How To Bulk Up Fast As A Skinny Guy | My Complete Guide

hi i'm joe as many of you know my whole life i've always been skinny like really skinny and over the last several years i've tried literally everything to try and get bigger every diet plan every workout plan some stuff worked and some really didn't but now i'm here not the biggest guy in the world but 30 kilos heavier than the guy on the left you see i know first hand how hard it is to walk up as a skinny guy so in this video i want to share with you everything that worked for me this

is my ultimate guide for skinny guys trying to bulk up okay so this video is going to be split up into three parts diet training and other let's start with the most important diet we're skinny guys we obviously need to gain weight in order for us to do that we need to be in a calorie surplus but i know firsthand as a skinny guy this is extremely hard and the reason why is because one we have the highest metabolism ever and number two our appetites suck so while it's not easy here are my best tips

to getting the calories in first calorie dense meals such as pesto pasta this bowl of pesto pasta here has 1200 calories in imagine you get one of these down you every night burgers ben and joey's even pizzas now i know what you're probably thinking joe surely i should get my calories from healthy nutritious foods like chicken rice and broccoli in an ideal world yes that'd be great but i know how hard it is i tried to bulk up the clean way only healthy meals but the problem with that is these foods aren't as calorie dense

so you need to eat higher volumes of them and my appetite just couldn't do that so i'm not saying don't eat healthy i'm just saying don't restrict yourself if you need a pizza to get the calories down you eat a goddamn pizza tip number two for getting the calories in liquid calories this is a game changer you see drinking 1000 calories is a hell of a lot easier than eating 1 000 calories let me introduce you to the phaser shake this is a high calorie shake i made a couple years ago it contains 1 000

calories here are the ingredients if you want to make it yourself i created this shake a while back and honestly it saved me i just took it with me on the bus to school most days but if i was ever not hungry and i needed calories in me i just drank one of these shakes tip number three protein this is obviously so important for the gym and the general rule of thumb is you want to be getting a grammar protein per pound of body weight for example i weigh 176 pounds now so i want to

get about 176 grams of protein in me a day okay okay we have the meals we have the high calorie shakes and we know how much protein to get in but we still have the problem of having a appetite i personally used to just chuck half my food in the bin because i got way too full up so here's my tips to increase the new appetite tip number one a very very simple one drink a lot of water if you want to eat more you need to train your stomach to expand drinking water does that

it expands to stomach meaning you can physically get more food inside of you tip number two for increasing your appetite a five minute timer now let me explain when you eat most of the time you have distractions such as your mobile phone a tv books etc this results in you eating your meals slower the slower it is to eat the more time the brain has to realize how much food it's consuming and then it's going to tell your body that it's full up but if you cut out all your distractions and just purely focus on

getting your meal down as fast as possible you can eat more before your brain starts to realize that it's getting full so for your meals put your headphones on get a banging tune on and then set a five minute timer for those five minutes you are focusing on nothing but purely getting the food in your body this sounds weird but honestly it helped me massively that's pretty much it for diet if you do want some more ideas for high calorie foods i've made tons of videos on it and i'll leave the links to them in

the description let's go on to training next the common mistake i see guys do is they run something called the bow split this is where you split your workouts into only one muscle group procession for example monday chest tuesday back wednesday legs thursday shoulders friday arms you see only one muscle group each session and the reason this sucks is because it's restricting you to only training each muscle group only once a week compared to if you did something like a full body workout split three days a week you'll train each muscle group three times in

a week instead of just once so if you're doing the bro split please stop now when you actually get into the gym for your training you want to be doing a lot of heavy compound lifts you know like squatting benching deadlifting all of that sort of stuff and then mitch with that you also want to do a bit more lighter hypertrophy stuff like bicep curling tricep extensions etc for complete beginner i'd recommend the program i created but if you want a free one this program is amazing as well it's a three day a week full

body split which we mentioned is great and it prioritizes getting stronger on the big lifts so a lot of squatting benching deadlifting pressing and rowing and then at the end it also has its isolation work like bicep curls face pulls and don't be afraid to add exercises that you enjoy into the split now without a doubt the most important part about training is prioritizing something called progressive overload please research into this as it's so important and you'll make exponential gains put it simply it's where you gradually increase the workload on your lift so every session

you go in you want to put more on the bar than you did the previous session i'm gonna leave a lot of links in the description to great videos explaining it fully but please look at them now finally to conclude the training section i want to speak about rest times don't think you need to have very short rest times to make better gains that's not true at all on your big compound lifts like squatting benching deadlifting you want to be having about three to five minutes between each share and then for more lighter hypertrophy movements

like tricep extensions for example aim for about a minute between each set okay finally we're going to move on to the third topic other this is basically where i just go over some general tips and we'll start with supplements unlike what you may think supplements aren't necessary at all but in some cases they can help out a little bit these are the only supplements i'd recommend creatine protein powder protein bars and for those skinny guys a high quality weight gainer shake a second general point is about sleep your diet can be perfect your training can

be phenomenal and you can be taking all the supplements in the world but this is completely useless if you aren't sleeping enough my general rule of thumb is try and get at least eight hours a night that is my conclusive guide to bulking up as a skinny guy i really hope this video helped cheers for watching guys thanks for watching the video if you enjoyed i'd really appreciate it if you could hit the like button and maybe also consider subscribing and lastly if you want to get any supplements like protein powder creatine pre-workout head over
