If you’re a skinny guy wishing to start bodybuilding, here are some body building tips for you. If you practice these along with a healthy weight gain diet combined with the free bodybuilding routines I'll give you at the end of this article, your success is almost guaranteed.
The secret is to know how muscles grow, and influence as many factors that affect muscle growth as efficiently as possible. Your lifestyle, your nutrition, the effectiveness of your bodybuilding routines, how much recovery your muscles are getting, your hormone production and responses, your metabolism, stress, your mindset – they all play a role in determining the amount and rate of your muscle growth.
If you're just starting to body building, here are top tips I can give you:
Body building Tip #1. Consider Your Body Type When Setting Your Body building Goals
A common mistake many beginners make is doing a program that is completely wrong for their genetic make up, so they fail to gain massive results and quit. The key is to know your body then adopt a muscle building program that is appropriate to your body type!
Each person has a different capacity to grow muscle. Factors like how much protein synthesis your body can create, your Testosterone and cortisol levels, your insulin response, etc all affect how much muscles your body can create.
Your body type plays a role in your muscle building capacity. Mesomorphs are those who can grow muscles like weeds. Endomorphs need to work extra hard because they gain FAT faster than weeds can grow. If you're an Ectomorph (the naturally skinny type), well your problem is you look like a weed!
You may not be able to develop legs or biceps as fast as Mesomorphs could, but you could certainly attain a level of muscle growth that fully maximize your body’s potentials – and that’s what you should aim for. Don't aim to be freaky big in a matter of a few weeks, just work on fully realizing your own body’s potentials.
Bodybuilding Tip #2. Educate Yourself
How much do you really know about building muscle mass? If you don’t know much, how can you expect to be successful in muscle building? Bodybuilding for muscle growth requires A LOT of hard work, determination and lots and lots of mental and physical resilience. So if you’re going to do it you might as well do it the right way from the very start.
I trained ignorantly for years before I even researched about muscle building! I used to do random exercises using random weights. My weight training routines depended on my mood, on how much weight I felt like lifting on a given day, or how motivated I happened to feel like at any given time. My muscle growth wasn't just inconsistent, it was negligible!
Stupid, stupid, stupid mistake.
Do your research and find a weight training program suitable to your goals and situation. You can get a mentor, hire a reputable personal trainer, buy bodybuilding DVDs, or buy a multi media program that will educate you about muscle building. Whatever you do, make sure the program you’re doing is proven, tried and tested – then study the program fully before you start.
No Nonsense Muscle Building by Vince DelMonte is the best Muscle Building Program I’ve found for this purpose. If you’re female, check out No Nonsense Body Shaping for Women, also by Vince DelMonte (and Shannon Clark).
Body building Tip #3. Model a Proven Plan to Getting Big Fast- and Stick to It!
After you’ve chosen a suitable program, commit to follow the program until you complete it, all the while tracking and monitoring your results. Be consistent and persistent.
Don't jump from one program to another within 2 weeks. That's another stupid mistake and a guaranteed recipe for failure. That’s just like cooking a meal with only half the ingredients and then declaring that the recipe sucks! (I should know – I used to do train like that!)
The only reason you will fail is if you give up before the magic happens. So just take it one step at a time and keep your momentum going. Just stick to one program, and make progress each day.
