Skinny to Muscle – What You Need to Know About Skinny Bodybuilding

Hi and Welcome to Skinny To Muscle!

jamesmclainMy name is James McLain and if you are sick of being skinny and are finding it really hard to gain weight and muscle mass then i know your pain. I was once what the bodybuilding industry calls a ‘hardgainer‘. An ectomorph body type with a super fast metabolism that seemed designed to stop me gaining fat, but also gaining any real muscle definition either.

I tried everything! Every supplement, every stupid gadget, every bit of half baked advice from guys who had no idea what it was to be a skinny guy; nothing worked and i felt like a loser. For so many guys this is the end of their skinny bodybuilding endeavors but if there is one thing thing I am good at it is being stubborn.

I took the plunge and started trying to learn about bodybuilding … and found some things that shocked me!

This website really opened my eyes about skinny bodybuilding…

After knowing these things it started to become easier. I knew what not to do, i knew how my body worked and perhaps most importantly i had a plan. Here are 4 things that really drove home how us skinny guys have been lied to and conned by the bodybuilding industry that love the cash of hardgainers.

1. Bodybuilding magazines are big glossy advertisements for drug programs. They tell you to “train hard” but make “hard training” impossible by prescribing 12-24 sets per body part. You can only build muscle with this kind of volume if you’re using drugs to speed up your recovery.
2. Supplements totally unnecessary unless you have hit a 90% threshold in your training, nutrition and lifestyle. Even when you do reach this stage they may only give an extra 1-2% extra lean muscle mass. They can not work miracles as they want us to believe.
3. The human body can only manufacture 1-2 pounds of 'dry muscle' every month. This gives storage space for water and glycogen which amounts to about an extra 3-4 pounds of 'lean muscle mass'. What this means is without drugs it is physiologically impossible to gain more than about 12-24 pounds of muscle a year which is vastly different to what the average bodybuilding magazine will tell you.
4. It was not only me that was falling into the trap of listening to guys who did not have my body type. Skinny hardgainers looked up the guys with naturally good muscle building physiques and took their advice even though they didn't know what they were talking about either! Worst of all, the people trying to sell you supplements and drugs encourage this to get a steady stream of money from your pockets with promises of a better body but with no backup.

Think about it. Would you take money advice from a guy who inherited a fortune? Would you take wise investment advice from a guy who got lucky from winning the lottery? Yet I, like so many other kept listening for the easy answers.

Things changed once i started listening to people who actually knew how to go from skinny to muscle fast. I found some excellent advice online from a guide called the No-Nonsense Muscle Building Guide and boy was I sick of nonsense so this caught my eye! I was skeptical of course as i was a bitter and jaded hardgainer fool but decided to give it a try and the results were so impressive I have become a huge fan.

From these beginnings I went from 136 pounds to 173 pounds and became a personal trainer completely changing my physique, my lifestyle and my outlook on life. I am by no means a body builder but I am bigger and more ripped than i have ever been.

I set up Skinny to Muscle to give some advice to skinny guys who are having trouble gaining weight and to hopefully get the right information to those who are looking for it before the bodybuilding industry tries to indoctrinate you into their way of thinking.
