Body building Tips for Skinny Guys 4 Rules for Building Muscle Mass

Are you a naturally skinny guy/gal struggling to put on weight and gain muscle mass?

I know how you feel. I used to be underweight, too. I have a fast metabolism and had twigs for legs and arms.

I read every bodybuilding magazine I could and downed one weight gain supplement after another. At one point I was shelling out well over $300 a month just trying to get bigger!

But none of them worked.

I was ready to quit when I stumbled upon Vince Del Monte’s No nonsense Muscle Building program. Vince was a skinny guy himself and within 6 months went from a scrawny 139-lb weakling to a robust 197-lb muscle man with 10% body fat. He definitely got my attention.

So I resolved to put his system to the test. 15 weeks later, I had gained weight like I never did before.

So let me share here the things I learned from Vince Del Monte’s No nonsense Muscle Building e-book. The top rules for skinny guys (which I followed dilligently), according to Vince Del Monte are:


Body building Tip #1: Eat Big servings of Wholesome, Healthy Food 5 to 6 Times a Day

Your diet is one of the biggest factors (the others being your lifestyle and weight training program) that will affect your bodybuilding efforts, so make sure you have the right weight gain diet.

If you’re consistently feeding your muscles, they have no choice but to grow. Deprive them of proper nutrition, and it will be physically impossible for them to increase in size.

Consume foods like:

* Organic Fruits
* Organic Vegetables
* Nuts and seeds – good sources of high-quality good fats
* Legumes and sprouted grains
* Lean meats and/or seafood

Make sure you’re running on CLEAN fuel. Avoid foods that are high in fat, high in sugar, simple carbs, processed foods,foods that are high in preservatives and anything that have ingredients you can hardly pronounce or spell.


Body building Tip #2: Conserve Your Energy

Conserve your calories and put them towards your muscle growth, so avoid high volume work. Don't spend more than an hour at the gym – go for high load work. Get in the gym, train hard and get out fast.

Most workouts you’ll see out there call for 20 sets or more. Your workouts should be 10 to 12 (or less) sets but lift really heavy weights and push yourself to the max.

With regards to Cardio, as long as you’re eating smart, lean, wholesome foods, you won’t need to do hours of cardio work. Doing moderate intensity Cardio workouts twice a week will burn some fat, but don’t over do it.


Body building Tip #3: Focus on Compound Exercises
More muscle growth will be produced if you engage your whole body as much as you can in every exercise you do. Compound exercises are those that engage the main muscle groups altogether, like Squats, Lunges, Rows, Presses, body lifts and Deadlifts.

Compound exercises make every muscle on your body bigger because they literally work your entire body. So I challenge you to just experiment with this one rule alone and I guarantee you that it will give you MASSIVE results.


Building Muscle Mass Rule #4: Get Enough Recovery Time, Quantity-Wise and Quality-Wise

Get enough rest in between your workouts. Remember that you’re muscles actually grow NOT during your workout but during your rest period.

Skinny guys like us need even more rest so make sure you abide by this rule or you’ll just compromise yourself and end up not gaining the maximum benefits from your hard work!

Getting adequate sleep is a good start. Avoid staying up late – in fact, be in bed before midnight. Researches have shown that we get a higher quality of rest if we retire before midnight. So ditch the frequent all-nighters and minimize late night outs boozing with your buddies.

Conclusion

To sum up your new approach to your weight lifting sessions: get in the gym, train hard by doing Compound (whole body) exercises using proper technique, get out quick, eat the right foods every 2 to 3 hours in big quantities, and get adequate rest.

Repeat this process over a few months with determination and commitment and you will go from skinny to brawny in no time at all – guaranteed!

The truth of the matter is it's not easy to reach your highest potential for muscle growth without proper guidance and enough support. I myself had been working out for years and did not see any gains until I discovered Vince DelMonte's No Nonsense Muscle Building. If you're built like an ectomorph like myself, have super fast metabolism and struggle to put on muscle or gain weight, No Nonsense Muscle Building is the best program I've ever used. I gained 5 kg of muscles within 9 weeks using this program so I highly recommend it.. The most important thing is to educate yourself about what truly works. Action without knowledge is just as bad as no action at all. If you're serious about gaining muscles, you might as well get it right.
