Bony to Beastly’s finally cookin’!
Update: I’ll leave this post alive, but beta was a complete success. Read the full Bony to Beastly story here, and check out the finished program here.
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 🙂
Greg tells me he’s already up a few pounds of muscle — I’ll send you an email too 🙂
Brought here from a youtube video, good inspiration…I just started training myself and I too am an ectomorph (6″2 145 lbs) Any suggestions would be great even though you guys dont have a plan ready yet
Haha I sent you an email too 🙂
i found you guys through your youtube video as well. I’d love an email as well if you have extras 😉
Hahahaha sent you one too 🙂
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? 😉
Perhaps a couple more!
I’ve typed my e-mail wrong, on my last comment. I’d appreciate if you sent the e-mail to me one more time.
Alright guys you’ve got emails 🙂
hey guys,im like every other skinny guy around i find it very hard to gain weight and muscle,but watching your videos have given me hope… i think all us skinny guys appreciate the effort you have put into this videos and i cant wait for the guide so i can get some more help with what exercises to do and food to eat!!
once again thanks!
hope! inspiration! its all here! all coz i watched a youtube video. gotta have that huge ass! theres no point in giving up now for me now that this is hard proof.
I am 5″11 138lb I want to gain muscle like you guys. I’m trying a 12 week program but am more than interested in your workout plan. if you could please send me an email when your product is finished it would be greatly appreciated. And would it be free? My email again is anrealtor@gmail.com. And when would it be available too the whole community not just beta testers??
Hey guys,
Greetings from Ireland!
Got directed here from a YouTube video and your site is great.
I literally began going to the gym today for the first time, was told I was an ectomorph, and that I needed to start eating 3000 calories a day with like 300grams of protein. Any advice would be greatly appreciated – I will be doing before and after photos also. I’m 6ft and 145lbs.
Cheers,
Carl
Hey Carl!
Congrats on getting to the gym! I hope it works out!
Haha it isn’t as much protein as it seems. If you eat 3000 calories of balanced meals that are roughly 30% protein you’ll hit 225g, and that’ll be all you need. If you had a very typical 150 pound body (15% body fat, maybe 5’10) and a very typical lifestyle (some walking + a desk job) then 3000 would be good for gaining weight.
We’ll be starting up a new blog for Bony to Beastly within the month, targeted at one person: a skinny guy looking to build a big healthy strong physique. I think you’ll love it.
In the meantime you could check out Marco’s blog. There’s some good stuff on there!
And because you asked for advice: buy fish oil and have it every morning and every night. If you’re affluent buy Krill oil. It’s the most underrated and effective supplement for building an impressive physique. It’s incredibly good for you, too.
imma able to get an email too
i found you guys at bodybuilding forum and you guys had great progress and im looking for some bodybuilding tips for ecotomorph in getting bigger
We can do better than that 🙂
Bony to Beastly will be ready soon!

Hi guys,
Your videos and pics have been very inspirational. I’ve been trying for ages to put on weight. But as you guys i have gone the wrong so many times. Hope you can provide some serious guidance. Thanks for the help and I’ll keep you posted on my progress.
