Have you ever imagined visiting a gym for the first time and watching a huge, muscular guy lifting a ton of weights and flaunting his huge muscles? The word "jealousy" aptly describes what you might feel towards that guy, isn't it? It is natural to feel frustrated when you gaze at a mirror and realize that you are downright "skinny" compared to the man you just saw.

Building muscles is something which takes a lot of efforts, will-power, dedication and planning. You cannot expect to hit the gym for a week or so and develop 24-inch biceps and 48-inch chest. Had it been so, every person in this world would have been walking around with 'six-pack abs', 24-inch biceps, huge shoulder and a well-built chest.

In order to transform your physique from a skinny guy into a macho man body builder you need to sacrifice oily unhygienic junk food and avoid irregular and untimely sleeping habits. To become a professional bodybuilder you require 100% determination and dedication. For this you need to control your tongue and follow the rule of Early to bed and early to rise.

Start your own no-nonsense muscle building program by looking at your diet. It needs to be high in both nutrients and the right kind of calories. Online calorie counters offer a valuable resource that you can use to make sure you're caloric intake is what you need for building muscle. As a rule of thumb, you need to eat one to two grams of protein each day for every kg you weigh.

Avoid eating food with high fat-content. Carbohydrates are important as they serve as energy suppliers. Coming to the second important step in your "no nonsense muscle building" program, you need to have a workout regime for yourself. Train one body part daily. Increase the weights progressively (do not increase the number of repetitions) as you perform an exercise like bench-press.

Exercising beyond 50 minutes or doing high-resistance cardio workouts like running or dancing before beginning your strength training will prohibit you from gaining muscle. You must avoid over-training at all costs. Keep in mind that, to develop into a professional, you must behave like a professional. Jump start your no nonsense muscle building with resolve, and the time will soon arrive when you are no longer a scrawny, ordinary man!
