Growing up, I was always the skinny kid and I just thought it was impossible for me to go crazy. I was 5’10 “and carried around 120 pounds in a lanky frame. I blamed genetics or bad luck and just got on with my life while secretly jealous of my peers who seemed to improve quickly without effort. No It was like that, until I swallowed my pride and asked my friend for his secret that I learned how to improve quickly.

If you want to make a quick profit, you must learn to do what really works and produces results and not from hearsay or what you see on late night television or read in a magazine. Now, I’m the guy my friends ask for advice and this is what I tell them:

1. Eat well – To get a quick profit, you must consume the correct type and quantity of food. Protein-rich foods will help you build muscle. Protein shakes after a workout will also help with the muscle building process. Also, it is much better to eat 6 small meals throughout the day than 3 large meals like most people.

2. Smart work – Once you are eating properly, you will want to make sure that you are exercising properly and effectively. You want to work smart, not hard, as our goal is to bulk up and get better quickly. Free weights are better than machines because they stimulate the muscles better. It’s also important to get a training partner to not only detect you in certain exercises, but also to keep you motivated. Keep a journal to document your progress.

3. Rest well – Most people don’t realize that true muscle development occurs when you’re out of the gym. Muscle fibers get bigger after being stimulated in the gym. Some people think that they can improve quickly if they exercise harder and for longer. That is working hard, not smart. You want to exercise enough and then go home and rest so that your muscles can rebuild and enlarge.

By following these tips, you are well on your way to making a profit quickly. The most important thing is to act. You can read tips and advice, but the true measure of success is getting results that can’t happen until you take the first step. I gained over 50 pounds of lean muscle in less than a year and if I can do it, you can too. You just have to act and follow the steps.
