Weight Training Exercises For Skinny Guys

Skinny guys have different weight gaining and muscle building requirements than most regular and big guys and for these reason you can not do the same type of exercise that the ladder individuals do if they expect to get good results.

The skinny guy generally has a higher metabolism so hitting those weights is going to consume even more of those desperately calories you need to build muscle mass. This means that you need to do a moderate set of lifting weights. What you want to do is do is push yourself to the max for ten to twelve sets with enough weight to make a difference.

Most other guys normally have to do isolated exercises on their biceps, triceps, legs, chest... You on the other hand should concentrate your efforts on compound lifts which includes squats, bench presses, deadlifts, rows and military presses.

Limit you cardio-workout, two to three 20 minute sessions per week is what you should concentrate on. Doing more will burn those precious calories you need to build muscle.

As stated in the my previous article 4 Muscle Building Tips, REST is an essential part to building muscle. During rest the body can repair the muscle breakdown that occurs during weight lifting.
