So you’re one of those people. I’m sure your metabolism is the envy for anyone reading this that is trying to lose some weight. You probably won’t get much sympathy here. But there are a few things that you should know!First, nutrition is still important. Even though you can eat whatever you want without increasing your waistline, it doesn’t mean that unhealthy food options are any better for your body. I remember reading about autopsies being done on young American soldiers who had died in Iraq. Their veins looked like they belonged in 60-year-old cardiac arrest patients. In other words, nourish your body with healthy choices.
Second, it’s important to be realistic. If your nickname is “String Bean,” or “Tommy the Twink,” then you probably don’t have the genes to look like the Hulk. All of us are given different body types, and so it’s important to create expectations within the boundaries of what is possible. Instead of comparing ourselves to other people at the gym (who have a totally different set of genes) compare yourself to… yourself. You certainly can add bulk, but it will be to a different degree. It will be bulky for you, and that’s what matters.
Beyond paying special attention to your nutrition and being realistic, the recommendations for building bulk are the same for you as anyone else. You’ll need to:
- Lift weights. If you want to get creative, try P90X for a serious workout.
- Target a low number of repetitions (4-8 or 10 at most).
- Be fully fatigued on your last rep.
- Keep pushing yourself to progress to heavier levels of resistance or weights.
- Fuel your body with enough calories.
- Consume the right amount of protein.
- Don’t overtrain – get rest!
- Continue with moderate cardio. Don’t worry, it won’t burn off your muscle.
Hope that helps!
