I want to gain 20lbs by christmas

[Earl-Hickey]

This gives me approx 10 weeks, so 2lb a week.

It doesn't need to be 100% lean weight but i don't want just 20lbs of fat, is this an achievable goal and if so how would you reccomend i go about achieving it?

You've got ages................



In all seriousness, if you want to do it healthily and with muscle mass rather than fat you will need to incorporate a full body weights schedule focussing on heavier weights and lower reps (4-6 reps per exercise, where the sixth rep is pretty much the last rep of the weight that you could lift.....at least 3 sets of each exercise too).

I'd recommend 4 solid gym sessions a week lasting 40 mins - 60 mins. The other days of the week would be recovery days.

You'll need to exceed the 1 gram of protein per every Kg of body weight daily (and with regular eating throughout the day, rather than eating scarcely all day and then having a monster evening meal).

And you'll achieve your goals more quickly if you dont do much cardio exercise.
