5 Reasons Why You Are Skinny And Not Muscular
I've never had to worry about how I look. I've been training in martial arts since I was 5. I started doing hard-core strength and conditioning routines since I was 12 years old.
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 beefiness, but you're just lean...
Then I can guarantee you are this way because of one of these 5 things:
First Reason: You Lack Specialized Knowledge
* You don't know how to build strength.
* You don't know how to lose fat.
* 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 greatest.
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 understanding you need. Yet it's up to you to utilize 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 nutritious, but then it's easier to eat convenience food and food in a packaged form
I'm a huge fan of being what I call idealistically lazy. In other words, I seek the very best methods (specialized knowledge) to gain the greatest results I want in the smallest time. For this reason, I get in, get it through, and quit. You must DESERVE the right to be lazy.
You can read every book on the planet about building muscle and losing fat, but if you never start exercising and eating nutritious then you'll never get ANY results. You have to go for it. Don't be afraid of failure, the most successful people realize that their entire life is one big mistake!
Reason #3: You Accept Yourself As "Skinny" or "Fat" or "Not Muscular"
* You think of yourself as "skinny, fat or not muscular" instead of as what you want to be
* It doesn't bother you much that you're this way anymore
* If you truly cared enough, if it worried you enough, you'd change
* You're COMFORTABLE with your appearance.
Being weighty and unfit in this day and age is considered usual. 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 each and everyone survived on hard physical labor, everybody was in shape and on top form.
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 pertain them to you
* You don't get results in 2 weeks, hence you stop
* You follow books and magazines that touch on "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 fat isn't tough either. You eat healthy and you stay active. Anyone who says they can't find 12 minutes a day 3x per week to count the calories is untruthful to themselves.
Fifth Reason: You Are Not Persevering Enough
* You haven't said "hell or high water"
* You haven't told yourself "failure is not an option"
* You haven't made up your mind yet that "this is the year I get this sh*t handled!"
The truth is: You can build muscle, burn fat, and reshape your body using just about ANY exercise routine and nutritional program. That's the reason why there's so many of them out there. The key to success (ANY success) boils down to 2 things:
1. Make up your mind you're going to do something and
1. Do it ANYWAY
I used to train with methods I wouldn't make use right away. They're not "proper" but it WORKED because I turned down in taking failure as an option. If you too develop the "do or die" attitude, you can attain whatever.
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.
