Underweight? How I put on 25lbs+ of muscle in 4 months with no training | Rejuvenate Pod Ep 18

Rejuvenate Podcast with Elwin Robinson & Krissy Hawkes

Is it possible to gain 12kg (30lbs) of weight, in a few months, without using any steroids, and without doing any resistance training... without gaining any fat?
Common sense might say no. But in this episode Elwin breaks the usual more educational format of this podcast by sharing the results of an experiment he did on himself, and speculates on the various factors that may have made this happen.
Along the way, Krissy and Elwin cover a multitude of topics, and finish with some advice for anyone who is underweight who wants to gain more muscle.
