Getting bigger arms and legs for thin girls

simrin_s

I’m a very thin female who eats a lot but gains almost nothing because of my fast metabolism. Any tips on how to bulk up my arms and legs and keep them that way. Certain foods that help or exercises I should be doing? I heard weight lifting is good.

Increase your caloric intake slowly until you start gaining weight (about .5lb/weekly on average) and hold steady. Once it tails off, start increasing again by 100-200 until weight starts trending upwards again. Eat more caloric dense foods if needed to reach your goal.

I would hop on any program of your choosing that incorporates something along the lines of...

squatting or simular movements 2-3x a week
some form of deadlifting 2x week
and form(s)of pressing 3-4 slots a week with some arm work 2x week.
