Skinny Man No More Workout Guide

Gaining weight is impossible for me. Not True!

One of the main reasons some men and women cannot gain weight is because of their genes. Look at your parents as most likely they or someone in your family has a skinny body type just like you. The second reason you cannot gain weight is your metabolism is hack a fast. Everything you are eating is getting burned off before it can even get to your muscles or be used in some sort for gaining weight.

You may have given up and even settled in your mind that this is my body type and I just have to live with it. Not at all! The reason you have trouble gaining weight is that you do not know the “Key Foundations” for putting on the extra pounds of lean muscle mass.

Build Muscle Key Foundations

1. Goal Setting for a Plan of Attack

There are two vitally important things you must know before you go any further and that is:

  • What are your specific goals
  • how will you achieve those goals

Knowing exactly what you want and how you will achieve it is the first step towards building muscle as you have now a plan of attack. This might sound a little corny but let me just mention that your concentration, determination and confidence will be the reason why you will have success this time gaining weight and building muscle.

2. Stick with the Weight Training Basics

Avoid trying every workout you see and hear about in magazines and on the TV as everyone is different and they are probably not the best routine for you.

Rules to follow:

  1. Train frequently
  2. Use compound exercises
  3. Pick challenging weights
  4. Free weights all the way
  5. Focus more on the eccentric motion
  6. Short but intense
  7. Limit aerobic exercise
  8. Stick with a program

3. Eat to Build not to Burn

Here is the basic breakdown of how you are going to eat: eat more, eat more frequently and eat more frequently the right foods. Pretty simple right!

The basic rule of thumb is you must eat more than you burn to gain weight so if you want to gain muscle you must eat more so the extra calories goes to your muscles. Eating more frequently gives your body consistent revenue of energy to burn or to build. When eating only 3 times a day your body is being cut short of calories needed to build muscle. Aim for 5 to 6 small meals a day for that consistent concentration of energy going to your muscle.

The last one is eating more of the right foods as I am sorry to say but soda, candy and fast food are not what is needed to build muscle. The right foods are complex carbohydrates, lean proteins and healthy fats all in the right proportions.

Muscle Building Foods

  • Chicken
  • Turkey
  • Dairy Products
  • Salmon
  • Red Meats
  • Eggs
  • Milk
  • Pasta
  • Yogurt
  • Potatoes
  • Vegetables

The saying “you are what you eat” is exactly right. If you want to build muscle and gain weight, you must eat like weight lifters as the food needed to rebuild your muscles after an intense workout is far beyond eating to lose weight.

Last, if you have not implemented supplements into your training program than this is something you will need to look into. I am not a huge believer in mass supplement using but the basic supplementation goes a long way.

Basic Muscle Building Supplements

  • Whey Protein
  • Creatine
  • Glutamine
  • Multi-vitamins
  • Protein bars or meals replacements

Don’t over use these supplements but implementing the basic supplements into your eating program could give you the edge you have been looking for this entire time. So remember, goal setting for a plan of attack, weight training basics and eat to build with food and supplements. You might believe these are only the basics and you are right but most people have not perfected the basics. Perfect the basics and move on from there.
