6 Muscle-Gaining Tips For Skinny Guys (Thread):

Most dietary advice is geared towards people who are overweight, and need to lose weight.

This WILL NOT work for muscle gain.

You're a skinny guy.

You need a different strategy if you want to pack on the mass.

Here's 6 tips:

#1) Eat Enough Protein, But No More

Protein is essential.

Without enough, you have no hope of gaining muscle. But the problem is that skinny dudes are pounding it down to the point whereby it makes them eat less TOTAL CALORIES.

Which is the major factor here, by the way...

It's incredibly satiating, and because of this one of the biggest pieces of advice I give to guys who want to LOSE weight is:

Eat more protein.

So for you, get enough, but not too much.

0.7-1g of protein per pound of BW is MORE THAN enough.

Next:

#2) Do More Volume On ALL Movements

You're going to want to do as much volume as you can realistically recover from, without injuring yourself.

On compounds AND isolations.

This will be the 'sweet spot' for maximum muscle growth.

This will be 8-20 sets per week, depending on:

The movement.

Squats and deadlifts will be towards the lower end of that range, whereas biceps and triceps movements could well be higher.

So it depends on the 'size' of the movement, number of muscles involved, and CNS activation.

Next:

#3) Eat More Potatoes

So if you're not eating loads of protein, what else should you eat to pack on the size?

More carbs.

And the best source out there (arguably) is potatoes. Get lots of them, and get them in frequently.

Next:

#4) Eat More Oats

For the same reason as above.

Oats are a very quick and easy one too - you'll soon be gaining size with a big bowl of these post-workout.

Next:

#5) Focus On The 8-20 Rep Range

Not because there's anything magical about any particular rep range - there isn't.

It's simply easier and more practical to:

1) Rack up higher volume in less time
2) Keep this volume high, without frying your CNS, or getting injured

Next:

#6) Sleep Like A Beast

You won't gain muscle sleeping <7 hrs per night.

Stress hormones will be higher, testosterone lower, and it's simply a catabolic cocktail that will keep you skinny.

Finally:

If you're looking to get:

- Broader shoulders
- Thicker arms
- A Superman chest
- A stronger bench
- A more masculine physique
