Zero to Hero!
You are skinny and you want to build muscle. You want to be healthy and fit. You want to be able to handle yourself if a situation arises. You want to be the focus of the attention from others when you are in a social setting. Yeah, that’s you, now it’s time to figure out how to build muscle and build it fast.
Are You Eating Enough?
Sure, you eat plenty for who you are now, but do you eat enough to gain some weight and turn it into muscle? Are you eating the right stuff to be healthy and hearty?
Begin by monitoring your daily caloric intake. A simple and easy way to do this is to keep a food or meal journal. You could use a notebook and pen, or you can go high tech and use your smartphone. There is in no doubt an app for that.
The daily recommended values, from the FDA, are based on, an average 2000 calorie diet. However, if you want to gain some weight and build muscle, a higher caloric intake with proper nutrition is a must. You cannot eat just anything and expect everything to fall or rise into place. You have been doing that forever, and it hasn’t quite worked out.
As a skinny man you have a higher metabolism burning off the nutrients at a much higher rate, so an increase is mandatory to have the needed energy to build muscle. You may even need to eat every 2-3 hours to keep building.
Now that you have the art of nutrition mastered, or at least you are on your way, what about actual exercise to build muscle fast? It may be hard to believe, but working out is required to build muscle. You cannot become an Adonis through osmosis, it takes real work, challenging work, but not as much as you expect.
Hit the Gym
Working with a trainer or personal fitness expert at your gym is the best way to begin your muscle building routine. You cannot go into the gym and find the biggest, bad ass looking dude to mimic. His warm-up routine will probably put you in the hospital. A routine must be tailored to meet you where you are and build from there.
Ensure that you are performing the exercises properly. If you are performing the workouts inaccurately even by mistake and not laziness, then you are going to get less than satisfying results. You will plateau sooner and perhaps even regress. With the trainer’s assistance, learn the proper methods and techniques to make your time in the gym more rewarding.
In many cases regarding exercise sets and repetitions, less will actually mean more in your quest on how to build muscle fast for skinny guys.
Due to our physical make-up and hormonal structures, we can over exhaust our different muscle groups and our body through the build up of lactic acid. To avoid the muscle crash, it is recommended that for upper body workouts repetition rates should be in the 6-12 repetitions per set.
However, the lower body and legs can require more because of the muscle structure you have built from your everyday routines in life. We walk, stand, or are generally on our feet and legs more than we use our upper body muscle groups. Therefore the lower body repetitions of 12-20 per set need should be implemented to compensate.
One final misunderstanding is that to build muscle fast, you must spend several hours a day in the gym. It is simply not true. Some studies indicate that going beyond a 45-minute workout actually can work against you, especially hormonal wise.
If you will start by becoming an overall healthier person, then muscle growth will soon follow. A thought to ponder, you will not be skinny one day and muscle bound the next, it will take work over time. Be patient, but don’t give up.
