Do you know these 5 reasons why you are skinny and not muscular?

November 25, 2008

Since back in the day, I no longer have any trouble with regard to my external appearance. For the reason that I’m already into martial arts ever since I was 5 years old. And when I was 12, I already get down to hard-core strength and conditioning routines.

But then again, I meet folks who don’t look the way they want, and whenever they bare their soul, it’s like hearing the same thing again and again. That’s why I am writing this post, if you are:

* Skinny and think you can’t put on muscle

* Obese and sense that you can’t count the calories

* “skinny fat” where you have no muscularity, but you’re just skinny

In that case, I know for certain that you are this way because of one of these 5 things:

Reason No. 1: You Don’t Have Particular Understanding

* You have no idea how to boost strength.

* You have no idea how to watch your weight.

* You don’t have any idea on how to eat nutritious

* You don’t know how to cook, as a result, you barely eat fast food as well as food in a packaged form.

* You don’t know which training program is the finest.

Knowledge is the primary step at all times. The first thing you need to understand is how your body works, how right nutrition and work out transforms the animal – then you learn how to make it do what you want it to do. In your case: change your physique for the better-build muscle and lose fat.

That’s why you’re here. I will give you the knowledge you need. But it’s up to you to apply it. Knowledge is NOT power, only APPLIED knowledge is power.

Reason #2: You Are Lazy

* You know how to build muscle but you don’t want to put in the work.

* You know how to build strength, but then you think it’s “strenuous”.

* You know how to burn fat, but you make excuses like “I don’t have the time!”

* You know how to eat clean, but it’s easier to eat junk food and microwave box food

I’m a big fan of being what I call ambitiously lazy. That is, I find the very best ways (specialized knowledge) to get the maximum results I want in the minimum time. So I get in, get it done, and get out. You have to EARN the right to be lazy.

You can read every book on the planet about building muscle and losing weight, but if you never make a start on working out and eating healthy then you’ll never achieve ANY results. You have to do something. Don’t be afraid of failure, the most successful people realize that their whole life is one big mistake!

Reason No. 3: You Recognize Yourself As “Skinny” or “Fat” or “Not Muscular”

* You think of yourself as “skinny, fat or not muscular” rather than as what you want to be

* It doesn’t bother you a lot that you’re this way at all

* If you really cared enough, if it bothered you enough, you’d change

* You’re AT EASE with your look

Nowadays being overweight and flabby is considered common. It wasn’t always like this. We used to be hunters and if you weren’t in shape-you were dead-end of story. During the industrial age everybody pulled through on hard physical labor, each person was in shape and buff.

You were considered “sickly” if you were lean and not brawny or teased for being overweight. You shouldn’t feel bad about yourself but don’t just say “this is just the way I am”. You can turn into whatever you want to become and achieve things you never thought you could achieve if you’re sick to death of your current situation and want to change bad enough.

Reason #4: You Think Gaining Muscle and Burning Fat is hard

* You accept terms like “hardgainer” and apply them to you

* You don’t get results in 2 weeks, therefore you give up

* You read books and magazines that talk about “battling the bulge” like it’s hard

Building muscle isn’t all that difficult. If you’ve always been lean, try to get strong. Your body HAVE TO adapt by building muscle to help you get stronger. It’s the way your body works.

Losing weight isn’t difficult either. You eat nutritious and you stay vigorous. Anybody who says they can’t get 12 minutes a day 3x per week to go on a diet is dishonest to themselves.

Reason #5: You Aren’t Determined Enough

* You haven’t said “come rain or shine”

* You haven’t advised yourself “failure is not an option”

* You haven’t decided yet that “this is the year I get this sh*t handled!”

To tell the truth, you can build muscle, burn fat, and reshape your body using practically ANY training routine and dietary program. That’s the reason why there’s so many of them out there. The key to success (ANY success) amounts to 2 things:

1. Come to a decision that you’re going to make a start and

1. Do it ANYWAY

I used to train with ways I wouldn’t utilize at of the moment. They are not “proper” though it WORKED since I declined to take failure as an alternative. If you too develop the “do or die” attitude, you can pull off no matter what.

I will give you the know-how – or you can get the drift somewhere. I like to believe that I have the fastest, really intelligent, highly effective means to execute it – yet you can obtain the knowledge you need from any person. In addition, you don’t need to be all that “positive” in your thinking. Simply make a decision and find a way to get it done.
