Despite any lack of results you've had up to this point,you have what it takes to gain muscle, 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 lean 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 lean 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.

The purpose of Build Lean Muscle is to help sort through all that information and give you only what works while steering you away from the hype and the scams so that you can build muscle, burn fat and reach your fitness goals.

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 build lean 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. If you wan to build lean muscle you MUST let your muscles recover from your training sessions.

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.
