How To Get Buff

So you want to get bulked.  Want to look buff.  It’s not the easiest task, but it is definitely doable with some hard work, discipline, and long term commitment.

I used to be a twig.  No really I was.  I decided one day to start lifting some weights.  I went to the store and bought a bench and some free weights and just started lifting.   I felt embarrassed at how little I could lift, and I probably looked silly for a very long time.

Over time I started to see some improvement but it wasn’t to the level I wanted.  Then I discovered the importance of diet.  I know many people who think that as long as they go to the gym they can eat whatever they want.  Well you can, but don’t wonder why you are seeing the results you want.

Fast forward a few years.  I am a far cry from the person I started out as.  I am up over 40 lbs of muscle with more to go, when you truly get into fitness, you never stop wanting to improve and set new goals.

So where do you begin?  Well, just start.  You don’t have to have everything together before you start.  You don’t have to have the 200 dollar shoes, the perfect under armour outfit (I still go to the gym in some basketball shorts and a plain white t.  I can’t bring myself to spend a ton of money on clothes I’m gonna stink up and sweat in). You need determination, you need grit.  Get into a gym, ask someone working there to help get you started.  If you are too shy, go to bodybuilding.com and look up some different workouts (there are tons for free).

 

Once you are working on the fitness aspect, start eating right.  Again if you don’t know where to start here are some basic pointers.  Get a fitness app that allows you to track calories.  Input your info and find out how many calories you want to consume for your weight goals.  myfitness pal is a good one.  You can input your height, weight, age, and your goal of either losing or gaining weight and it will tell you what amount of calories you need to hit.

Next cut the crap food.  No fast food, no soda, no sugar, no white anything (breads, pastas, etc.  go all whole wheat).  Stop cooking with grease, use butter or olive oil.  Replace sugary drinks with water, and drink lots of water.  64 oz a day bare minimum.

There’s so much more, but this will get you off to a great start.  If you have more questions, feel free to email me at: directorb.blog@gmail.com
