Use Short High-Intensity Workouts
Describing a workout as "short" has never been a bad thing in our book. And saying that short workout is actually better than the longer ones? Say no more, you've sold us already.
"To gain weight and build muscle, short high-intensity 30- to 45-minute workouts are ideal," Konforti explained. "These workouts should be based around compound free-weight exercises like squats, deadlifts, rows, and presses. These movements incorporate the major muscles to challenge the whole body. The result is a short but high-intensity workout that stimulates your muscles but also doesn't overdo it. After all, muscle is built during recovery, not exercise, so overtraining is definitely a no-go for gaining weight."
