Skinny Guy Workout - A Workout For Skinny Guys
It's a long road for skinny guys to build muscle.
We're born with an ectomorph frame and a metabolism than burns hotter and faster than a forest fire with a 30 mph tailwind.
Not to mention when we workout, it feels twice as heavy and hard for us to lift the same weight that the big guys do.
Truth is...
it is.
Sorry but it's just how it works.
It also works to our advantage, when we do gain muscle and build size on our lanky frame that we look much better than the big bulky guys.
So here's a skinny guy workout.
Based on a 4 day per week training schedule.
Day 1.
Back - Chest - Biceps.
Chose 3 exercises for each body part.
Complete 3 to 4 sets for each exercise.
Another great way to gain more muscle faster is to superset (complete one exercise immediately after another) You can actually finish a workout like this and all of them by supersetting back and chest together.
You'll double your volume of training all while cutting the training time in half.
Day 2 - Rest Day 3.
Legs, Shoulders, Triceps.
With all the variations of workouts I'll leave the type of lifts up to you.
But for more detail of combining these can do is this: By training legs with any body part, you will be activating the body's largest muscle.
In turn you'll also be producing massive amounts of natural testosterone.
When you begin your shoulder routine you'll pump the naturally released testosterone into your shoulder muscles, helping them grow.
Day 4.
Rest Day 5.
Abs- Chest - Back A fun way to train these groups is to Bench then superset with a back exercise, followed directly by an ab exercise.
Complete 3 to 4 exercises by supersetting each one.
You'll be done in less than 45 minutes and have a killer workout.
Day 6.
Rest and or light cardo and stretching Day 7.
Abs - Shoulders - Biceps You can always mix up the combination of muscles to train but by following this plan you'll hit all of your body parts twice per week except for legs.
You can certainly chose to train your legs twice per week, but they usually take longer to recover and it's not always fun limping around on sore legs 7 days per week! Ultimately varying your workouts are critical to building size and strength.
Doing the same thing over and over obviously gets boring and it won't help skinny guys gain quality muscle.
It's also VERY important that you include a complete nutrition plan to any of your workout and fitness goals.
Working out is only 20% of the game, the other 80% of your fitness results are from your nutrition.
