Hey Guys Mike here with the Six Pack Shortcuts. There has been a lot of emails recently about skinny guys who want to put on some serious size and get ripped for the summer… so I made this video to go over the 3 most effective diet tips to build serious lean muscle FAST!
The first tip I talk about is the need for carbohydrates. This is probably the most overlooked tip when it comes to putting on size. Most people think that protein is what makes you big… however the truth is proteins will build muscle, but carbs are what is going to get you big fast. The body can only absorb so much protein per day, the rest will just flush through your digestive system doing literally nothing for you when it comes to getting big! So if you want to put on size fast…. Pack on the carbs!
Here are some great carb options that will help you put on size…
*White rice
*Baked Potatoes
*Pasta
The next 2 tips I am going to talk about is the time of day you choose to have your meals Here are the most important times to eat…
*Within 30 minutes of waking up
*45 minutes before your workout
*Immediately after your workout
*30 minutes before bed
*Try to eat one meal every 2.5 hours on average
The 3rd tip for you hard gainers is most important. Usually hard gainers dont have as big of an appetite. So you need to train yourself to eat even when you aren’t hungry. I find this gets easier when you are eating foods you really love so fill free to add a little extra sugar and sweets to your meals.
And if you’re REALLY serious about gaining muscle, watch this free video:

I show you why I don’t ever use traditional bodybuilding or cardio routines — and why I use a crazy new style of training called “Afterburn Training” instead. It’s great because it helps you to build muscle, while also keeping you lean and ripped. This video shows you how normal guys like you can use Afterburn Training to get in killer shape:

Until next time… TRAIN HARD!

Muscle Building – Avoid these Muscle Building Mistakes
Muscle building is not rocket science. It only takes a solid understanding of the different philosophies that surround muscle building as a whole, from building muscle for aesthetics to building muscle for power and endurance. Yet, people who’re new to the world of muscle building fall prey to several mistakes that would hinder them from getting the physique they want or even hinder them from breaking their plateaus. Let’s face it, we all make (or made) the following mistakes as first-time gym goers. Even superstars like Arnold fell for these mistakes.
So what are the things that you shouldn’t do when building muscle?
1.) Sticking with the same program – When your gym instructor gives you a program for the first time, it doesn’t mean that you have to follow it for the rest of your life. It’s not about the kind of workout you do, but what you work with. If you constantly use low weights at high reps, you’ll get nowhere. If you take the same program with the same workout, but add in periodization and overloading principle, you’ll find that your program will be a lot more effective. It doesn’t hurt to shift or cycle to another program months later.
2.) Ignoring form – Form matters a lot when you want to build muscle. People cheat in order to complete a set or rep, but this doesn’t really help them gain any muscle mass. Sure, you pressed 100kgs but if you did it at half ROM or range of motion, you’re better off with doing push-ups. Form is also critical when it comes to avoiding injury, like squatting with your toes facing forward or deadlifting with an arched back.
3.) Ignoring diet – Diet is something that’s important to proper muscle development. If you lift weights, but drink alcohol every night and eat junk food every single hour, your progress is halted. As most of the bodybuilders would say, you grow outside the gym. This means that you need to eat the right kinds of food if you really want your muscles to grow. This is also important if you are looking to get ripped or shredded.
4.) Isolation over compound – If you focus too much on isolation exercises, you won’t be making too much progress. Think of it as taking baby steps towards your goals. Rather, you should focus more on compound exercise because they work different muscle groups at the same time. Compound exercises like bench press work the chest, bicep, back, and triceps, while squats work the back, shoulder, quads, and hamstring.
When you want to build muscle the right way, you need to avoid these mistakes.

Unlike those “one-size-fits-all” diets, The 3 Week Diet Manual will show
you how to calculate your lean body mass vs. fat percentage and will then
provide you with a specifically tailored rapid weight loss plan to suit
your body type. You’ll know exactly what to eat every day, how much to eat
and when to eat it. You’ll never be guessing—just follow the outline and
you WILL lose weight.
In addition to this, you’ll discover the exact foods you must eat to
maximize your body’s fat burning potential and what foods you must avoid at
all costs because of their ability to slow down or even stop the fat
burning process.
The Diet Manual is, quite frankly, the ultimate method for producing
extremely fast fat loss results. And it doesn’t stop there. Also included
in The Diet Manual is my ultimate, super-simple plan for keeping the weight
you’ve lost OFF forever, while still being able to enjoy your favorite
foods. This allows you to live a “normal” life without worrying about the
weight coming back (you’ll love this!).
Thanks man this really helped I’m not really trying to put on size but the
thing when you talked about how you have a 45 minute time span to get your
meal really helped I never knew that. I’ve been working my ass off and
seeing no results I’m starting to think this is why I’m definatly going to
try this
Why Should we put more weight? Isn’t muscle what we are trying to build?
What is general weight going to help us with?
you also need to consider the body’s ability to absorb nutrition. some
people just shit out the stuff they eat, without absorbtion, i.e., most
hardgainers
Thank you so much Mike.. Im a skinny guy, but I love working out… This
really helped me get some mass 😀 :D
Point three is interesting. That was my main problem. When I work out
heavy, my appetite is close to nothing. I literally have to force myself to
eat to put on weight and muscle mass.
Gatorade isn’t healthy. 2:10
Add a close caption?
I want to get my muscles grow but not to get more weight
if you have a little bit of fat on yourself like me does rule 2 still apply
because im pretty sre your body eats your fat before muscle right?
Hey Mike I am 16 years old and I am 5’8″ and 150 pounds. I have big arms
and an okay sized chest and I want to pack on size and look like Mark
Wahlberg did in pain and gain but I am afraid If I do increase my carbs
that my stomach will stick out further than my chest so I am stressing
about this alot . Also I play running back for my team so I want to stay as
fast as possible.

guys I want to get bigger than what I am, but yet i’m not all muscle do I
burn the fat then eat more? or eat more and burn at the same time?
even I am not sure about Gatorade, but I am planning on taking a bottle of
water with some lemon juice, salt and sugar added to it. Yummy…..
If you eat too much carb than you will get fat
Nice tips Mike, thanks
good points Mike. I always make sure I get something down as soon as I
finish my workouts too. It really does help delay the break down of muscle.
