Nobody knows skinny better than us
Millions of readers, 12 years of experience, and over 10,000 formerly-skinny clients.
This is what we do best.
This is our complete workout, diet, and lifestyle program. No fads or angles, tricks or pills. Just a sound foundation of strenuous lifting, good nutrition, and lifestyle changes proven to improve health and lean muscle growth.
The 230-page Bony to Beastly eBook covers the fundamentals of building a strong, healthy physique with exercise, diet, and lifestyle changes.
This is a bulking program for naturally skinny dudes. It's designed to help you leap over hurdles like:
We know you might not have the bottomless, ravenous stomach other programs take for granted. We know that telling you, "Just eat more" just won't fly. We’ll teach you all about appetite, energy density, digestion, and how to eat a proper bulking diet.
Take advantage of your thin body type. We’ll teach you how to leverage your genetic advantages. Thin guys tend to be able to build muscle faster than average—and with less fat gain. We'll teach you how to train for muscle strength and size. We'll teach you how to eat a healthy, balanced weight-gain diet. We'll teach you which lifestyle interventions increase your rate of muscle growth while simultaneously improving your health.
Overcome setbacks. Many skinny guys have poor posture, nagging aches, and digestion issues. We cover the most common problems in the guide. We’ll also help you work around any unique issues you're struggling with, one on one, in the member community.
Skinny-guy supplements. If you want to use supplements, you'll learn about the few supplements that are proven to help skinny guys get bigger and stronger.
If you want to keep it all-natural, we'll teach you how to make homemade mass-gainer smoothies, protein bars, and pump enhancers out of whole foods. This takes a bit more work but provides more powerful benefits.
Most of all, we'll help you get bigger, stronger, healthier, and better looking.
Soon, your scale will fear you.
We suspect you want to build muscle fast. This isn’t one of those programs where you slowly build muscle over several years. No, we go after muscle gain aggressively, mercilessly.
Your extended family will be asking if you’re on steroids at your next cousin's wedding. You won't be. This is a program for naturals by naturals. But that won't quell their suspicions.
Conventional bulking—done right. We won't lure you in with the latest revolutionary muscle-building techniques. Those rarely work. This is a workout routine built on the fundamentals of conventional hypertrophy and strength training. These methods have stood the test of time; they've been proven in the trenches, refined by meta-analyses, and used by us over the past decade to help over 10,000 other skinny guys bulk up.
We aren't reinventing the wheel, we're just focusing on what matters most, and we're doing it properly. That's how Marco gained 70 pounds, how Shane gained 70 pounds, and how Jared gained over 50 pounds. We didn't look for the magic shortcut, we just made sure we were lifting, eating, and living in the way that's proven to maximize muscle growth.
Killer aesthetics. Looks aren't everything, but it's nice to look cool. We'll teach you how to improve your appearance by building muscle, eating a better diet, and living a healthier lifestyle. You'll see improvements in your physique, your posture, and even your skin.
No more lanky arms. Being naturally skinny often means we have slightly different proportions from the average man. For one, we tend to have proportionally longer arms and thinner bones. We often need to pack more muscle onto our arms before they look strong. Marco had to bring his arms up to 16.5 inches (42cm) before they looked proportional on his 6'4 frame.
Following a basic strength training approach centred around compound lifts is all well and good, but without plenty of direct arm work, our arms usually lag behind.
No more lagging chest. If you have a naturally narrow shoulder structure or a naturally thinner rib cage, it can be hard to build a full and wide chest. We'll teach you how to press more weight and how to stimulate your chest. These are the methods that helped me bench press 315 pounds.
Our workouts take into account all of the bulking research published up to 2023. Marco has a degree in health sciences (BHSc), he's also a certified personal trainer (PTS) and diet coach (PN), and he interned with strength legends like Eric Cressey, strength coach for the Yankees. Since then, he's trained clients ranging from regular skinny guys to college, professional, and Olympic athletes.
We use a mix of formal education, research, personal experience, over 15 years of in-person coaching experience, and over 10 years of coaching people online.
Our goal is to fully maximize your rate of muscle growth. To do that, we min-max everything. Your exercise selection, rep ranges, weekly lifting volume, tempo—everything. We want you to get the best results you possibly can.
We'll also teach you what actually matters. If you want to scale back your efforts, you'll know how to get 80% of the benefits with 50% of the effort.
All of this is clearly organized exercise by exercise, workout by workout, phase by phase. No guesswork is involved. Just follow the routine, record how much you're lifting, outlift yourself every workout, and collect your muscle gains.
With every workout, you'll be able to lift a little bit more weight. Every week, you'll weigh a little bit more on the scale. After every phase of the program, you'll have measurably bigger muscles.
