Since back in the day, I no longer have any trouble with regard to my external appearance. For the reason that I’m already into martial arts ever since I was 5 years old. And when I was 12, I already get down to hard-core strength and conditioning routines.

On the other hand, I come across individuals who don’t look the way they want, and each time they speak their mind, it’s like hearing stories that is the same as before. That’s why I am writing this post, if you are:

* Skinny and think you can’t put on muscle

* Obese and sense that you can’t count the calories

* “skinny fat” where you have no brawniness, but you’re just thin…

Then I can guarantee you are this way because of one of these 5 things:

First Reason: You Lack Specialized Knowledge

* You don’t know how to build strength.

* You have no idea how to watch your weight.

* You have no idea how to eat healthy

* You don’t know how to cook, as a result, you barely eat fast food as well as food in a packaged form.

* You don’t know which training program is best.

Knowledge is always the first step. The first thing you need to realize is how your body works, how proper nutrition and exercise changes the animal - then you discover how to make it do what you want it to do. In your case: change your physique for the better-build muscle and lose fat.

That’s why you’re here. I will give you the understanding you need. Yet it’s up to you to utilize it. Knowledge is NOT power, only APPLIED knowledge is power.

Second Reason: You Are Lazy

* You know how to build muscle yet you don’t want to get going.

* You know how to build strength, yet you think it’s “tiring”.

* You make alibis like “I don’t have the time!” though you know how to burn fat.

* You know how to eat nutritious, but then it’s easier to eat convenience food and food in a packaged form

I’m a big fan of being what I call ambitiously lazy. That is, I find the very best ways (specialized knowledge) to get the maximum results I want in the minimum time. So I get in, get it done, and get out. You have to EARN the right to be lazy.

You can read every book on the planet about building muscle and losing fat, but if you never start exercising and eating clean then you’ll never get ANY results. You have to take action. Don’t be afraid of failure, the most successful people realize that their entire life is one big mistake!

Reason No. 3: You Recognize Yourself As “Skinny” or “Fat” or “Not Muscular”

* You think of yourself as “skinny, fat or not muscular” instead of as what you want to be

* It doesn’t bother you a lot that you’re this way at all

* if you actually cared enough, if it concerned you enough, you’d change

* You’re AT EASE with your look

Nowadays being overweight and flabby is considered common. It wasn’t always like this. We used to be hunters and if you weren’t in shape-you were dead-end of story. During the industrial age everybody pulled through on hard physical labor, each person was in shape and buff.

You were considered “sickly” if you were lean and not brawny or teased for being overweight. You shouldn’t feel bad about yourself but don’t just say “this is just the way I am”. You can turn into whatever you want to become and achieve things you never thought you could achieve if you’re sick to death of your current situation and want to change bad enough.

Reason #4: You Think Gaining Muscle and Burning Fat is hard

* You accept terms like “hardgainer” and pertain them to you

* You don’t get results in 2 weeks, hence you stop

* You read books and magazines that talk about “battling the bulge” like it’s hard

Building muscle isn’t all that tough. If you’ve always been thin, try to get strong. Your body SHOULD adapt by building muscle to help you get stronger. It’s the way your body works.

Losing fat isn’t tough either. You eat healthy and you stay active. Anyone who says they can’t find 12 minutes a day 3x per week to count the calories is untruthful to themselves.

Reason #5: You Aren’t Determined Enough

* You haven’t said “no matter matter what happens”

* You haven’t told yourself “failure is not an option”

* You haven’t made a decision yet that “this is the year I get this sh*t handled!”

The fact is: you can build muscle, lose weight, and transform your body pretty well using ANY workout routine and nutritional program. That’s the reason why there’s so many of them out there. The key to success (ANY success) comes down to 2 things:

1. Come to a decision that you’re going to make a start and

1. Do it ANYWAY

I used to train with methods I wouldn’t make use right away. They’re not “proper” but it WORKED because I turned down in taking failure as an option. If you too develop the “do or die” attitude, you can attain whatever.

I will give you the understanding - or you can see it wherever. I like to think that I know the most immediate, coolest, very competent methods to make it - though you can acquire the knowledge you need from anybody. Besides you don’t need to be all that “positive” in your thoughts. Just come to a decision to go for it as well as look for means to get it through.
