Building a fit body
EAT, LIFT, SLEEP REPEAT
1. EAT
Eat like a nutritionist
The first thing you need to do is start eating. If you're a skinny-tall ectomorph, you may be in the habit of saying that you can eat anything you like and not put on weight. Buddy, that ain't true. You may have a fast metabolism and burn more calories than the average person, but even YOU have a maintenance point. Start tracking what you eat everyday for a week. You'll figure out how many calories you normally eat and up that number by 500. If you're a real hard gainer, go for 1000.
2. LIFT
Train like a beast
Compliment your excess calories by pushing yourself at the gym and lifting heavy or high volume. Focus on your compound lifts such as Squats, Dead Lifts, Bench Press, Overhead Military Press etc. Make sure your technique & form are spot on, and slowly move towards improving your strength.
3. Sleep
Sleep like a baby
Get at least 8 hours of sleep per night, along with 1-2 off days from the gym. This is because your muscles are torn when you lift, repaired when you eat and re-sized when you sleep. So if you want to see your muscles get bigger, start hitting the sack.
