Do you truly know how to build muscle and gain weight quickly?
If you knew how to build muscle then the skinny jokes would have ended long ago.
If you knew how to gain weight quickly then the blank stares would stop when you
tell someone you work out with weights. And if you knew how to build muscle and
gain weight quickly you would no longer frustrated that the scale has not budged
upwards since you first started lifting.
I know from first hand experience what it feels like to train for hours in the gym,
slug back protein shake after protein shake, spend your hard earned money on over-priced
and over-hyped supplements, with little or nothing to show for it! If this is you
than you're not alone and are probably missing a few key ingredients that you're
executing effectively.
If you're a naturally skinny person than you must play by a different set of rules.
If you were not gifted with muscle friendly genes than does it make sense to follow
a program by someone who builds muscle even when they sneeze? If you're training
drug free than does it make sense to take advice from a guy who's spending
a few thousand dollars a month on steroids?
Or maybe you're taking advice from someone with great genetics? That's like
taking money advice from someone who inherited a fortune! You must accept the fact
if you have muscle 'unfriendly' genes you must be prepared to play by a different
set of rules if you want to build muscle and turn heads!
Here are a few simple tips to show you - the skinny guy -

Train like a barbarian!
Do people stop and watch you work out? Do you reach the point in a workout where
you question your ability to finish? If you treat working out more like a hobby
than a job than it's no surprise that you do not stand out in a crowd and
are still spinning your wheels.
The majority of people that work out in a gym barely sweat and spend more time starring
in the mirror and trying to impress the new front desk girl than getting into the
'zone' and crashing through previous training limits.
Here are some tips on how to 'train like a barbarian':
1. Treat every single set like it is your last set.
2. Treat every single rep like your life depends on it.
3. Wear a stop watch and ensure that you keep the rest period honest.
4. Wear a sweater so you can't stare at yourself in the mirror.
5. Wear a head set on that tells others 'do not disturb.'
6. No girl friends allowed or wimpy guy friends who are going to compromise the
intensity of your workout.
7. Train with an intensity that scares the gym shorts off of every person in your
path.
Are you starting to get the picture? There is a philosophy that simply states, "You
get what you focus on." Focus on training like a barbarian and you will soon
start looking like a barbarian!
