A skinny guy should not train like other guys. This is why skinny guys who buy all the nutrition and workout books still stay thin.
Skinny guys have faster than average metabolism. This is why skinny guys are skinny. More time in the gym, of course, will hurt rather than help. In this program, you spend a minimal amount of time in the gym as your goal is merely to 'shock' your body into growth. The real battle is in the kitchen.
Years ago, I realized that if I wanted girls with nice bodies, certainly improving my own body would be a big step in that direction. And I also realized that although girls do like model looking guys (since they are so 'pretty'), they generally do not fantasize about them. Rather, they dream of the underwear models.
When I found out that the girls who (generally) are attracted to skinny guys happened to be fat, uglo, or broken chicks, and that (generally) all the pretty chicks liked the big boys, that was all the motivation I needed.
I think its ridiculous to pay for things you can get for free. For example, most of the 'how to get girls' info is free on this website. Why do we need to buy expensive discs and books when the information is all right here?
But when it comes to diet, working out, and so on, I kept hearing different ideas and all the information gets summed up into slogans, not the precise information we need. Simply 'eating more' and 'working out with heavy weights' is not enough.
What I like about Ellis's program is how precise it all is, from the workout to the diet to the measurements. You just plug yourself into the program, be patient and persistant, and you'll get a change similar as to on the website. It becomes a mathematical certainty.
When I first got the program, I thumbed through the book and there were two things in it that I knew that would make it a winner. First, there was a 'section' on people's reactions to your change, of how they will make fun of you and all. This sounds strange but it becomes odd when you stand out in the crowd, when people notice you. The section said, "What choice do you have, to get used to your skinny frame because you are afraid of all the attention that will be dumped on you?" At one point, I was changing so much that I wanted to go back to my normal self, since change can be disorienting and discomforting. When I first read it, I couldn't believe people would stop the program because it is successful, because they couldn't adapt to the change people had in them.
The second thing was the page in the FAQ giving the details of how to prepare for a photo shoot. A program has to be pretty damn sure of itself to tell you how to model your body correctly!
It is not revolutionary. However, the physical fitness market is saturated with hype, bad information, etc. etc. Let's face it, there is a lot of BAD information out there. Other times there is INCOMPLETE information. All I'm saying is that skinnyguy.net is legit, the program does work, there is no hype or fabrications involved. It is the only website that has changed my life as much as this forum has. No wonder MTV has contacted Ellis on doing some type of show on it.
I used to be a nerd, dork, whatever you want to call them. I was scrawny, skinny, and I was always in awe (but still thought they were stupid!) of the jocks, football players, fitness trainers etc. that the girls would drool over. Now I am up there with them. In the gym, I've been mistaken as a Kinsiology major several times because of my notebook (I re-wrote mine). The gym's fitness instructors can't believe my progress (because Ellis disagrees with the conventional fitness programs). One memorable time was working out with a guy (extremely muscular and very nice) who was about to join the Houstan Texans.
But the point is that now I get respect from guys and crushes from the PRETTY girls. The uglo weirdo girls don't even try now. One older woman said, "You know all the girls like you." On New Year's Eve (at my job, I had to work!) became tired enough to break the usual femal pattern and asked me, "Pook, WHY don't you just go get a girlfriend!? You are cute, tall, etc. etc. etc." Amazed by such candor, I replied that I was aiming at life, not love. But there is a whispering around me, wherever I go, from the women. In the end, women try to say I'm 'gay' because I am not going for them! (I don't know what is worse. Is it to love all women and never be loved by one in return or to be loved by all women and yet cannot be interested in falling in love with one?)
All this Don Juan stuff is great. But we are not cerebral creatures, we are flesh and blood, and we are all centaurs as we ride the beast through this world. Improving the body is very important and I like it as it shows that my talent of hard work and persistence gets displayed through the world.
No, it's not everything. It is not revolutionary. But it is all the workout and nutrition information I'll require for a lifetime. All that time is saved from going through hyped products and silly new workout 'genius' slogans.
Look on the front page! There is an article on 'sexual cues' of totally redoing your apartment! Now, that is an example of 'trying way too hard'.
Most guys go, "I am unattractive, not charming, so I need all these other things to aid me."
Nonsense. Practically everyone has the ability to make themselves beautiful. I applaud the fat chick who makes herself skinny (what do fat chicks do instead? They just wear make-up or dye their hair. NO!) or the skinny guy who makes himself muscular. The only limits we have are the ones we impose on ourselves.
As for me, I'll stick to the program and continue to go about like an underwear model who stepped out of his ad. Let the women lust and the men look at me with respect, as that is not the point of why I did this program.
It was because people told me all my life: "You are skinny and you'll always be skinny. Get used to it."
I'm not skinny anymore. Now I say them, "I'm bigger than ever so get used to that!"
