Despite any lack of results you've had up to this point,you have what it takes to build muscle mass, increase your strength and radically transform your body, no matter what your 'skinny guy' genetics!

So many of us take up weight training to reshape our bodies, change our lives, gain muscle, lose fat or excel at a sport. Sadly, most of us never achieve the body we want and deserve, or achieve the sports goals we go after.

We don't build muscle mass the way we want, lose the body fat we want, or turn our 'before' into an 'after'.

Do any of these questions sound familiar?

• How do I build muscle? Low reps? High reps? High Volume? High intensity?
  
  
• What do I eat and when do I eat it?
  
  
• What muscle building supplements should I take?
  
  
• What's the best way to burn fat? Low Intensity Cardio? Interval Training?
  
  
• How many calories should I eat for muscle building purposes? Carbs? Protein? Fat?
  
  

They should. I used to ask them all the time when I started weight training over 15 years ago - trying to build muscle and get in shape. And now I get asked these questions all the time.

There is a ton of fitness and weight training information out there on how to build muscle and burn fat, yet people are as confused as ever. I think all that information is the problem.

Too many conflicting ideas, competing theories and companies competing for your supplement and equipment dollars.

4 Powerful Muscle Building Tips For Gaining Mass

Look, no guy wants to be a skinny, weak, wuss. I know I hated it. It's just not a lot of fun. And despite what some people say, women aren't looking for a sensitive wimp.

So how the heck do you get the muscular look that grabs the respect of guys and the attention of women?

Great question. Most people train completely wrong, don't make any progress and then quit because they think only the super genetically gifted with an unhealthy does of drugs can add any real muscle.

Luckily, this isn't true. You just have to make sure you do the right things in order to pack on pounds of muscle mass.

Here are three of those things you MUST do if you want to gain muscle.

1. Train Heavy

This doesn't mean all your sets are for singles, doubles or triples. It does mean that you should go as heavy as you can, with your sets lasting about 30 seconds.

If you're taking about 3 seconds for each rep (which is a typical speed when lifting "under control", that means 10 reps per set.

2. Shorten Your Training Sessions

Stop training for an hour and a half to two hours. You shouldn't need to train for longer than about 45 minutes and you can do just as well with short, intense, 30 minute workouts. Get in the gym, go hard and get out. Your muscles grow out of the gym, not in it.

3. Progress on the Big Exercises

This means you should be looking to up your intensity and your training poundages on the big exercises like squats, deadlifts, dips, pull ups and shoulder presses.

4. Eat Big

If you're naturally skinny and have trouble packing on any kind of weight, you're going to need to eat. A lot. At least for a period of time.

When I really focused on gaining muscle I had to eat 4,000 to 5,000 calories a day to finally start seeing progress on the scale. Now that I'm older, I don't have to go nearly that high but for awhile I did.

Implement these 4 muscle building tips into your weight training program and start packing on some serious muscle mass.

3 Keys to Help You Build Muscle Fast

One of the key principles mentioned above for building muscle is overload, or progressive resistance.

If you want to gain muscle mass faster you must incorporate muscle overload (progressive resistance) in your weight training program.

Most people realize that progressive overload (adding more weight to your exercises is crucial to your muscle building efforts). But adding more weight isn't always possible and it's not the only way to achieve muscle overload.

Check out these three muscle building overload keys for gaining muscle mass.

You need to progress with your weight training efforts.

If you can bench press 100 pounds for 5 reps now and that's what you can do two years from now, I really doubt you'll add any muscle.

It's also true that once you hit a certain point, it can be very difficult to add weight to your exercises on a consistent basis.

Here are the three ways to incorporate muscle overload (including adding weight):

• Add weight
• Perform more reps in a set with the same weight
• Perform more work within a specific amount of time (or perform the same amount of work in less time)

Most people focus mainly on the first muscle overload option, adding weight. To a lesser extent they use number two by doing sets in a range (say, 8 - 10 reps) and increasing the weight when they hit the upper rep number.

Very few bodybuilders focus on the third option, which is a big mistake.

You can't continuously increase the number of reps you do and the weight you lift. Performing more work in less time gives you another muscle building option that your body isn't used to.

For example, let's say you bench press 150 pounds for three sets of ten reps and you rest 2 1/2 minutes between sets. Instead of trying to add more weight or increase your reps, you could focus on cutting down your rest time between sets.

This is a completely different kind of challenge and is one that may have you focusing more and re-energized for your workouts.

Shorter workouts with higher volume are very effective at building muscle mass. This is one reason that sprinters have bigger muscles than marathon runners. They do a lot more work in less time.

Most people over train by doing too many sets for too many reps, too often and without enough intensity.

By doing more work in less time you eliminate all these negatives in your training. Try lightening the weight you use and reducing the rest between sets over time.
