2. Eat like a Bodybuilder
"I have a fast metabolism!"
Whatever.
Eat 5-6 times a day. Protein + Carbs, easily digestible meals.
Eat the same things all the time, increase volume of food whenever possible

3. You’re Not going to Overtrain
That bitch instinct in you that worries about overtraining, tell it to shut the fuck up. Unless you’re in the gym 3 hours every day, you sleep only 5 hours a night, and you undereat, you’re very very unlikely to overtrain.

4. Dont Train Like A Powerlifter
If Stronglifts or Starting Strength worked amazing for you and you put on muscle from nothing but sets of 5...you would not be reading this list
The reality is that low rep training is inferior for muscle growth in many people....

It does not provide enough muscle stimulating volume.
also the fact that if you have small joints & are skinny, the likelihood of you being gifted for maximal strength is very very low.
Train like a bodybuilder and use moderate to high reps. 6-10, 10-20.

5. Divorce Yourself From Dogma
Your best exercises should
Hit the target muscle
Not hurt your joints
Allow you to make progressive gains in reps and resistance
there are zero mandatory exercises that you are obligated to do.

6. Bodyweight Exercises
Chinups, pullups, dips, pushups, Squats and lunges
They need to be a regular part of your training. If they are easy, ADD WEIGHT to them.
Relative bodyweight strength gains are a great indicator of muscle gains

7. High Reps for Legs
I don't believe anyone is unable to grow their legs and have bird leg genetics. Do 20 rep sets for EVERY leg exercise for 3 months, and I guarantee your legs will transform. I have yet to ever see this NOT work.

8. Isolation Training
You need to train your arms if you want bigger arms. You need to do deltoid raises if you want bigger shoulders. You need to use isolation exercises, b/c they work
If you were the guy who could ONLY use compound movements and get swole, you’d already know.
