    Default Fastest way to gain weight healthily?

    I've been on a workout routine and I am gaining weight but TOO slowly. I go on regular runs twice a day. Should I skip it till after I gain weight?

    In my opinion, for an ectomorph to gain weight (or really muscles), is to gorge on high protein diet and perform exercises involving hypertrophy instead of the usual cardio and gradually increasing diet.

    What is "hypertrophy"? And Is there any substitute for pushups for biceps, lol?

    Hypertrophy is a process when you lift increasingly heavier weights so that the muscles(tissues to be more precise) go in regular cycles if tearing up, healing and gradually getting bigger. The reps you do don't have to be very long. The Only thing important is heavier weights.
    Continuous exertion on lighter weights will increase your endurance and give you a mean/chiseled look. I see that you are Indian.
    Hypertrophy will make you look like Salman Khan, while pushups will make you look like Ranbir Kapoor.

    Get a pull up bar for Biceps, if you want the chiseled look then stick to body weight exercises like push ups, pull ups, jumping squats and crunches. If you want to get big then get a gym membership and up your diet, lift big and try to get around 6-8 reps out for each exercise.

    You should stretch after running and then your legs won't hurt.

    Try a little yoga, it can not hurt, an you may grow to like it, it helps me keep the mussel I already have...
    Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems such as those connected with reality... Existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind and language... It strikes me as peculiar that most concern themselves solely with language, the least of all philosophies...

    Just eat Bosnian food like Pita Krompirusa and Ustipci. Those foods are responsible why I'm fat.

    If you are Indian then there must be places to learn surya namaskara which can be used to build up the arms legs and chest.

    I would recommend that you eat plenty of urad / kali dal khichari, perhaps every two hours, and after exercise.

    Personally, I think that running is completely overrated and would focus on hatha yoga and weight training. You now have shin splits which are horribly painful. Why do that to yourself? Runners burn out at age forty-five.

    Los Angeles (Hollywood) is now a centre of excellence for hatha yoga because it works...

    I am assuming that you have heard of the herbal tonic Ashwagandha; this would help to prevent injury and aid by preparing your body for exercise and increasing your appetite, and much more...

    Always breathe through the nose, never the mouth!
