The Skinny Guys Fastest Way to Build Muscle - 7 Best "Print Off and Keep" Tips For Beginners

By Mike South

I've always been impressed with those who could hit the gym twice a week, chat up the pretty receptionist, and walk out with bulging muscles and not even work hard for it! That never happened to me. Having grown up as the "skinny guy," I made it my mission to get big, and I failed over and over again. I would work hard for several months only to look almost identical to when I first started. Finally, I paid for a few lessons from a local pro and from there on, my muscle mass just grew and grew!

The Problem

The reason why so many guys fail to build muscle at any noticeable rate is because of incorrect training and following advice which was not aimed at them in the first place. What I mean by that is, those who are naturally "gifted" in muscle building will get results following conventional methods which you can read in bodybuilding magazines. However, for those of us who are not "gifted" that way, we have completely different requirements to fulfill.

7 Muscle Building Tips For Beginners

Here I will share my 7 best tips which finally enabled me to no longer be that "skinny guy" any more:

1. If you want to grow, you need all the calories you can get. Weight lifting is a calorie expensive activity. So don't spend so long in the gym! Get in and get out. Don't make the mistake of believing the more time you put in the gym, the more muscle mass you will grow.

2. You grow when you're resting. The skinnier you are, the more rest you'll need! Get at least 8 hours sleep.

3. Don't waste your muscles on light-weight work... go for heavy lifting. Push yourself to the max. Aim for about ten sets in your workout and no more.

4. Focus on compound lifts only. You want the biggest bang for your buck. This includes weight lifting exercises such as squats, bench presses, dead lifts, rows and military presses.

5. Do less cardio workouts. Or none... after all, you know how valuable calories are to you, right? You certainly shouldn't spend them on the treadmill. If you must retain some cardio work, then do it in low to moderate intensity, two or three twenty minute sessions a week max. Remember, the only place you should be intensive is in the weight room.

6. Maintain proper form throughout your weight lifting. Not only to prevent injuries, but also to get the muscular gains you are looking for. Cheating form will cheat yourself of the muscles you want.

7. Find a mentor! Someone who has been where you are. Who has been there and done it. You want that someone who used to the skinny guy, who was the butt of all jokes... but then overcame it and dominated the weight room. Trust me, that guy will do absolute wonders to your motivational levels. You'll learn his secrets. His top insider-tips which will give you an unfair advantage.

Where To Go From Here

Finding someone who has been there and done it is the best tip of all. Think about it. If you wanted to know how to make a million bucks, wouldn't it make sense to ask a millionaire? You wouldn't ask just anybody would you. I wish I grasped this earlier in my life!
