15 Muscle Building Rules for Skinny Guys and Gals!

WHY CAN’T YOU GAIN WEIGHT?

Though there may be many reasons why you may be thin, the most apparent reason is because of your genetics. If your parents are naturally thin or have a small body frame, then you will most likely have the same small body type.

To some degree, your size can also be controlled by your metabolism. If you have a difficult time gaining weight of any kind (fat or muscle) then you most likely have a fast metabolism. That simply means that your body burns calories at a faster than normal rate. You must take this into account whenever you are considering a particular diet or training program. Is it geared towards someone with your metabolism and goal?

Now as you know, there are many ways to train. Hundreds, thousands even. Some work and some do not, but for the specific goal of gaining weight, there are a few UNIVERSAL things that all skinny guys must do.

Though much of the information I cover here is not as “magical” as you may like, I consider these rules to be the basics with regard to weight gain. These are not all of the answers, but they are definite elements that MUST be addressed in any successful weight gain program.

Gain Muscle Mass and Weight Fast If You Cannot Bulk Up

Skinny people can gain muscle mass and weight fast with the right combination of exercises and weight gain diet. But in order to attain a muscular physique like those of bodybuilders would require much more effort. It requires great discipline and mental focus. This article will shed some light on the exercise routines you can perform to achieve a well-defined body and gain muscle strength, muscle mass and weight.

Weight gain must not be attained by changes in diet only. Adequate exercises are required to ensure a healthy weight increase. If you are thin and just want to add some pounds to your scrawny build, you can consider working out thrice per week. For each work-out, engage in some moderate physical activities such as jogging, brisk walking or fast walking, or play a game of sport. Be sure to sweat it out for half an hour or more.

People have found it helpful to find an exercise partner, whether to go for regular runs, or work out at the gym. It wouldn’t be so boring and lonely to exercise then. Another benefit is the mutual encouragement that both of you can give to each other. This would spur you on to inculcate the discipline required to maintain an exercise regime. Research shows that if you repeatedly perform an act for 40 days, it would be ingrained in your mind as a habit. It’s little wonder that people would go on cold turkey for 40 days to quit a habit such as smoking or just about any addiction. Exercise is healthy addiction, isn’t it?
