What some of you must understand is that building muscle is not the same for everyone. It has a lot to do with your genetics, but lets not get confused. Just because you are not "genetically gifted" like some other people, does not mean you cannot build muscle as fast or faster than those who are. You see, muscle building for skinny guys is very possible, not only is it possible, but I am going to give you 3 focus points that are going to allow you to build muscle like never before regardless of your "skinny genes". So forget everything you have read in the past from "fitness professionals" who are only familiar with one kind of body type, NOT YOURS!
In the next few paragraphs I will teach you proper nutrition, what kind of workouts will benefit you the most, and how much training is required in order to put on muscle for skinny guys.
Muscle Building for Skinny Guys Tip#1
Eat, Eat, Eat! - The number one mistake made by skinny guys is, not consuming enough (good) nutrients. Every skinny guy I have ever mentioned this to always has the same response..."I eat so much, I cant possibly eat any more than I do". Do me a favor, follow this Hardgainer Formula (this will give you an accurate number for how many calories you should be consuming) and then let me know if you are really eating enough to build muscle. Simply put, you were blessed with a naturally high metabolism, therefor if you're burning more calories than you are consuming, you just will not grow.

Another very important detail is, the type of calories that you are consuming. If your daily caloric intake should be at 2500, don't go eat burger king twice a day and assume you are going to put on muscle mass. Your calories should come from complex carbohydrates, good clean protein sources, and natural fats. Your meals should be spread out into 6 per day and it is extremely important to stay consistent with an eating schedule.
Muscle Building for Skinny Guys Tip #2
Lift Big! - Your focal point during workouts should always be based on big compound exercises. These are workouts that allow you to target more than one muscle group at a time, tap into muscle fibers, help produce muscle building hormones naturally, and increase strength rapidly.

Here is a great beginners routine I put together for skinny hardgainers that I personally used and got great results.
Muscle Building for Skinny Guys #3
Take it easy! - One of the biggest mistakes made by skinny guys when they fail to see results is, they assume that they are not working out enough. WRONG! That could easily be the most counterproductive thing you could do to your body. This is simply because our body actually builds muscle while we rest and/or sleep, not while we are in the gym lifting weights. Another very powerful piece of advice I can give you is, take your workout sessions down to 3-4 a week or once every other day. This will not only allow you to maximize your gym performance by allowing your body to rest, but it will give your muscles enough time to rebuild and become stronger and larger.

There you have it hardgainers, these 3 very simple steps are the answer to your inability to build muscle. Make sure you follow a clean diet, focus on the proper types of exercises for your body type, and REST! If you can manage to follow these three steps, you'll be on your way to incredible strength and mass increases in no time.
