How does a skinny guy gain weight and muscle? Well the answer lies in food and exercise with a little help from the supplement manufacturers. Here when we say ‘supplements’ do not for a second thin that we refer to steroids. In fact, we discourage the use of any supplement that has performance enhancing and mass building substances as part of its ingredients. There is a purely natural way to go about building weight and muscle – and this is the healthiest way too.

To begin with it is important ot ascertain why our skinny guys is skinny? It is also important to know how much weight he should gain in a given time. So, to begin let our skinny guy consult a physician who might run some tests to determine the cause of his skinniness. One of the leading causes of people being skinny is’ hyperthyroidism’. Here the thyroid glands in the neck are over active producing excessive amounts of hormones increasing the metabolism rate to such an extent that it is virtually impossible to gain weight. The doctor will first ascertain this condition, or any other, and bring it under control before our skinny guy can being a weight gaining routine.

Any one can put on some weight by eating as much junk food as possible in a day. This is not our goal however. Because eating all kinds of food will definitely assist in weight gain but in al the wrong places and in all the wrong proportions. So a scientific approach is necessary.

Exercise is the answer. If the doctor has been kind enough to prescribe some weight gain supplements it is all the better for our guy. Then starts the exercise. Begin with free hand exercises for the first two weeks working the arms, shoulders and chest muscles. These free hand exercises should be performed imagining that there are actual weights in each hand and breathing in while lifting and breathing out while relaxing. Breathing is very important as is concentrating on the muscle being exercised. Within the first tow weeks there will be a visible change in the body. These same exercises will then be performed with actual weights that are comfortable for the individual.

A good well balanced meal should be eaten at least three hours before any exercise and the best time to exercise is in the evening at dusk. The reason for this is that the muscles develop when we are sleeping and research has proven that two hours of exercise three hours before sleeping at night returns best results.

Make out sets of exercises (it does not matter what exercise one chooses) as long as weight gain in proper proportion is required. It is important to bring up the mass to weight ratio before beginning to delve into muscle building. So work those muscles in the arms, shoulders, back, legs and stomach for two hours every evening three hours after meals and watch them blow up and make anyone want to begin giving them shape with different muscle building routines to get that desired shape not just weight.
