There is nothing worst than being one of the skinny kids in high school who can 't even bench press the bar. I know because I was one of them. I remember going into my sophomore weightlifting class thinking I was "big", just to get embarrassed by mass monsters who could easily bench 1.5x their bodyweight.

That 's when I decided that it was time for a change. From that point on my life has revolved around fitness and becoming stronger. I can now bench 2x my bodyweight and am more confident than ever, but the change didn 't occur overnight.

It took years of hard work and dedication, but I fell in love with the process. Today, I 'm going to share the 7 most important tips that I personally followed to go from skinny to muscular.

When you do this, you 'll really see if you 're eating enough. Tracking your food and your weight on a daily basis will allow you to learn more about your body and it 'll help you figure out what works and what doesn 't.

By performing these compound movements you 'll be activating more muscles than you would by doing isolate exercises such as a leg curl or lat pulldown.

Don 't Be Scared Of Fats!
Just because they 're called fats doesn 't mean they 'll bitterly make you fatter. Fats contain more than twice as many calories per gram than carbohydrates and protein, so eat a lot of them if you want to gain muscle. Saturated fats will boost your natural testosterone production while healthy omegas are great for your heart. Foods that are high in fat and absolutely delicious include nuts, peanut butter, and whole eggs.

5. Keep It Intense and Quick!
If you 're trying to become a mass monster, you need to go intense and make your workouts short! It sounds counter intuitive, but it 's not. The longer your in the gym, the more calories you are prone to burn, and that 's the opposite of what you want. Go intense, give it your absolute 100% in the gym, leave, and focus on recovery.

6. Train Heavy!
It 's time to stop using baby weight. If you 're skinny and trying to build some solid muscle you need to stop the low weight-high rep regimen your currently doing. Focus and heavy weight and low reps. Training with heavy weight will challenge your character, but you won 't shy away from a challenge.
