How Do I Gain Weight?
Posted: 04-27-04 07:35am

Hi, I just turned 14 on april 20 and I have quite a hard time gaining weight. I weigh about 105 lbs. And I am 5"6. I play basketball almost everyday, about 2-3 hours. I also do not want to stun my growth, for I read heavy weight training will stun your growth, and at the same time I would like to gain additional muscle if it is possible with gaining weight. Help would be great, thanks.

This probably doesn't apply to my weight but, I am also diagnosed with ashtma since I was born and I have been using the nebulizer rarely and the inhaler. Two, I don't breath from my nose like everybody else does, but from my mouth, inhale and exhale. Allergies kill and it had got me sneezing, runny nose, stuffy nose, etc. Does ashtma have to do anything with my weight, maybe the medicine that treats ashtma?

You Need to Up Your Protein Intake--it Helps Build Muscle

You should see what your doctor says first---i think 14 is fine as your bones have matured and are stronger. The doctor will know for sure---but upping your protein intake will assit you in builing muscle....Weights would be good....But not overly heavy to start....Just moderate weights.....Used consistently....
Swimming and other exercise is good for widening of the shoulders and definition.....Etc...
