What people say. Recommended as a helpful guide for learning proper upper body mechanics and joint positioning during bodyweight exercises.
Great question! As you probably expect, to get the results you're looking for, you'll need to do some work. 20 lbs is a lot of weight to gain, but it's an attainable goal! It's probably not what you want to hear, but in your first year, you shouldn't expect to put on more than 10 lbs of healthy weight. You'll need to be patient!
A great way to get started is with a simple 3 or 4 day per week routine that focuses on weight training and concludes with some high intensity cardio of some type. I've personally lost body fat but gained weight at the same time for months straight using this type of routine, and I really enjoy this style of training. It's fast, has great results, and you'll love…
