Six Pack Routine for Skinny Guys

Tuesday, 09 December 2008

Skinny guys often think that it will be challenging if not impossible for them to gain a six pack. Is there a six pack routine that actually works for ectomorphs?

While many people sit and think why would someone who is already skinny be concerned with a six pack abs routine, in reality, many guys at this lighter weight do actually want to gain a tighter and bulkier six pack.

If you are in the process of focusing on building muscle, it is important to remember that your abdominal area is a muscle as well. The same principle applies to the abdominal muscles as does to the rest of your muscles and that is to train them.

 
 

Can Endurance Activities Build Muscle?

Saturday, 20 September 2008

I decided to post an email from a fellow BMGW reader.  He has a very valid question in regards to building muscle using higher repetitions versus heavy weight and low repetitions.  Read my response below... 

Dear Adam:

This is a rather lengthy message and I'll take no offence whatsoever should you
choose to ignore it. On the other hand, you might find it interesting or thought
provoking.

I am not now and never have been a bodybuilder but have recently taken an interest
in subject. This interest was prompted by two factors:
1. I am a puny old and weak ectomorph rapidly getting older and weaker.

2. A recent National Geographic program on the subject of steroids was something of
an eye-opener, particularly in that I'm an ex-pat Torontonian living in the
Philippines where steroids are legal and readily and cheaply available. (Worry not.
I have not yielded to the temptation.)

 

How Women Build Muscle

Most women want to know how to lose weight, not how women build muscle.   If you are one of the few women that wants to build muscle, then read on - I've written this article specifically for you.

The truth of the matter is that many women often shy away from building muscle because they are worried about "bulking up".  Others have attempted to build muscle, but never achieved their desired results.

Many women wonder; Does the lack of testosterone in a woman's body make building muscle next to impossible? 

Although testosterone does play a large role in the muscle building process (which is why men build muscle more easily than women), it does not mean that women cannot easily build muscle.

Although the muscle gains in women will not rival that of their mail counterparts, any woman is capable of building muscle mass.

How to Gain 10 Pounds in 14 Days

Saturday, 31 May 2008

If you want to pack on up to 10 pounds of lean mass in a matter of weeks, naturally, then read on.  I'm about to explain exactly how this can be achieved...

I'll be the first to admit that 10 pounds of mass in only two weeks isn't easy, but it is attainable with some hard work.  It won't all be muscle mass, but at the same time, there should be little fat gained if you follow all of the steps I outline.

Now let's be honest...  For most people starting a mass gain program the goal is simple:  Gain as much lean body mass as possible - as quickly as possible.  Unfortunately, there is a lot of conflicting information out there that can make it a much more difficult task than it really is. 

So what we are going to do here is keep things simple and get back to basics to make this work.

In this article I'm going to outline the exact steps you need to take to pack on up to 10 pounds of mass in only 14 days.  There is nothing complicated here, it's all simple stuff.  You just have to follow each step.
