Know How to Go From Extremely Skinny to Healthy Body Mass.

So, you have finally started your first workout to get stronger & build muscles. Now its time to tell you about Workout B that you will do on day 3. If this is not clear, please go back to the last post & read it thoroughly to understand it better. Before I start, please note that muscles don't grow when you work out . They grow when you give them proper nutrition & adequate rest. That's why 5X5 requires you to take a 1-day rest before you do another workout. You just have to do 3 exercises per workout session & take a 1-day rest. Then you do Workout B as I am explaining below. Workout B Squats It has already been described in my last post . As you can see, you squat 3 days a week, every week. Keep on increasing weight once you have achieved proper form & confidence. But, do all 5 sets with the same weight on a given day. You will overload it after 3-4 months. Overhead Press Overhead Press works your shoulders as primary muscle group &

So, we now know that compound exercises are the best bet for beginners. I am now writing about your first workout program that I have found the most effective & easy. We will start with what is known as 5X5. It means 5 sets of 5 reps each. There is a website called  stronglifts.com  which teaches this technique in a simple manner. I have followed this guy Mehdi & his routines have helped me achieve a good part of my physique ( I am far from being a bodybuilder, but from 46 Kgs to 75 Kgs , I know I have progressed well ).  I am explaining this in a language that is a mix of both the contents of this website & my own experience. Please note that Mehdi or the site owner gives bloggers rights to link to his website. Read it  here . 5X5 is the easiest & most effective workout routine for beginners & advanced bodybuilders alike. I still do 5X5 for my deadlifts & squats. StrongLifts 5X5 consists of 2  workout routines A & B . You only need to workout 3 d

You have either joined a gym or setup your own at home . You have the basic knowledge of how muscles are built & also the basic gym terms . Its time to finally hit the gym & start lifting. But before I proceed further, here are my 2 cents on which exercises should a beginner do so as to get maximum benefits & gains. This is entirely my opinion & is also backed by this Lifehacker article as well. Beginners must start with compound exercises & not the isolation exercises. At least for first 3 months, they must only focus on compound exercises. Compound exercises will get you stronger & also improve your overall body. Its very easy to get lured into doing dumbbell or barbell curls ( from all those movies & photos on

Hi There! Today I will explain a few gym terminologies you will encounter through out your journey to building muscles & gaining mass. Its important to understand these terms properly before you start lifting weights. I have myself been a victim of not knowing these things when I started lifting & it stalled my gains & progress. So, make sure you understand all these aspects so as to be able to get the maximum benefits. This list will be updated from time to time.
