How to Put on Muscle For Skinny Guys

How to Put on Muscle For Skinny Guys

Article by Paul Duncan









Knowing how to put on muscle, even for skinny guys does not have be complicated or hard.

Even if you think that you are a hardgainer, it is totally possible for you to get muscles fast. It is just a question of following the right muscle building principles.

First of all let’s try and understand what a hardgainer is. In general terms a hardgainer is somebody who finds it difficult to gain muscle mass. This can be down to a number of reasons.

Body Type Can Affect Gaining Muscle

First of all it can depend on your body type. If you are thin with thin wrists and ankles, you would be considered an Ectomorph. An ectomorph finds it difficult to gain weight because he will generally have a fast metabolism which burns calories very quickly. People that are overweight will often be envious of an ectomorph, but it can be very frustrating for an ectomorph.

Muscle Building Diet

It is imperative that a skinny guy eats a lot of food. This is vital because your metabolism burns calories quickly. Most skinny guys that want to put on muscle eat nowhere near the amount of food that they need. Keep in mind that a pound of weight equates to 3500 calories. So if you want to gain a couple pounds of weight each week, you will need to consume an extra 7000 calories a week.

Muscle Building Program

This is often the biggest problem for skinny guys who want to put on muscle. Many guys buy the muscle building magazines, and try to follow the routines in them. This is a massive mistake.

Bodybuilders have genetics which are the exception, not the rule. These genetics help them to gain muscle much more easily than the vast majority of us. It is suicidal for any hardgainer to train in the way that professional bodybuilders do.

Look, your ability to grow muscle will depend on how long it takes to recover from a workout. For a hardgainer it is imperative that he gets plenty of rest. This means at least 3 days rest between workouts. You have to understand that the actual training does not induce muscle growth. All it does is break down your muscle. It is the rest and food that you give your body which enables muscles to grow. Ignore this and you will never gain muscle.

Do not get disillusioned if you are a skinny guy and have problems putting on muscle. Building muscle fast is all about training smart, and having the right nutrition. Even the most skinniest guys can can dramatically change their bodies pretty quickly by following the right principles.

Golf Tips to Measure your Results on the Practice Range

Golf Tips to Measure your Results on the Practice Range

Practice is important in any sport and golf is no exception. To really improve your game you must spend time fine tuning your swing. But many golfers simply “hit balls” on the practice range without checking to see if they are improving. Here are some tips to help measure the effectiveness of your practice sessions on the driving range.

First, you must identify your objective on the range. Some people are trying to fix a slice or a hook while others are trying to add distance to their shots. If you do not know what your objective is you will not know if you have achieved it. You may not have a noticeable flaw to correct but you need to train your muscles so you can make good shots consistently. So hitting consistently is your objective in that case. Just make sure you have a clear idea of your purpose.

Second, it does not matter too much if you quit slicing or hooking the ball, or if you add 30 yards to your drive if your shots are spraying to the left or right. You may have eliminated the slice in your ball flight, but did the ball actually go towards your target? I have heard people “oooh” and “ahhh” over their practice shots even though one went well to the left of what appeared to be their target line and the next went just as far to the right. Make sure you identify a target and gauge if you are hitting the ball within a few yards on either side of that target until the balls rolls to a stop.

Third, always hit a variety of clubs in a random order on the range. This will better reflect how a real round of golf is played. You never hit your seven iron fifteen times in a row on a normal round of golf so do not get locked into hitting only your seven iron on the practice range even if it is your seven iron that needs the work. For example, to work on your seven iron try hitting your seven a few times, then hit a 3-wood a couple of times, then hit a four-iron, then a wedge, then back to the seven for a few shots. This will help you practice your set-up routine for various shots since usually you address the ball and take your stance slightly differently for woods, low irons and high irons respectively.

Fourth, do not be in a hurry. Take a break for a minute or two after hitting a dozen balls or so. If you exhaust yourself you may begin making poor swings due to your tiring out that would almost never happen in a round of golf because on the course there is almost always a few minutes between shots that require a full swing.

Finally, take time at home some evening to write down on an index card the swing keys that help you prepare for taking a golf shot. Most people will have a list of five to eight things. Go through your set-up routine in your mind and jot down, in order, what you do to check your alignment, grip, stance, weight distribution, etc… and take that card with you to the practice range. Then read it over before EVERY practice shot for the first ten or fifteen shots. Train your mind to go through that list so it becomes a habit when you are playing a round of golf.

Hopefully you will develop your own list of golf tips from your time spent on the practice range and you will graduate from just “hitting balls” to actually tuning your swing by having a yard stick by which to measure your results on the practice range.

How to Correct a Golf Slice – Cure My Slice is the Cry of Golfers Worldwide

How to Correct a Golf Slice – Cure My Slice is the Cry of Golfers Worldwide

Article by Terry Gorry







In this article I am going to give you 2 quick tips as to how to correct a golf slice. They are aimed at the beginner golfer who has not experienced the pleasure of seeing their ball bend from right to left. But who recognises the need for more distance…right through the bag.

1. Release

To correct a golf slice and hit a draw you need a full and free release of the club through impact. This hand action, which is second nature to the professionals who have eaten their meals on the practice tee for years, involves letting the right hand and forearm release freely over the left through impact.

To get a good feeling for this hold the club up at waist height, with no ball to distract you, and swing back and forth slowly watching the opening and closing of the clubhead through the hitting area as you do so.

Then speed it up and experiment with speeding up and releasing earlier so that when you tee up your ball your clubhead will be closing through impact..thereby promoting a draw.

2. In to out Swing

To rid yourself of a slice you need to train and in to square to in path. But with a slice you are already swinging out to in in all likelihood so you need to exaggerate this cure by practicing swinging in to out.

To do this you can place a long tee in front of your ball but you must place it about 4/6 inches ahead and to the right of the ball-target line.

Then try to hit this tee in your follow through..it may be difficult at first but you will be swinging from in to out and giving yourself a great opportunity to hit a draw.
