Oh, for me it is the opposite. I can gain easily enough. Leaning however...

Good, finally got done leaning up. Now to try and add some size.

Sep 14, 2009 11:36am

Yeah, how you been?

hows your workout coming along?? Last Night we had another High Speed Chase.. a female with a gun

I doubt you have to worry about getting fat if you are naturally skinny. Just keep working out, eating right, and lifting heavy. You will see results.

Hey Joe, take a look at this free e-book from Scivation for ectomorphs: www.scivationbooks.com/ectomor phs.htm It will answer all of your questions. -Jeff

You know it really just depends on you and your body as well. For me it was the most effective when I cycled bulking and cutting phases because I am naturally very thin so it's difficult for me to gain weight unless I eat quite a bit. What's your body type? Gain easy? Naturally lean? Medium?

So IMO you could go about it three ways 1) Google or go to the forums and check out the Zig-zag diet 2)Do a building phase where you are only focused on gaining muscle and then do a cutting phase after or 3) The way I go about it is to eat extremely clean but lift and eat just enough calories to gain muscle and cut fat at the same time(but in a very slow process). Message me if you want more details but good luck!

Honestly it's quite difficult to do both at the same time.. define your abs and get bigger. Getting bigger requires you to be eating more calories than you're burning and getting your abs to show requires decreasing your bodyfat percentage.

you can burn fat and gain muscle at the same time

Combination of cardio, diet, and weight training. Everyone has nice abs, just got the lose the fat. Good luck and PM me if you have any questions.

I would go ahead and train them as any muscle. They just might not show up as much until you decide to lose fat.

Mar 5, 2009 4:03pm

Luckily for you, you are young enough that you will more than likely get bigger anyway.

Mar 5, 2009 4:02pm

Some basic ideas are get enough protein, lift heavy, and be patient. It takes time to add muscle.

I sure will. Ask away.
