THE TOP 5 ADVICE FOR SKINNY MEN TRYING TO
BUILD MUSCLE
INTRODUCTION:
Are you sick of hearing how fortunate you are that you can’t put on weight? These five weight
gain strategies can get your body moving in the right direction.
From Adrian Guščia
If you want to change the way your body appears, pay attention to these six tips, and you’ll soon
be packing on fantastic muscle.
1. Eat to keep your muscles strong.
Eating is unquestionably the most important aspect of muscular growth. You need to eat a lot of
proteins, which are essential for growing muscle, as well as carbohydrates, which serve as your
body’s main source of energy. Your body will start relying on your muscles and proteins for
energy if you don’t ingest enough carbs throughout the day. The best foods for growing muscle
include chicken, turkey, steak, rice, pasta, oats, almonds, milk, eggs, and fish. So use caution
when eating these!
2. Eat every two to three hours.
Your body needs nutrition all the time, especially if you’re trying to gain muscle growth. Because
it takes too long before your muscles start to be fed, three meals a day are insufficient. The ideal
plan is to have a nutritious breakfast, a snack after two hours, a protein-rich lunch, a third
snack, exercise an hour or so after the third snack, drink a shake after the workout, and then eat
another healthy meal of similar size in the evening. If you want to keep your muscles from
becoming hungry while you sleep, you can eat one extra shake immediately before bed.
3. Resting is when you grow, not working out!
Many males believe that working out increases your muscular mass. WRONG! When you
exercise, you damage your muscles, causing micro-trauma that allows them to develop.
However, if you don’t give your body adequate nourishment and relaxation, you won’t grow at
all and will instead be working against your own interests. In order to give your muscles the time
they need to recover and expand between exercises, you must give them enough downtime.
Therefore, keep in mind that overtraining in the gym will only slow down your progress.
4. Pay close attention to difficult workouts.
Leave that expensive equipment and the abdominal exercises behind. Particularly in the
beginning of training when you need to build muscle all over your body, not just those abs,
chest, and arms that you can see in the mirror, they aren’t as effective. Squats, deadlifts, bench
presses, and overhead presses are among the workouts you must perform. They are the most
effective and use the majority of the muscles in your body!

5. Set objectives.
If you have specific objectives in mind, such as increasing your bench press from 100 to
200 pounds in a year or adding 20 pounds of muscle, it will be easier for you to stay
motivated. Check your progress every month to see whether you’ve put on any weight or
if your bench press has improved. At critical intervals, take measurements of your arms,
chest, and waist to monitor your program’s success.
I genuinely believe that going to the gym and starting to exercise improved my life.
Bodybuilding helps you develop both your physical and mental strength. You will
definitely grow healthier as well as develop a stronger will, greater resolve, and selfconfidence. As a youngster, I used to get sick every winter, but I can’t think of the last
time I was truly sick.
