Gain 15 Pounds Of Muscle Mass

One part of my business is working with college students. There is a popular phenomenon among the college set. It's called the Freshman 15. It refers to weight gain that’s a direct result of college life. By the way, it’s not just common to females. Listen up too, if you’re a male.

As a Personal Trainer in a major college and university town, I've consulted with dozens of frustrated college guys and girls who are destroying their freshmen year by packing on dozens of pounds of fat–-instead of muscle. There are exactly 6 reasons college students have no reason not to gain muscle, instead of fat.

Avoid The Freshmen 15 & Gain 15 Pounds Of Muscle Instead
I've witnessed dozens of students develop the Skinny-Fat Syndrome I’ve also witnessed dozens of overweight students literally become the wide student body. I know how college life can be from personal experience. I've spent way too much time as a collegiate getting 2 bachelors degrees and attending graduate school. I know all about dime drafts, dollar shots, late-night pizza, 10-cent wings, buffet-style cafeterias, junk-food powered study sessions, and a jam-packed schedule that leaves you little time to exercise.

I’ve met so many students who screw up their metabolisms and turn their six-packs into kegs within just months of this dramatic lifestyle change. So what are you supposed to do? The reality is, you’re not destined to become another “Freshman 15″ statistic.

College Lifestyle Can Be Perfect For Gaining Slabs Of Quality Muscle On Your Frame
Think about it. Now here are the 6 reasons you can be guaranteed to succeed.

1. You’re young and have more muscle-building testosterone coursing through your body than any other time of your life.
2. You likely have access to an all-you-can-eat cafeteria to fuel your body with sufficient calories and the critical macro-nutrients: protein, carbohydrates, and fat. By the way, beer is not one of the critical macro-nutrients.
3. You likely have access to a world-class weight room on campus with the best equipment. You don’t have to pay for your gym membership since it’s probably factored into your tuition.
4. You’re surrounded by a steady presence of young people, many who are easy on the eyes and checking you out just as much as you’re checking them out. If that doesn’t motivate you, then I don’t know what does.
5. You have a pre-set class schedule, so this is an excellent opportunity to fit your workouts into your time-table just like you schedule your classes. If you’re in a program with over 30 hours a week, that’s even better because you’ll be FORCED to make better use of your time.
6. You have the opportunity to be the "stand out" on campus. Most students waste away their college days on boozing and partying, but too much of a good thing can be damaging to your body and life. It’s more rewarding to wake up and see a top-notch body in the mirror, rather than a pot-belly and blood shot eyes.

"I gained 41 pounds of muscle, while working a full-time job and only having a few of those reasons as an edge," says one of my more successful students. Are you going to take advantage or waste away the days of your prime?

While you’re gaining another 15 credits, you have no excuse not to gain your first or next 15 pounds of quality muscle mass to your report card.
