Student trying to gain Muscle Checklist
1. Nutrition
Assess daily caloric needs
Increase protein intake (aim for 1.6-2.2 grams per kg of body weight)
Include healthy fats (avocado, nuts, olive oil)
Load up on carbohydrates (whole grains, fruits, and vegetables)
Plan meals and snacks in advance
Stay hydrated (drink plenty of water throughout the day)
2. Training
Establish a consistent workout routine (aim for at least 3-5 days a week)
Focus on strength training exercises (squats, deadlifts, bench press)
Incorporate compound movements to engage multiple muscle groups
Gradually increase weights and resistance (progressive overload)
Include rest days for recovery and muscle growth
3. Recovery
Prioritize sleep (aim for 7-9 hours per night)
Incorporate active recovery days (light activities like walking or yoga)
Stretch and foam roll regularly to prevent injuries
Listen to your body and avoid overtraining
4. Tracking Progress
Keep a workout journal to log exercises, weights, and reps
Take regular progress photos to visually track changes
Measure body composition (body fat percentage and muscle mass)
Set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals
5. Supplementation (if needed)
Consider protein supplements (whey, casein, or plant-based options)
Research other supplements (creatine, BCAAs, etc.) for potential benefits
Consult with a healthcare professional before starting any supplements
6. Stay Motivated
Find a workout buddy for accountability and support
Join fitness classes or groups for social motivation
Celebrate small achievements along the way
