Understand your body type.
Most skinny guys are naturally ectomorphs, which makes it difficult for them to put on more size. Additionally, ectomorphs tend to have a high metabolism which means they quickly burn off any fat and muscle gains from any exercise that they do. In most cases, ectomorphs need to focus on consuming more healthy calories, lifting heavier weights and reducing their aerobic activity until they have achieved the size that they want to achieve.
Break down your muscle by lifting heavy weights.
The key focus for any skinny guy is to get more strength so they can lift heavier weights for longer. This will increase the tension on the muscle and it will break down the muscle so it will build new tissue, thus making the person stronger and appear more muscular. It is important that the correct lifting technique, combined with suitable equipment in your gym, is implemented in order to break down and develop the muscles correctly.
Nutrition is important.
What you consume will help or hinder your efforts to transform your body. Most ectomorphs need to eat more, but rarely feel hungry. Without consuming more, the body’s muscles won’t grow.Ectomorphs will need to consume a protein and carbohydrate heavy diet so they can add more size to their body.Ectomorphs may need to consume a diet, which has 45% protein, 45% carbohydrates and 10% fats. These macros can be adjusted as you approach your ideal body size and customise your macros to be more protein heavy so you can get more body definition.
Rest is important.
In order for your muscle to grow, you need your muscles to rest. By working your muscles too much, you won’t give them any opportunity to repair and to build new muscle. That’s why it is important to give your muscle groups at least 1-2 days rest in between workouts.If you would like to find out more about transforming your body, get in touch with the guys at Little Bloke Fitness who can recommend the best gym equipment and routines that will help you achieve your physical goals.
