Like most things...
we have always been taught that that the more work we put into something...
the better results we can expect...
But does that go for building muscle for skinny guys? You aren't going to believe me here but that is NOT true! But let's forget about me right now...
I assume you have been working your rear end off at the gym for a year...
and...
you are STILL skinny! How can that be? Boy, you must be frustrated...
as I was.
I was skinny for most of my life until I read a book that broke open the myths, hoaxes and untruths about what it takes for skinny guys to build muscle.
And if the answer isn't working out very hard 5 days a week...
then is it a super-secret work out method? BZZZZ! Wrongo! Truth be told...
you should be doing compound workouts...
you know...
workouts that uses major groups of muscles.
Pushups, squats or if you are in the gym...
chest presses and barbell squats for instance.
Those exercises uses a lot of muscles...
What you shouldn't be doing is isolated exercises such as bicep curls or even...
situps! Gasp! What in the world am I talkin' about? I'm talking about effective and efficient workouts.
And no more garbage about those low weight high rep workouts.
Supposedly they are supposed to make you more defined but nothing can be further from the truth.
You see, if you want to get defined muscle...
you need to lose body fat.
Lose the body fat and the muscles will look ripped and toned.
But that is for later...
right now you just want to gain muscle weight.
And to do that...
you need to stop going to the gym more than 3 days a week.
I'm not joking here...
you see your muscles ONLY grow when you are resting and eating.
If you are at the gym pumping the weights like no tomorrow every day of the week...
you are going to risk injury, get bored and...
remain skinny! Again, don't believe me.
Just stand in front of the mirror and take a good look at yourself...
are you still skinny in spite of working out extra hard? The truth sometimes hurts huh? :) OK.
So now we know we are only going to work out 3 days a week.
And how long? No more than a hour.
What does that mean? Workout out with heavy weights and get out of the gym.
Go home rest and eat good quality foods.
The conclusion you can take away from this article is this...
Work out to build muscle 3 times a week and no more than 1 hour per session.
And focus on compound exercises...
not isolated exercises.
