5 Reasons Why You Are Skinny And Not Muscular
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.
On the other hand, I come across individuals who don’t look the way they want, and each time they speak their mind, it’s like hearing stories that is the same as before. That’s why I am writing this post, if you are:
* Skinny and think you can’t put on muscle
* Fat and think you can’t lose the weight
* “skinny fat” where you have no brawniness, but you’re just thin…
Then I can guarantee you are this way because of one of these 5 things:
Reason #1: You Don’t Have Specialized Knowledge
* You don’t have any idea on how to build up strength.
* You don’t have any idea on how to lose weight.
* You don’t know how to eat clean
* You just eat take-out food and food out of a box since you don’t know how to cook.
* You don’t know which training program is best.
Knowledge is always the initial step. The primary thing you need to understand is how your body works, how good nutrition and exercise changes the animal - then you realize 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 know-how you need. Though it’s up to you to use it. Knowledge is NOT power, only APPLIED knowledge is power.
Reason No. 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, yet you think it’s “tiring”.
* You make alibis like “I don’t have the time!” though you know how to burn fat.
* You know how to eat healthy, but it’s easier to eat snack 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 fat, but if you never start exercising and eating clean then you’ll never get ANY results. You have to take action. Don’t be afraid of failure, the most successful people realize that their entire 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” as an alternative as to what you want to be
* It doesn’t bother you extremely that you’re this way any longer
* If you truly cared enough, if it worried you enough, you’d change
* You’re HAPPY with the way you look
Being fat or out of shape is considered normal these days. 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 everyone survived on hard physical labor, everyone was in shape and athletic.
You were considered “sickly” if you were skinny and not muscular or ridiculed for being fat. You shouldn’t feel bad about yourself but don’t just say “this is just the way I am”. You can become whatever you want to become and achieve things you never thought you could achieve if you’re sick and tired of your current situation and want to change bad enough.
Fourth Reason: You Believe Gaining Muscle and Burning Fat is difficult
* You accept terms like “hardgainer” and apply them to you
* You don’t get results in 2 weeks, therefore you give up
* 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 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.
Fifth Reason: You Are Not Persevering Enough
* You haven’t said “no matter matter what happens”
* You haven’t said to yourself “failure is not an option”
* You haven’t decided 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
2. Carry it out WHATEVER HAPPENS
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.
