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.
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.)
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.
Can you really build muscle from home, or do you need to train at the gym?
This seems like a common question these days, and in the article below,
Sean Nalewaynj gives us his thoughts on this topic.
He explains that
if done properly, training from home can be as effective as training in
a commercial gym. He also outlines what equipment he recommends if you
plan on building your own home gym.
Sean Nalewanyj is the author of The Truth About Building Muscle,
One of the few muscle building programs that I highly recommend. This
program makes building muscle easy, by virtually eliminating trial and
error. It lays out everything you need to know to build muscle and
increase strength, in a simple, step by step format.
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.
