Are You Making These Muscle Building Mistakes?

ByMark A Hanson

Skinny guys, the guys with genetics that seem to make it impossible to build muscle, are all too prone to muscle-building mistakes.

There are plenty of mistakes that most bodybuilders make but skinny guys seem to fall for all of them. After a few years of wasted time, money and effort, they see no results and figure that bigger muscles just aren't in the cards.

Don't despair. Bigger muscles are in the cards. You just have to start playing with the right cards.

This article covers three of the common muscle-building mistakes that skinny fall for and how to avoid them.

1. Following Bodybuilding Magazine Advice

All glitzy bodybuilding magazines try to outdo each other with wild promises to their readership, "2 Inches on Your Biceps in 2 Weeks!" "47% Strength Increase In 7 Days!"

Most of the recommended muscle-building information in bodybuilding magazines won't work for skinny guys. It WILL work for guys who happen to be using steroids but not for you.

The big promises and beautiful pictures are inspiring but they are also misleading.

2. Following Advice From Drug/Steroid Studs

It's no secret that drugs and steroids allow bodybuilders to recover from muscle shredding workouts faster. But they also increase hormonal levels and speed up physiological processes that probably shouldn't be speeded up.

The big boy bodybuilders inject an incredible amount of drugs into their bodies. These are the guys paraded out in the magazines week after week as though the average bodybuilder has a chance to look like them. Fat chance.

In a nutshell. Trying to increase your muscle mass through the use of drugs and steroids is dangerous and not worth it.

3. Following The Wrong Bodybuilding Program

Just remember that most bodybuilding programs are designed for certain bodies types. If you have a body similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger then it would be okay to workout like Arnold Schwarzenegger. If you don't, then you need a different program.

A big mistake with most bodybuilding programs is that they work your muscles for to many sets without enough recovery time. As I mentioned earlier using steroids is the only way to recover from workouts like that fast enough.

Conclusion

If you want to build muscle safely and naturally, no drugs, no steroids, then you need to avoid the advice from mega-muscle magazines and guys who shoot up with steroids.

It's also wise not to follow the advice of bodybuilders who don't have a similar body type to yours. If you have a skinny body type advice from a thick body type probably won't work for you.

Find a guy who started out looking like you but has added the amount of muscle you would be proud to show off. His advice might be just what you're looking for.
