Gaining weight - Accute load vs Chronic Load
Hi,
I am wondering what the recommendations are for gaining weight to fit into the reccommended hight and weight catagories found elsewhere on this forum.
After spending quite some time reading into sheiko training and the periodisation i think its amazing!
as im a taller guy currently about 98kgs- i really should be heavier.
im guessing the general recomendations will be higher volume and a lower/moderate intensity.
Are there any more specifc ways ( apart from eat more  :) ) that sheiko style training would recommend gaining weight?  such as chronic vs acute workloads - number of lifts etc etc
any help would be greatly appriciated
thanks

Re: Gaining weight - Accute load vs Chronic Load
From various posts on this forum I have seen, being in a caloric surplus while running Sheiko is recommended.

Eating more is the primary form of gaining weight. I would leave the number of lifts and programming as written in the program. Just ensure that you are gaining at a slow and stead rate.

In my case I started at 69kgs and got to about 72kgs on my first run.

I believe that a general rule is to look to add around 1lb bodyweight per week (if you are trying to minimize fat gain).
This can probably go up for bigger lifters but I have read that from a few different sources.

Calorie surplus is the most important that, I know that sounds obvious but lots of people don't actually know how much they are eating.

I hope that is some help

Training with high volume is really paramount in my experience, and eating just over your maintenance calories to be in a caloric surplus.
