After starting college you realized that how important it was to be healthy and alert not only in class but also in general. Therefore, It is important to educate yourself  by researching and dedicating some time to be knowledgeable in weight training and dieting, if you want to put on weight by increasing muscle and lose fat in order to stay lean and healthy. As an Indian kid with “desi genetics”it really doesn’t help you have a good start to your venture, but with some determination you can tweak your genetic makeup and fool your body in order to reach your goals. All of the Desi Guys out there know what I am talking about. I know that at some point in your life a thought must have crossed you mind that “hey I am sooo skinny…how can I get big like some of these kids who wear Affliction t-shirts and have arms like the size of my thighs”. Am I RIGHT?? Well..if you answered Yes to my question then you are a step closer to being lean and muscular…if you answered NO then you are either content or want to lose the excess fat which you have amassed over the years by going to frat parties and drinking their jungle juice, going to some kids place who lives with 4 other roommates on a off campus house who  just invited you to come to his house party at the end of midterms OR your weekly hookah and beer pong meetings.

Sooo the big question is why can’t you gain weight? I believe there are couple of reasons for this problem you are facing. First, it’s your genetic makeup…remember bio class all you premed students??? You get half the genes from your mother and half from your father…soooo if your parents are naturally skinny, then you most likely will have the same body type….(of course there are a few people which do not fit this hypothesis). Second, its your metabolism. Your body just simply burns more calories than compared to a person who is a little built. Therefore, the type of diet that you have plays a crucial role in order to gain weight (More on this later…)

Soo all of you desi guys…and also people who are reading this and thinking if it pertains to you as well…ready to take a dive into how you can do this? How you can gain weight and lean muscle and maintain it?

There are a few rules for this journey and you CANNOT and I cant stress this enough…YOU CANNOT..break these rules if you want to achieve your goals.

Here on this site..I will give you details on the diet and bodybuilding exercises you need to follow and which I have followed over the years in order to gain lean muscle. So stay tuned for my next article (Part 2)…
