Build Size Fast - Go From Bony to Brawny in Weeks!

Expert Author Alain Gonzalez

Not everyone's body has the same ability to build size. Now I'm not blaming it on genetics, but it has a lot to do with it. However, just because you are not as "genetically gifted" as the next guy, does not mean that you are stuck being skinny forever. You see, muscle building for skinny guys is very possible, not only is it possible, but I am going to give you 3 focus points that are going to allow you to build muscle like never before regardless of your "skinny genes". So forget everything you have read in the past from "fitness professionals" who are only familiar with one kind of body type, NOT YOURS!

The main 3 things you need to know to build size as a skinny guy:
proper nutrition, what kind of workouts to perform, and how much training you need.

Eat, Eat, Eat! The number one mistake made by skinny guys is, not consuming enough (good) nutrients. Every skinny guy I have ever mentioned this to always has the same response..."I eat so much, I cant possibly eat any more than I do". Simply put, you were blessed with a naturally high metabolism, therefore if you're burning more calories than you are consuming, you just will not grow.

The type of calories you consume is another important detail when it comes to gaining weight. Let's say you should be eating at least 2500 calories daily, do not assume that by eating fast food more than once a day you will add on muscle mass. Calorie intake should always come from complex carbohydrates, clean protein sources, and natural fats. When it comes to meals, you should have 6 a day and they must be kept on a very strict schedule.

Big compound exercises should always be the focus when working out. The benefits of these types of workouts are: targeting more than one muscle group at one time, tapping into muscle fibers, helping to produce muscle building hormones in a natural way, and increasing strength rapidly.
This beginner routine I put together worked great for me, so check it out for yourself.

Take it easy! - One of the biggest mistakes made by skinny guys when they fail to see results is, they assume that they are not working out enough. WRONG! That is probably the most unfavorable thing you could possibly do. While most people assume that we build size by lifting weights, the truth is quite the opposite - we build muscle while resting. Another very powerful piece of advice I can give you is, take your workout sessions down to 3-4 a week or once every other day. By giving yourself that break from the gym, you are allowing yourself to maximize your performance by getting the rest your body needs, and also allowing your muscles to become stronger and bigger.

There you have it hardgainers, these 3 very simple steps are the answer to your inability to build size. It can't get any easier than this: maintain a clean diet, exercise properly for your body type, and most importantly - REST!You shouldn't have a hard time keeping up with these 3 very simple steps, and by doing so you will see the results you want when it comes to muscle mass soon.
