Just got test results back from the doctor and found out i have double the hyrochloric acid and hydrolytic enzymes in my stomach than the average human being. This is going to back it 2x harder to gain weight. Is there any medicines to help with this problem or am i just going to have to eat double the amount? Hydrochloric acid and hydrolytic enzymes are the main substances in your stomach that breaks down the food.

basicly:
.1 Train hard and lift heavy weights- it's important that you keep Challenging your body and making it work harder all the time. workout at least 3 times a week but no more then 4.
.2 Give your body the time it needs to recover and make sure you get planty of sleep( at least 8 hours every night)
3. get you'r diet in order. This means that from now on you have to eat every 2-3 hours. Focus on foods that have a lot of protein like meat, chicken, tuna fish and eggs, the rest of your diet should be made up of organic foods like vegetables and whole carbs.

Good article pal. Some really good bits.
I would however disagree with some bits.
"Now, here is one key point you can't forget: don't make the mistake of believing that because the reps are relatively high, means you are only going to be using light weights. Think just the opposite, you are going to be training with HEAVY weights (relative to your strengths or course) for HIGH reps. Sounds like a paradox I know, but heavy weight for high reps will work for these exercises, and more importantly, they will work wonders for your weight gains."
For me this is practically impossible. If you are training properly and unless you are training a very very specific , you should train every set to failure. So to increase the weight and rep range...for one to go up the other must come down, it's science. Also science says to achieve muscle hypertrophy your rep range should be 8-12...this is proven and works. And muscle size increase = weight increase....again science.
"1) Squats: 2 x 15
2) Bench Press: 3 x 12
3) Bent-Over Barbell Rows: 3 x 15
4) Overhead or Military Press: 2 x 12
5) Romanian Deadlifts: 1 x 15"
I would chuck in a pull up/chin up as well, this is a must do exercise.
I think you can increase your training sessions to 3-5 per week. The key thing about weight gain is your nutrition. That goes for all programs really. Nutrition needs to be spot on
"Don't think that squats and Romanian deadlifts will only make your legs big. In fact, if you do them in the way I'm about to reveal to you, they will be responsible for 80% of the weight you will gain on your WHOLE body."
This the essential truth and should be at the front of your mind when training. Great point.
"The second aspect is your diet. The number one rule to gaining weight is this: you will only gain weight when you have consumed more calories then you have burned. So here's what you should do next: starting tomorrow, eat what you normally eat everyday, but count how many calories you are eating. Whatever your number is, your goal is to eat around 500 to 1,000 more calories then that each day. Here is a little trick to help you do that: every morning make yourself a huge protein shake, enough to fit in a gallon container, and consume it evenly throughout the day, both with and without your meals. Throw in a bunch of healthy, calorie and protein packed foods until altogether until it equals the 500 to 1,000 extra calories you need. Examples of what you can add are milk, a banana, peanut butter, molasses, powdered milk, and ice cream.
The last aspect you can't forget if you want to learn how to gain weight when you have a fast metabolism is to limit your other activities and rest as much as possible. Any time you're moving you're burning extra calories, and you'll want to burn as little as possible outside of your weight training. That means no cardiovascular exercises or any sports for that matter. Remember, you are trying to learn how to gain weight when you have a fast metabolism and any activity outside your weight training is counter-productive."
You couldn't be more right here pal. Great comments and advice. Really hit the nail on the head. Good article overall.
Just out of curiosity what were your gains and measurements?
My opinion is only opinion remember everybody is different and we all react differently to everything in health and fitness.

Yeah it sucks having a fast metabolism.. I was always toothpick skinny until the past 6 months because I got into body building and am taking it seriously now. You almost have to cut out cardio because it's counterproductive and it's that much more you have to make up for in calories. Used to run and play basketball everyday but I realized it was taking away from what I was doing in the gym.
