How do you gain 5lbs of muscle in one week?

Answer 1

In three or four weeks you can lay a good foundation. It's unlikely that, unless you have a very low percentage of body fat, you'll be able to see any muscular development in three weeks. Your poundages, however, should increase, which will demonstrate a strength gain. There's no trick to it. Train hard, plenty of rest and sleep, and eat properly.

Do the basic, multi-joint exercises, namely, squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, dips, and chins. Focus on overall growth. You can also use other multi-joint exercises such as farmer's walk or sled pulling, but generally avoid single-joint exercises. You must eat correctly. For example, you should be ingesting plenty of protein from natural sources and avoiding refined processed carbohydrates. Drink plenty of water. Avoid over-training and get plenty of rest. It's better to think of it as a lifestyle. For the free exercise and eating plans to get you started, see the page links, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.
