is because what your body requires may intrinsically differ from what someone else needs.

Bony to Beastly Bulking Program Review

July 18, 2023July 22, 2020 by Rohan Arora

Being a hard-gainer for almost all of my life, I can assure you there are definitely certain perks of being one. First, you could eat everything in the world and not gain weight(jk), and second, you could make everyone around you jealous of your metabolism.

On top of this, we have a tendency to put on lean muscle rather than just fat, and if done right, clean bulking could help us eliminate the cutting phase that most people have to go through.

However, the challenges of being a hard-gainer are equally bad. The disadvantages of being underweight are comparable to being overweight. This Bony to Beastly Review has everything you need to know about the program, and make the decision of going with it or not.

To begin with, the first and foremost challenge of being underweight is the tiredness and low energy that stays forever. And then, the body may not get enough nutrients that it needs, leading to hair, skin and teeth problems in the later stages of life.

Low self-esteem and confidence, in my opinion, have an indirect relation with being underweight and not being able to look our best.

However, to your surprise, no matter how fast your metabolism is, or how long you have been a hard-gainers, there are things you can do in the very present moment to put on weight and look your best.

14 Amazing Meals to Gain Healthy Weight

July 18, 2023July 20, 2020 by Rohan Arora

Weight loss and shedding those extra kilos to look good and get fit has taken most of the limelight. However, for some people, gaining weight is as hard as it is for some people to lose weight. Being underweight can be as detrimental to one’s health as it is being obese.

It is all about metabolism and how many calories an individual consumes in a day. This article focuses on weight gain meal plans that are aimed to help underweight people gain weight quickly and in a healthy manner.

There are a few things which need to be talked about though before we jump into the weight gain meal plans. Metabolism is divided into catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism is the breaking down of food into energy.

Anabolism is the process through which cells synthesize essential compounds. The rate of metabolism is an important factor to consider if you are planning to work on a particular diet schedule.

7 Exercises for an Explosive Chest

July 18, 2023July 16, 2017 by Demmy James

The chest is one of the biggest areas of the entire body. Both pectorals makes up the vast majority of musculature on the front of the body, and as such their development can absolutely make or break your entire physique.

Having a big, well developed, chest makes you look big and lean while wearing a t-shirt – and absolutely monstrous without one.

Something worth mentioning is that the pectorals are one of the most explosive muscle groups in the entire body, in which they dominate powerful pressing movements.

Subsequently, chest development is actually maximized during these pressing movements. And it is for this same reason so many people leave a huge amount of chest development on the table – because they don’t train it correctly.

So with all this in mind, in the following article we have outlined the best 7 exercises for an explosive chest – allowing you to maximize your chest development quickly and efficiently.

1) Dumbbell Bench Press

When most people think of chest based movements, they automatically jump to the barbell bench press. And while there is nothing inherently wrong with this exercise (it offers a great tool to develop upper body strength), it doesn’t develop the pectorals nearly as well as the dumbbell bench press.

The dumbbell bench press allows us to increase our range of motion AND target the pectorals specifically (through a better line of pull) – of which both factors lead to vastly improved chest development and is thus one of the best dumbbell exercises for chest.

The important thing here is to control the eccentric portion of the lift and move the weights up as quickly as possible on the concentric portion.
