Eat More Sammiches – The Muscle Building Guide for Skinny Guys Part I

November 2, 2009 By JC Deen 22 Comments

Alright, I did some searching online, trying to find a really good guide for the skinny guys interested in building muscle. While I found some decent stuff, most of it was pseudo-intellectual bs, making things more complicated than they needed to be. I even found a few articles on getting abs for a skinny guy. Since when has a skinny dude ever had trouble getting abs? They sport a six-pack all the time, hence the adjective skinny.

Throughout the next week or so, I want to leave all of you skinny guys with no questions whatsoever when it comes to building a sizeable frame, gaining strength and adding some quality weight to that skeleton of yours. [Read more...]

The Former Fat Boy Syndrome

October 19, 2009 By JC Deen 53 Comments

I must admit I am a FFB (Former Fat Boy). I am willing to bet many of the guys reading this were FFB’s.

About six weeks back, I received an email from a female who has been strength training for the last 5 years. She started when she was an overweight, out of shape college graduate who had added quite a few pounds since starting her new 9-5 desk job. After her newfound love for strength training and moderate cardio, she experienced a fat loss of 20 lbs over a period of about 6 months. Her body composition changed pretty drastically as the new muscle gain was evident 20lbs later. This didn’t surprise me given her previous experience with athletics in high school (she played soccer and has some fantastic quads). I will leave her name out of this article for sake of anonymity and/or embarrassment. [Read more...]
