Going From Skinny Guy To Beast Bro

A lot of thin guys try to build muscle and get ripped, but all they manage to do is get skinnier and it looks like their muscles are stretched over their bones. It’s easy for a skinny guy to get tone, but it’s not so easy for him to add the size needed to become a beefcake.

Steps To Going From Scrawny To Buff

If you are thin with very little body fat, you naturally have a high metabolism and you burn enough calories during workouts that you keep your muscles tone, but fail to gain mass. You need to eat much more than usual and workouts can keep you toned while the extra calories will help you get bigger.

Eat a lot. Then eat some more.

The first thing you need to do is stop worrying about counting calories. As long as you maintain your workouts, you can eat pretty much all you want if you are skinny. Depending on how thin you are, there is a certain number of daily calories that you need to maintain your weight.

If you ever hope to become a beefcake, you must go at least 500 calories over that number. Some guys are so thin, and their metabolism is so high, they need as much as 1,000 calories over their daily required intake.

You don’t have to sit down and figure out exactly how many calories you need to consume. You’ll find out whether you are ingesting the proper number of calories when you start gaining pounds. Consuming more calories doesn’t necessarily mean eating more food either.

It’s best to concentrate on foods that contain a high concentration of calories like eggs, various nuts, and olive oil. Adding more of these foods to your meals will give you the extra calories you need without a drastic increase in the amount of food that you eat.

Once you increase your calories, you should increase the amount of protein in your diet. Some will try to stick to a certain amount of protein, but you don’t have to concentrate on numbers here either. Simply continue to consume protein until you notice an increase in muscle mass.

On top of the protein, it’s also important to increase your intake of fats and carbs. Fats will work toward increasing your testosterone levels and I shouldn’t have to tell you how much that will do for your health and vitality. Carbs will give your body glycogen which increases your energy for more intense workouts.

Gaining muscle mass.

Now that you’ve learned how to gain body mass, you need to learn how to gain muscle mass. Believe it or not, you can do this without a gym membership. Pick up something heavy every chance you get, from different positions. It makes no difference what it is because lifting your kids and moving furniture around will give you just as much of a muscle workout as a weight bench.

The more you pick up heavy things, the more your muscles will be under tension. The more positions you lift in, the more muscles will be affected. Be careful not to injure yourself though. The more you lift and the more positions you lift from, the less prone you will be to injury.

Conclusion

It’s as simple as that. Eat until you can’t eat anymore and lift heavy things every chance you get. All the heavy lifting will naturally make you want to eat more. This will feed your muscles so each workout brings you closer and closer to being a beefcake.
