Genetically I have a small bone structure. I have always had a 6 pack, and you could always see my muscles because of very low body fat. I am a very active person, and everyone's always told me I had a nice body. But what I have is skinny muscle.
I want to become bigger in mass, mass that you can see even though I am wearing a shirt. And I'm doing this for myself, because it will make me happy. Not for anyone else...
But after some research, I have come across a couple of questions. I need an experienced person's advice.
1. I read somewhere here that the only way to get big and muscular is to use things like creatine or get on steroids. Maybe they were wrong, but either way, I don't want to do that. Is that true? Do I really have to use steroids just to get the build I want?
2. I have come to realize that all the people whose body structures I would like to have....naturally naturally big bones.
Is it still possible for me to be big like that with time, only through diet and weight training? I'm looking for a 50 cent type of structure, slightly larger than lean basketball player builds. My natural build is that of a feather-weight boxer.
3. I am also wondering about bar pull-ups. Would those help to build mass? "Hood" kids that don't have access to the gym always use pull up bars, like the walk/don't walk signs on the corner or the park and they rip up like that.
As you can probably tell I'm not very knowledgable when it comes to body building. I read Diesel's guide, but I don't recall anything about bone structure. Is a large build possible for a person like me?
Just need straight to the point answers and advice. No flames, don't waste my time or yours.
