How to Get Buff Fast: The Skinny Guy Edition

Are you tired of flexing and seeing your arms deflate? Getting big muscles and a gleaming confidence is possible for anyone, even the small skinny guys. It takes hard work and dedication; there is no easy solution on how to get buff fast. You WILL spend hours every week working out. You will have to eat more calories if you want to see results. The small sacrifices it takes for building a great physique is worth it!

Skinny guys are skinny because they do not eat enough calories! There is no doubt if you start eating more calories than you burn you will gain weight. Many guys will say, "Well I eat all day and I still can't gain any weight!" The solution is finding a way to eat more. The best way to track this is by counting your calories every day. Calorie counting does not have to be difficult, just make sure you estimate within a small margin of error and read the back of labels of what you are eating. Piece of cake!

I recommend planning a diet high in Carbohydrates if you are seeking rapid weight gain. Carbohydrates are easy to find, inexpensive and are great fuel for workouts. Some recommendations for easy Carbohydrate sources include whole grain pastas, bagels and oatmeal. Protein is also essential to building muscle; make sure to consume at least 1g of protein per KG of body weight.

When planning your diet the single most important factor is the amount of calories you are eating. Now there is no single correct amount of calories to eat in order to gain weight. Everyone's metabolism is different so you must monitor how fast you are gaining weight. Most men will generally gain weight eating 3,000-4,000 calories a day but that depends on your metabolism.

If you want to get buff fast you must use compound exercises. Compound exercises are movements that use multiple muscles with resistance. In order to make the best of these exercises you must strive to life challenging weight. If the weight is not heavy enough you will not be effective in building muscle mass. Try to aim for a weight which you can lift for 5-12 reps for 3 sets. (Examples of compound lifts: Bench press, Squats, Dead lifts, Pull-ups.)

Try to schedule 3-4 lifting days per week preferably with at least 1 day of rest in between. This will allow your muscles time to heal and rebuild before the next workout. When you are trying to gain mass less is more, so your workouts should not exceed 45 minutes.

Workout Plans for Muscle Mass:

Monday: Bench Press, Dips, Skull Crushers

Wednesday: Pull-ups, Bent over Rows, military press

Friday: Squats, Dead lifts, leg press

Calories: 3000-4000 daily

Following this plan will allow you to get buff fast as long as you stick to it. When it comes to exercise dedication and consistency is the key. Make a chart and mark down every day you follow this plan for 21 days, this will allow you to build a habit and increase your chances for success. Remember getting an amazing physique is worth the investment for both your health and confidence!
