Follow Along As I Get Back In Shape
It’s been a while since I’ve updated this blog. I can’t believe that I started this site over 4 years ago now. Believe it or not, this site is seen by something like 600 people every single day! I’ve let a huge resource and a massive source of accountability completely go to waste. Oh well… No better time than now to jump back in to it.
I’ve actually become somewhat fanatical about health again recently. So why not get this blog up and running again and let everyone else share my journey.
This post will act as a bit of an intro to what my goals are and my next few posts will dive in deeper as to the exact action steps that I’m taking to achieve my goals.
My current stats:
202 lbs – as of today 7/11/2011 (Free slurpee day but I’ll resist!)
Right Bicep – 14.5″
Left Bicep – 14″
Waistline – 39″
Hips – 40″
Right Thigh – 21″
Left Thigh – 21″
So that’s where I stand right now. I’m going on vacation in New Zealand in October. My goal is to get down to 180 lbs and about a 35″ waistline by October 1st. I figured that publicly announcing this on a blog that gets seen by 600 people a day should be pretty good motivation to make it happen.
My current diet follows the 4 hour body diet from Tim Ferriss’s latest book (future post to come about this diet).
My current workout routine consists of mostly kettlebell workouts and cardio. I’m trying to shrink right now. After my vacation, I’ll put my focus heavily on muscle building.
That’s where I stand right now. Please sure your thoughts, comments, and encouragement in the comments section below.
Bodybuilding Workout Program – Build Muscle Workout Plan
Gone are the days when people had all the misconceptions about the effects of gym, many of the metropolitan city inhabitants have found gym as a good way to burn their unwanted calories.
Workouts in the gym are being strictly done to build up muscles as muscles always make a guy look bigger then he normally is.
But in a hurry to build up muscles, people nowadays end up having supplements or steroids.
Though steroids and supplements allows for fast growth of muscles, it is not recommended in the long run as it can have detriment health effects.
Below is a scheduled workout plan that lays out the muscle building exercises that can be followed for effective results.
The base of any workout is the point where you start from if you have a strong foundation, you will go the distance. The first aim of any newbie to body building is build your initial muscle mass.
It takes a lot of effort to the new comer to actually build up the mass. High protein and calorie rich food will do the job for you.
After you have build up some mass, the next stage is strength training which builds muscles that last.
Following a 5 day week would also be better as your muscles obtain the required rest before some iron is pumped into them again.
Here is a small schedule that might help you
Monday:
Squats
Dead lifts
Standing and calf raise
Leg raises
Inclined sit ups
Tuesday :
Inclined barbell bench press
Seated dumbbell shoulder press
Bicep cable curls
Tricep’s push downs
Bent over and dumbbell lateral raises:
Thursday :
Leg press
Leg curls
Wide grip pull downs
Hyper extensions
Pull down abb crunches
Friday:
Incline dumbbell bench press
Dumbbell side lateral raises
Bicep dumbbell curls
Tricep push downs
Barbell upright rows
Sunday:
Incline dumbbell bench press
Bent over dumbbell lateral raises:
Hyper extensions
Keep records of the exercises, weights, sets, and reps that you do. You should try to beat what you did for your previous workout. With the squat, dead lift, and incline barbell bench press try to add 5 lbs. to the bar each week and do the same number of sets and reps.

Can the Skinny Guy Build Muscle?
Have you marveled at other people’s ability to just look at a barbell, eat a diet of junk and add inches to their arms while you struggle through hours upon hours of gym sessions mixed with weight gain supplements an get precisely nowhere ending up with the same skinny frame as before? Do you wonder in frustration, can the skinny guy build muscle? Well if you do not understand what it means to be a skinny guy then you may never realize the answer can be yes, the skinny guy can build muscle!
The basic problem a lot of skinny guys have is that they train themselves in ways that imitate what successful body builders do. This sounds logical but there is a flaw in the thinking because many successful bodybuilders and the entire bodybuilding industry are more geared towards people with a vastly different body type.
People with a skinny body type are called Ectomorphs, they have a very high metabolism which allows them to stay skinny which can be a cause of jealousy for many non-ectomorphs who find it hard to lose fat but find it easier to build muscle. Endomorphs or Skinny guys build muscles in a very different way because their metabolism hinders muscle growth as their genetics come into play. Taking weight gain supplements are useless because the body metabolizes it too quickly for it to have any real effect and even the way that you lift weights and do exercise must be different to how other body types train.
Along with trying to train like a Mesomorph or Endomorph (the other body types), ectomorphs who follow what the bodybuilding industry usually say also subject themselves to diets that are not designs for their fast metabolism leading to health issues and injury from incorrect body type training. So if you are a skinny guy, build muscle the right way and you can put on weight just like anyone else.
