http://www.behot.com.au/hotebook.php After being skinny since I was a teenager, I decided to bulk up and get stronger. In early August 2007 I was 66kg / 145 pounds at 181cm (5'9) tall, with around 14% body fat. My goal I want to achieve in 2008 is about 82kg (180 pounds) at 11% body fat.

This video is to show how a skinny guy can change his body and appearance, even if you know nothing about diet and training to begin with.

I'm looking at doing some videos on diet for skinny guys, that is what has worked for me, and helped me gain muscle. So if you would like to see this, let me know!

  • You're bound to put ...

    You're bound to put on fat when you're bulking- I'm not exactly sure (please don't quote me since I am no means an expert)- I'm going through my first BIG bulking phrase now so I can only tell you as I progress. Probably a couple of % body fat- depends if you are uber clean bulk or going dirty with alot of junk.

  • Yeah I know man it ...

    Yeah I know man it was to me aswell but you eventually get used to it because some foods you're eating again and again and you start to know the nutritional values of the back of your hand. Keep doing what you're doing and lift heavy- between 6-10 reps after you've gone through the beginner phase of 15 reps for a few weeks. Move onto free weights after about 6-8 weeks. Remember to eat the right proteins. Chicken (breast), tuna, turkey, beef, whey, egg (whites are best), milk are the best.

  • Europe: How much ...

    Europe: How much fat do you usually put on as you bulk up with muscle? I get 1 pound of fat for every 2 pounds of muscle. Then I have to cut down to lose the fat without also losing muscle. I boost my protein intake and reduce my calories to do this. At the same time, I make my workout maintenance workouts when I'm cutting so I don't tear down any muscle.

  • damn mate it all ...

    damn mate it all sounds confusing to me counting calories and your protein intake. all i know is that i have started eating loads more, and trying to increase protein foods. i take weight gainer powder but im soon gonna have another stock up and get some protein powder aswell. i would love to weigh about 16 stonne one day

  • (cont) You are ...

    (cont) You are getting 202 grams of protein= 808 calories. 67 grams of fat- 600 calories (20% of daily intake). And rest iscarbs. 600 + 808= 875. 3000-875= 2124 calories from carbs= 531 grams of carbs. I know it sounds alot but you have to eat to get big. And if you're serious- no junk food- I've cut out chocolate, crisps, cake, pastries, burgers, fries etc.

  • (cont) Your protein ...

    (cont) Your protein intake shold be 1 to 1.2 grams x your bodyweight in pounds. i.e 202 grams of protein for your weight. Your fat intake should be 20% of your calories. Carbs the rest. 1 gram of protein= 4 calories. 1 gram of cabrs- 4 calories, 1 gram of fat= 9 calories. ay you end up needing i dunno 3000 calories.

  • Eating is THE MOST ...

    Eating is THE MOST IMPORTANT PART of bodybuilding. I didn't believe this at first and thought it was just for people who want to be perfect rather than just bulk up. But it is necessary to grow. Get your BMR calculated online. Times this by 1.55 if you start going to the gym. Then add a further 500 calories to this. Use this amount of calories in total to be your daily intake.
