About Me And My Weight Gain Story

This is my personal weight gain story on how I transformed my physique from weak and skinny to strong and muscular in a matter of months. If you are interested in who I am and why you should consider taking the advice I write on this site, then please read on.

My name is Julien and I live in Perth, Western Australia. Up until recently I was your typical skinny guy. I was good at sport and played football for years, but my thin physique would always hold me back.

As a teenager I was quite self conscious about being too skinny, and this affected a lot of different areas of life. Back then I wished I was bigger and stronger, and with more self confidence.

So one day I decided that it was time to stop thinking about it and go out and do something about it. I began trying to eat more with the aim of gaining some weight. I ate and ate, but it didn't seem to be working. But then I realized why.

My problem was this: my body type is known as an ectomorph. Being an ectomorph means you are naturally thin and have a high metabolism so it's very hard to put on weight. In other words I found out I was what you called a "hard gainer". I might have thought I was eating enough to gain weight, but I simply wasn't.

I started researched weight training as I knew this was a great way to bulk up. For about a year I occasionally read stuff about gaining weight and building muscle, but different people recommended different things and some of the information I read contradicted each other. I was quite confused.

Then one day I luckily stumbled across MuscleGainTruth.com. The site's author, Sean Nalewanyj, is a world-renown bodybuilding and fitness author who had accomplished what I was trying to do. He was once skinny, and he managed to pack on a lot of muscle mass. His own personal weight gain story was inspirational, and I could relate to him so I figured I would give it a go.

His muscle-building program, the Muscle Gain Truth No-Fail System, seemed too good to be true. I was a little skeptical at first, but I went ahead and bought it that next day. To this day it is easily the best 80 or so dollars I've ever spent.

I started his program soon after, and was seeing great results in a very short period of time. After 4 weeks I had already gained 11 pounds (5 kilograms) which the majority of was muscle. I also noticed my strength was improving a lot, and people were already noticing I was getting bigger.

I stuck to the program and kept packing on muscle mass. Before going on Sean's program, I weighed in at 140 pounds. After 6 short months, I had developed a much stronger and muscular body, and weighed 180 pounds (82 kilograms). That's an astounding 40 pounds that I gained over 6 months.

My body had completely transformed. When I saw people I hadn't seen for a while, they were quite shocked to see me the way I was! It changed my life for the better in so many ways. And all this would not have been possible if it weren't for following Sean's program. The results I achieved were priceless.

The program explains everything to you. How to eat properly, how to train properly, and everything in-between. It has been ranked the #1 online muscle building program around the world. Check it out for yourself at www.MuscleGainTruth.com.

I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to gain weight and build muscle, especially those who are skinny and finding it hard to put any weight on. If I can transform my body with the program in 6 months, then there's no reason you can't either. In a few short months you may be the one writing about your own successful weight story story.

Update - 24th September 2009: Currently weighing in at 216lbs (98kg). To this day I am still applying all the advice Sean gives in his program and following his workouts, and it continually works wonders. People are amazed at how much my body has changed.

Update - 14th October 2009: Currently weighing in at 100kg, which was my goal for bulking. Today I started my new fat loss phase where I aim to cut down my body fat percentage to under 12% within the next 6 months.

I'm following Sean's new fat loss program at www.HowToBurnFat.com, which is a follow-up program to his original muscle building program.

Again, Sean has over-delivered with a superb program that teaches you everything you need to know about burning fat whilst maintaining all the hard earned muscle you have gained. I'll keep you all updated as to how my fat loss results go, and I'll also be posting some before and after pics soon too. Bye for now.

Update - 12 February 2010: It has been almost 4 months now since I started cutting down my excess fat. I started at around 23-24% as my body fat percentage, and now it reads as approximately 17%! I'm making steady progress week by week, and Sean's advice in his latest fat loss book has formed the basis of my day to day routine.

Guys, if you're looking to burn fat then definitely check out the program at www.HowToBurnFat.com. You won't find better advice anywhere.

Update - 29 June 2010: It took roughly 8 months, but finally I have achieved my goal of 12% body fat, whilst maintaining as much muscle mass as I could! I feel great, and now it's time to start bulking again. I am now at 76kg, and will bulk as clean as possible this time so that I gain more muscle mass but without too much extra fat, so that when I start my next cutting phase I won't have as much fat to burn off as last time.
