Three body types
Your next steps in weight training and nutrition should be determined having in mind your current body form.
Generally, there are three body types:
- Skinny
- Muscular
- Rounded
These three categories are general and it doesn’t mean you are strictly in one of them. Your body can be a combination of any of these three body types or be somewhere in between.
Skinny body type
Characteristics: low muscle mass, low body fat, narrow shoulders and narrow chest.
Exercise and nutrition recommendations:
.
- Your first and basic goal should be increasing strength and body weight in muscle mass. Because you lack strength, it is probable that your muscle-building progress may seem slower in the beginning. That’s why it is needed to increase the daily intake of protein and fats. Your workouts should focus on strength (compound) exercises, not isolation exercises. Compound exercises are those influencing more muscles at once – Squats, Bench Press, Deadlift…
- In this phase, you need to start with a precise training regimen. You can get a great start with our training programs. You can also get online coaching in performing the exercises.
- Read more here about nutrition. With our diet program you will have a detailed menu and supplementation instructions.
- You should not spend excessive amounts of energy on other physical activities, jogging, swimming, etc. We don’t have nothing against other physical activities and sports, quite the contrary. But if you spend much energy outside the gym, your gym workouts will be less intensive. And your whole progress will be significantly slowed down.
