While you don’t need to go to extremes to build muscle and gain weight, you do need a plan. You need to write down your training routine and also your diet. What you also have to keep in mind is that everybody has a different genetic potential.

Everyone Is Different, Use What Works For You

Once you get your plan together and start training consistently you will find what works for you and what feels the most comfortable. No matter what people say, certain exercises aren’t for certain people. Unless you plan on making a living in the fitness industry you will become discouraged by doing exercises that you dislike. For example, I don’t like doing bent over rows for my back so I do pull-ups instead. It is still a basic, compound movement that gives me great results.

Different factors make people different in varying stages. Some are naturally stronger, some can gain muscle easier, some can lose fat easier etc. That is why it makes sense to cater your weight gain program and find what is right for you and your body type. Always start with less and work from there. It is better to start off under training than over training. Most importantly use common sense.
