Gaining a few pounds of muscle for a slim guy is no easy feat. In fact, it can often seem like a losing battle – no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to beat your lean genetics and get some muscle on your bones.
So you might be surprised to learn that one of the main reasons lean people struggle in their efforts to build muscle is that they are following the wrong type of training plan for their body type.
A quick glance at any bodybuilding magazine will show you a lot of “tips”, but is it right for you? These guys often cater to pro bodybuilders who are already HUGE and have probably never struggled to gain muscle. You must follow a bodybuilding training plan designed for lean men, which will maximize your chances of success in building muscle.
Here’s a sample skinny guy workout routine that you can start using right away, but first I want to mention a few things that are critical to the success of any skinny guy workout. These are:
- Focus on multi-joint compound exercises
- Use free weights instead of machines
- Make sure the weight is heavy enough to allow for 6-10 reps
- Training no more than 3-4 times per week
- Adequate rest and recovery
- Train with intensity
- Track your progress
- Change your workouts every 4 weeks
- Be disciplined and follow an excellent daily high calorie nutrition plan, spread over 6 meals a day.
By making the above tips a part of your daily routines, you will see much faster muscle growth and better overall health. The key to any skinny-type workout plan is to use compound exercises, as they require multiple muscle groups to work at the same time, which means you can lift more weights, suffer less fatigue, and make your workouts longer. rapid.
Skinny boy workout plan
Dead weight 5-6 + 1-2 reps for 3 + 1 maximum series
Bench press 5-6 + 1-2 reps for 3 + 1 maximum series
Super Established Shoulder Press with Upright Row 6-8 reps for 2 sets
Horizontal row 5-6 + 1-2 reps for 3 + 1 maximum series
Incline Curls Super Seated with Dips 6-8 reps for 3 sets
Shrugs shoulders 8-10 reps for 3 sets
The skinny type workout routine above shouldn’t be done two days in a row (always allow at least a full day of rest between workouts to maximize your body’s recovery time and allow muscles to develop). Muscle growth occurs when we are rested, not when we are active, which is why rest is just as important as exercising.
Beginners may miss out on the Max Sets I have included as they are for slightly more advanced people who want to break their muscle building plateau. Also, beginners can ignore “supersets” (perform two exercises in a row).
