Bony to Beastly’s finally cookin’!

Posted by W. Shane Duquette

The holidays are over and our skinny man’s muscle manual is coming along well. We’ve got a lot of the content written up, a ton of great recipes, and this weekend we’re filming instructional videos that will explain the workouts. Stay tuned!

Our 4 month ectomorph transformation experiment results:

And Marco’s officially joined the Bony to Beastly / Lean to Mean team. If you don’t think he looks all that much like an ectomorph that’s okay — we don’t blame you. I met Marco back in high school and he was just as skinny as I was. Boy was I ever surprised to see him a few months ago at 210 pounds!

Here’s the skinny Marco that I knew in high school:

    Can’t wait to see that guide! I’m just finished my first week of workouts starting at 5″10 and 133lbs. Hoping to get to at least 150lbs or so, maybe a little less. Think I’m aiming for a Brad Pitt “Snatch” type of body. I’m starting out with a 3-Day split of Chest/Triceps, Legs, and Back/Biceps initially, but I’ll have to wait until Monday to see if I’ve made any gains. Keep up the good work!

    Ah that’s awesome Greg! It should be ready soon, but we want to get some testing done first to make sure it’s really as perfect as can be. We know it works really damn well, but we want to make sure that people understand it, like it, and can realistically follow it. I’m sending you an email :)

    This is a very inspirational transformation. I am trying to beat my bad skinny genetics too. I am currently at 5’6″ and 140 lbs and trying to get muscular in the next six months. I am trying out Derek’s 12 week bulking program on bodybuilding for starters but would be very interested in learning about you routine as well! Once again congratulations on the transformation and giving me some confidence :)

    Skinny here too, but with a gut- which looks awful on skinny dudes haha. And I would give anything to go from no ass to huge ass :)
    Send me any advice!

    Ah skinny-fat — I’ve been there. A couple years ago I was eating 7000 calories a day for a little while in a misguided attempt to finally put on some muscle. Which is a higher priority to you right now? Dropping the gut or packing on some muscle? Doing both at once will make accomplishing either a much longer process. If you’d like you could follow this plan, and then a couple weeks from now when you’ve ditched the gut we can start talking about putting on some serious muscle Bony to Beastly style? :)

    Hey,

    this is my 8th month since I started working out, I saw your lean to mean program a couple of months ago, and that was really inspirational, with great results. I’m 5’9″ and I was 123.5 pounds 8 months ago, now I’m 138.68, and I really have a certain difficulty in gaining weight and muscles. I’m thinking about adding supplements to my diet. Do you guys have any suggestions?

    Thanks

    I’m very glad to hear you guys are putting a full guide together. I definitely struggle to put on (and keep) muscle, would love to have some guidance that’s relevant for skinny dudes. Any more of those emails going around? ;-)
