How To Build Muscle For Skinny Guys | Complete Guide

I was always skinny and had a hard time putting on muscle mass until I started implementing the strategies in this video.

Being too skinny or being a hardgainer is something I hear about all the time. I use to be this exact way and I did so many things wrong when trying to put muscle on. Thats why I wanted to make this video. To stop you from making the mistakes I did, help you maximize your gains, and be efficient with your time.

The first step is to evaluate your diet. This may sound obvious, but I cannot tell you how many times I have had a friend or clients not eating enough when they think they are. A quick and dirty rule is to add 500 calories a day and go from there. If you are REALLY skinny then you can add 1000 calories. Yes, this is a lot of food, but trust me its necessary.

The second step is to keep your programming simple. Do the movements you know give you a pump, get you sore, and that you enjoy doing. Then simply add weight each week. Progressive overload at its finest. A quick and dirty rule here is to add 5 pounds to upper body lifts and 10 pounds to lower body moves per week.
