Joe Fazer shared on his YouTube channel recently how he got tagged in many TikTok videos of Jack, an 18-year-old fitness enthusiast. Jack, in a series of TikTok videos, was documenting his fitness journey, and Joe couldn’t help but remember he was just like Jack a few years ago.
Joe and Jack share a common narrative – the struggle to bulk up and gain muscle mass. Joe reminisces about the challenges he faced while trying to document his transformation from a skinny physique to a more robust one.
Like many ectomorphs, Jack faces the challenge of having a high metabolism and a less-than-enthusiastic appetite. Despite putting in the effort at the gym, the results seem elusive. Joe highlights Jack’s dedication, emphasizing the familiar struggle of being a skinny guy trying to bulk up.
Below are Joe’s tips for guys like Jack who want to transition from skinny to bulky
- Don’t Completely Cut Out Junk Food: For those struggling with a high metabolism, a pizza or ice cream is great when hitting daily intake goals.
- Liquid Calories: Recognizing the difficulty of consuming large amounts of solid food, Joe introduces Jack to liquid calories. A specially crafted “Fazer shake” becomes the go-to solution, providing a palatable and efficient source of nutrition.
- The 10-Minute Timer Method: The struggle to finish meals is a common issue, especially when distractions abound. To combat this, Jack is introduced to the 10-minute timer method. This technique eliminates distractions during meals, allowing focused eating within a specific timeframe.
- Drink Your Water: Beyond the obvious health benefits, staying hydrated is revealed as a strategy to expand the stomach. For skinny guys aiming to consume more calories, a well-hydrated stomach can accommodate larger food quantities, aiding in bulking.
- Push Yourself in the Gym: Acknowledging that diet is a significant factor for skinny guys, Joe emphasizes the importance of not slacking in the training department. Jack is encouraged to push himself in the gym, tracking lifts, and ensuring that his efforts in the workout mirror his commitment to a balanced diet.
