So you're skinny, it sucks.
That is why I'm writing this quick little guide with some pointers on how to gain muscle mass so you don't have to be such a scrawny fellow.
First I'll discuss the central focus behind gaining muscle, then I'll go over a few techniques to do this.
The main thing to focus on is taking in more calories than you burn.
Now for many people this would mean gaining weight and getting fat.
But most people who are naturally skinny and have trouble gaining weight don't really get fat.
If you are not one of those people, then you need to focus on losing that fat first, then gaining muscle, and that is a whole different topic of discussion.
Anyway taking in more calories than you burn doesn't mean that you can stuff your face with a bunch of junk and gain muscle mass.
You have to eat healthy foods.
Some good ones are your standard meat and potatoes; chicken is really great.
Now for the muscle gaining part: You need to focus on muscle building exercises a little more than cardio, but still integrating cardio into your routine as well.
A simple little workout is to go for a light jog for 20-30 minutes then do some weight lifting for another 30-45 minutes and then go for another 10 minute cool down jog.
I'm not going to go into specific routines in this article because that would take way too long.
But there are lots of places you can find workout and muscle building routines.
So that is the basic concept behind gaining more muscle.
This is a just a general overview of what you should be doing.
I didn't go into much detail here.
