5 Reasons Why You Are Skinny And Not Muscular

Posted on November 14, 2008 @ 4:41 am

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 I meet people who don’t look the way they want, and every time they open their mouth, it’s like hearing the same stories over and over again. That’s why I am writing this post, if you are

* Scrawny and feel you can’t transform your body into a strong, muscular, powerful specimen…

* Fat and think you can’t lose the weight

* “skinny fat” where you have no beefiness, but you’re just lean…

In that case, I know for certain that 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 have any idea on how to lose 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 best.

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.

Second Reason: You Are Lazy

* You know how to build muscle but you don’t want to take steps.

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

* You make alibis like “I don’t have the time!” though you know how to burn fat.

* 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 unrealistically lazy. That is to say, I look for the very best ways (specialized knowledge) to achieve the extreme results in the minimum time. Thus, I get in, get it done, and stop. You should be WORTHY of 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 #3: You Accept 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 actually cared enough, if it concerned you enough, you’d change

* You’re AT EASE with your 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 thin and not beefy or laughed at for being flabby. You shouldn’t feel bad about yourself but don’t just say “this is just the way I am”. You can turn out to be whatever you want to become and achieve things you never thought you could achieve if you’re fed up of your present 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, hence you stop

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

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

Losing fat isn’t hard either. You eat clean and you stay active. Anyone who says they can’t find 12 minutes a day 3x per week to lose fat is lying to themselves.

Fifth Reason: You Are Not Persevering Enough

* You haven’t said “hell or high water”

* You haven’t said to 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. 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.
