Hey guys,
It’s Chad here once again.
Let me tell you what I did right before I started writing this short video. A video that’ll show you without a doubt, how to build lean muscle faster than ever…
I was shopping, online.
I discovered a new site that caters to high-end shoppers (namely men). It’s an awesome site. It’s also one that I’d never have been able to afford even a year ago…
It wasn’t long ago that I was struggling to make ends meet. It cost more for me to live than what I earned.
I don’t mean to place so much importance on money. It’s not the be all end all by any means. But a lack of money, much like a lack of muscle, can cripple a man…
As Napoleon Hill wrote, “When a man is down and out on the street, unable to get any job at all, something happens to his spirit which can be observed in the droop of his shoulders, the set of his hat, his walk and his gaze. He cannot escape a feeling of inferiority among people with regular employment even though he knows they are definitely not his equals in character, intelligence or ability.”
We don’t have to be on the street to experience this. We can be unemployed, broke, or even skinny. The inferiority was the biggest obstacle I experienced BEFORE I ever got the balls to start my own business.
This inferiority didn’t come from a lack of money in my case (or in yours), it comes from a lack of confidence.
Today, sitting here buying a nice watch online isn’t the result of me becoming a smarter, more money-savvy person, it’s a direct result of me building lean muscle.
Today, I’ll tell you about the specific workout – and nutrition plan – that helped me gain all of that muscle that spurred me on to success in every other area of my life.
In yesterdays video I talked to you about combining exercises to create bigger sets. Today, I’ll tell you why it’s so vital to do this…
… These larger sets shorten the length of a workout, and create more lactic acid build up in our muscles. More lactic acid creates more acidity in our muscles, which raises the Human Growth Hormone (or HGH) levels in our body.
HGH and Testosterone are the two most powerful muscle building hormones that exist. With them, we’re unstoppable. Without them, were defenseless.
In the skinny guy muscle building solution that helped me gain 32 pounds of lean muscle, in 32 weeks, we optimized the lactic acid build up, in an optimal workout time of 30-45 minutes. By doing this we don’t experience the release of the muscle BURNING hormone: cortisol.
Skinny guys also need to use the right training split. This is where bodybuilding has KILLED the progress of the skinny guy for years.
Bodybuilding brought the rise of the body part split. That is, training 1 muscle group per workout for a total of 5-6 training days in a week. Among other things, this limits the build up of lactic acid in our bodies because we’re only building lactic acid in one muscle group at a time.
The muscle building solution that helped me gain all that muscle – as well as literally hundreds of other skinny guys like you and me – uses an upper lower split where we focus on our upper body in one day, then our lower body in another. This way we’re able to create more overall lactic acid, we’re able to have 72 hours rest (optimal recovery time) or more in between our training for each muscle group. We’re also able to hit each muscle group twice a week, with optimal recovery between each workout (almost doubling the results we’ll get otherwise).
We need to use varied cadences to maximize the tension we’re placing on our muscles as well. What this also does is bust plateaus. More than anything, a plateau can be broken through changes in our ECCENTRIC cadences. By focusing more not he eccentric contraction, as well as changing up the rep and set counts, we’re guaranteeing consistent gains.
This is how I gained a pound a week for 32 weeks. Which is pretty much unheard-of… Especially since I didn’t use any illegal drugs.
Sounds like a lot of stuff to cover when creating the perfect program, doesn’t it? But that’s why I’m doing all the work for you… More on that in a bit.
Now, for nutrition.
Nutrition can be one of the most frustrating aspects for a skinny guy to gain lean muscle mass. If we don’t know specifically what to eat and how much of it we should be eating, we’re not going to gain as much muscle as we could – if we gain any at all.
This is why we need a meal plan.
We can’t simply eat as much food as possible. We’ll get fat. Understanding exactly WHAT to eat and WHEN to eat it takes all the guessing away. No wandering around our kitchen trying to figure out something to eat. We KNOW what we’re eating.
Eat the wrong thing in just one meal and it could mean lower energy levels, a diminished ability to focus, and a diminished ability to recruit FAT CELLS to burn. Instead burning muscle. Diet can be daunting.
So, now let me tell you about the solution…
A program that has the best split for skinny guys.
That focuses on the best exercises for skinny guys, that are done at the best cadences and tempos.
A program that tells skinny guys exactly what to eat and when to eat it to build massive amounts of muscle, while also burning fat.
The same exact program that helped me gain 32 pounds of ripped muscle in 32 weeks.
The very same program that absolutely kicked my ass in the gym everyday. If there’s anything wrong with it, it’s that it’s a really hard program. It’s tough. You need to work hard. It MAKES you work hard… Which is, as I’ve said time and time again, the only way to guarantee your muscles gains.
This program is called the PowerHowse Challenge. It’s the best muscle building program for skinny guys because it’s created by a former skinny guy (me), who spent 8 years researching the best ways for ectomorphic types to gain muscle mass.
It’s been proven time and time again to be the most effective program specifically for young skinny guys.
