When you understand and follow the main three rules I am going to tell you, you can't go wrong in gaining weight and muscle. I have seen lots of guys on the gym, who just can't figure out what they are doing wrong. Here is every weight lifters checklist:

1. Workouts
Of course, the muscle needs stimulation to grow bigger. Every time the muscle is stressed, the muscle will grow bigger, so that it won't be as stressed next time. Repeating this process will eventually make your muscles big. There are endless amounts of workout programs out there, you need to find one that meets your needs.

2. Food
The muscle won't live on just the Holy Spirit, it needs food. You should try to eat at least 500kcal more than your daily consumption. The correct balance between protein, carbohydrates and fats is also important. You should try to eat 45% carbohydrates, 35% Proteins, and the remaining 20% should be healthy fats.

3. Rest
This is what many weight lifters stumble on. Once the muscle has been stressed, it becomes injured, and will try to heal so that it won't get injured next time. The optimal healing time between stressing a muscle is 72 hours. Working out every single day will cause injuries in the long run. Also to long intervals between training is bad as well, as the muscle thinks it doesn't need to do anything and it will shrink.

So by understanding all of these points, you are on a good way in gaining weight and muscle. Missing even one WILL show in your results, so take good time preparing, and making yourself a working program.
