Skinny Guy Massive Muscle Building Lesson 7: Exercises Selection For Skinny Guys

If you're a skinny guy getting ready to dive into a workout program, it's vital that you spend some time carefully selecting the exercises that you plan to complete.  Far too many skinny guys are going into the gym each and every day and performing all the wrong excercises which is going to completely move them in the wrong direction.

As a skinny guy your body has different needs than someone else's who builds muscle fairly easily so you'll have to adjust your exercise choice as such.

Let's take a look at the main things that you should know.

Choose Compound Exercises Whenever Possible

First things first, you should always be placing a much higher priority on your compound exercises than you are your isolation exercises within the context of your program.  If you're serious about growth, you don't want to be wasting your workouts doing movements such as bicep curls, tricep extensions, or lateral raises.

While these may be good for giving you a nice muscle 'pump', that's about all they're good for.  When you hit the muscles with compound movements such as squats, deadlifts, chest presses, and rows, you're working multiple muscle groups all at once therefore will not only be able to press more weight up but will also see a greater hormonal release as well.

Compound lifts should always make the up the foundation of your program as they will be key to muscle growth for the skinny guy.

Place Isolation Exercises Toward The End

Second, if you are going to do a small amount of isolation work within your workout program, you'll want to be sure that you're doing this isolation work towards the very end of the workout routine.

Don't ever walk in and start with bicep curls for instance.  If you do that, you're going to fatigue the biceps which will then be needed for when you're performing rows or pull-ups.

Since your aim is to lift as much weight as possible on those compound exercises, you want all the muscle groups to be fresh at that point.

Isolation lifts will just fatigue these muscle groups and reduce the overall effectiveness of your workout program.  Do them at the end to finish them off before leaving the gym.

Hit The Muscles With A Higher Frequency

Moving on, when looking at how often you'll be hitting your muscle groups with the exercises that you're targeting, aim to hit them as often as you can within a week while still allowing sufficient rest.

Most skinny guys will find they have the best results with full body workout programs because this allows them to go into the gym and really hit the muscles hard and then allows a full day off for recovery.

If you split the body up even though your actual muscle tissues may get 48 hours to rest between workouts, your CNS won't be and the CNS is what's at play for overtraining syndrome.

As the skinny guy with reduced recovery, you must have that time off in there.  A full body workout maximizes recovery along with exercise frequency and therefore will be your best option.

So make sure you think about this when choosing your exercises. While it's understandable each and every one of you has certain exercises that they prefer over others, you still must make sure that the exercises you're doing are going to be best for getting you the results you want.
