Avoid The Freshman 15 & Gain 15 Pounds Of Muscle Instead

By Vince On August 2, 2009 Under Featured Post, Miscellaneous, Muscle Building Secrets

If you’re a college or University student, you could easily become the victim of the Freshman 15, even if you’re a skinny guy! The Freshman 15 is the popular phenomenon that refers to weight gain that’s a direct result of college life.

And it’s not JUST common to females, so listen up if you’re a male.

As a Personal Trainer near a local University and college I consulted with dozens of frustrated guys destroying their freshmen year by packing on dozens of pounds of fat – instead of muscle!

In a moment I’ll share the EXACT 6 REASONS you have NO EXCUSE to gain muscle, instead of fat while in college (or even high school).

Avoid The Freshmen 15

I have witnessed dozens of skinny guys develop the “Skinny-Fat Syndrome” which is a instant turn off to all the gorgeous girls on campus. And I’ve witnessed dozens of fat guys LITERALLY became the wide student body which is equally bad!

I know how University is from personal experience.

I spent four years on one of the craziest campuses in North America – University of Western Ontario and even lived in Saugeen-Maitland hall which is ranked the number two party residence in North America by David Letterman! Trust me, it lived up to it’s name.

I know all about dime drafts, dollar shots, late-night pizza, 10-cent wings, buffet-style cafeterias, junk-food powered study sessions, and a jam-packed schedule that leaves you little time to exercise, and drinking games until the wee hours of the morning.

I’ve met so many guys who screw up their metabolisms and turn their six-packs into kegs within just months of this dramatic lifestyle change.

So what are you supposed to do?

Reality is, you’re not destined to become another “Freshman 15″ statistic

College Lifestyle Can Be PERFECT For Adding
Slabs Of Quality Muscle To Your Physique

Think about it. Here are six REASONS you’re guaranteed to succeed.

1. You’re young and have more muscle-building testosterone coursing through your body than any other time of your life.

2. You likely have access to an all-you-can-eat cafeteria to fuel your body with sufficient calories and the critical macronutrients: carbs, protein and fat. Beer is not one of the college macronutrients :)

3. You likely have access to a world-class weight room on campus with the best equipment and you don’t have to pay for your gym membership since it’s probably factored into your tuition.

4. You’re surrounded by a steady presence of beautiful women that are easy on the eyes and checking you out just as much as you’re checking them out. If that doesn’t motivate you then I don’t know what does! Western had the 3-Second Rule.” You’re guaranteed to see a good looking girl every three seconds!

5. You have a pre-set routine so this is an excellent opportunity to schedule your workouts into your time-table just like you schedule your classes. And if you’re in a program with over 30 hours a week, that’s even better because you’ll be FORCED to make better use of your time.

6. You have the opportunity to be “The Guy” who stands out on campus. Most guys waste away their college days on boozing and partying but too much of a good thing can be damaging to your body and life. It’s more rewarding to wake up and see a top-notch body in the mirror, rather than a pot-belly and blood shot eyes.

Today’s post was to put you in a
DIFFERENT mindset – to give you an EDGE.

I gained 41 pounds of muscle while working a full-time job and only having a few of those reasons as an edge. Are you going to take advantage or waste away the days of your prime?

So while you’re gaining another 15 credits, you have no excuse not to gain your first or next 15 pounds of quality muscle mass to your report card.

That’s why I wrote my book, No Nonsense Muscle Building: Skinny Guy Secrets To Insane Muscle Gain. I want you to start the school year off right by establishing a solid weight-training program fueled by a eating plan designed to build rock-solid muscle mass and keep your metabolism soaring and energy high enough for all the dates you’re going on.

Trust me, your college days ARE the best years of your life. Don’t let them pass you by.

Train hard and be “that guy” who stands out!

P.S. Check out what Nick said who gained 50 pounds of muscle: nick_nilsson

“For the skinny guy, one of the biggest hurdles in
getting bigger is not having a game plan.

Constantly bouncing around between the latest programs
you find in the magazines is not going to get results.

You have put together an extremely complete program,
giving you a game plan. You detailed EVERYTHING you
need to know to get bigger, from training to nutrition
to even mindset.

This isn’t a gimmick…this is not even just hard work
(you can train extremely hard and still get no results)…
it’s SMART work. THAT is the key.

Speaking from experience, I used to weigh 145 lbs soaking
wet…I currently weigh 195 with 7% body fat. I can tell you
that Vince’s book has the goods for building muscle. It’ll get
anyone where they want to be.”

Great observations Vince. There will be no better time in your life to make serious gains in muscle. Just takes a little discipline and planning.

Set yourself apart and be the envy of others…

Nice post Vince! In the end, the partying will stop and you will have to deal with the fall-out, so better to be in shape and only party once in a while. Heck, I did both and now I am all about staying in good shape. At 40, it is more important to eat right and exercise because all that partying will catch up with you at my age and recovery time slows as well, so party only sparingly…you will thank me when you get to be my age. ;-)

Eine private Krankenversicherung kann durchaus die monatlichen Kosten drastisch senken.
