Skinny hardgainers must know the most effective muscle building techniques if they hope to put on muscle.You must remember that everyone is different, and some people can put on muscle easier than others, and what works well for some may not work well for others.
I have 5 concepts and tips that are especially helpful for those who have always had trouble putting on muscle.
Skinny guys do not want to work out infrequently, they should train often with weights of low volumA lot of hardgainers make the mistake of over-training their body and it ends up having the reverse effect.What is important, is to do lower reps of an exercise, but with high weight, so that you really get a hard burn.
One's diet CANNOT be underestimated when it comes to putting on muscle.You're going to need to eat more than you're used to.You want to make time for 5-6 smaller meals, but rich in protein calories.You want to eat around 30 minutes before you work out, and then again soon after you finish.If it is tough for you to prepare the right kind of meals, protein shakes can be good substitutes.
When you are working out, you need to focus in working different muscle groups on different days.On Monday do chest and biceps, Wednesday do triceps and shoulders and Friday do back and legs, or something similiar to that plan.Don't ever work out the same muscle groups more than once over a period of 5 days, they need time to regenerate and build up.
If you don't see much change at the beginning of your program, don't get frustrated.It takes a good amount of time, at least 3 weeks, to start to see muscle mass gains.It is a good idea to keep a journal of your workouts so you can look back and see the improvements you have made.
The mental aspect of working out is often the hardest to control.It is a good idea to train with a partner, like a family member or friend, so they can keep you accountable and encourage you through the program.Even if they can't be there every single workout, it is still a great idea, because you'll find it much better overall if every now and then you have someone to go through the weigh-lifting with.
