Get Lean, Get Strong, Get Healthy. Be a Warrior!
If you’ve hit the gym long enough, you’ll eventually be faced with a dilemma:
Should you take steroids to increase your muscle building potential?
It’s a questions I’ve wrestled with in the past because I’ve always had a difficult time to put on size as someone with a skinny-fat physique.
Here’s the answer I’ve been able to come up with after given this topic some serious thought:
I’m sure you’ve heard this myth before: does muscle really weight more than fat?
Many people fall victim to this belief thinking that the muscle they gain is much heavier than the fat they have on their body.
Perhaps this is due to you hitting a plateau, stalled at the same weight for several weeks. You begin to think that maybe you’re building muscle while losing fat.
Therefore, since muscle weighs more than fat, it makes sense that the scale is staying the same.
Progress in the gym can be tough. This is especially true if you’re of the skinny-fat type like I’ve always been.
While weight training is the key to transforming your body composition, it isn’t as easy as all these Instagram “naturals” want you to believe (they’re snakes).
Here’s the truth that you must first understand: Progressive Overload is the most important part of any weight lifting program. The routine you choose isn’t nearly as important.
It sounds weird, right? An endomorph hardgainer? Does that even exist?
As a fellow endomorph hardgainer myself, it sucks. Absolutely sucks. I wouldn’t wish this body type on anybody.
But, you got to deal with the hand you’re dealt in life. And life isn’t fair. That’s simply the truth. No amount of whining and blaming God or government or whatever will change this reality.
So you got to suck it up and make the best of what you got. The good news is that you’re not alone here. Like I said, I have the ectomorph hardgainer genetics. I’ll teach you what I’ve learned over the years to help you maximize your muscle building potential.
Do you consider yourself to be skinny fat? Are you going back and forth between a bulk and a cut with hardly any results to show for it?
Have you been trying to build muscle and lose fat for years and years?
Well, that was me! For most of my life, I was the typical skinny-fat. I always weighed around 150-160, but never seemed to put on muscle — just fat.
And when I cut? It was as if all of my years of lifting was for nothing. There wasn’t a lot of muscle underneath my skinny-fat physique.
