Urgent Help With Gaining Muscle/fat On Shoulders And Arms

[Khalistani-Lion]

WJKK WJKF,

Hope your all good. I wanted to share a problem of mine which is frustrating me.

Im happy with my body apart from my arms and shoulders. The main problem is that they have become quite thin , causing me to feel weak and anorexic. In addition to this, i am also having trouble getting rid of my stomach fat.

I need urgent advice on how to add muscle/fat to my arms and shoulders. I am currently undertaking Boxing and MMA lessons and need to know what exercises/cardio workouts i can do to get mass on my arms and shoulders. I am unable to use the gym aswell due to financial difficulties as i am already paying for boxing and mma.

Thanks

First question have you got weights? and if so what types of weights, free etc?

Last note, stomach fat is the last place where fat will leave from. Its funny because it starts there first and comes off last from there.

I have got a few free weights, maximum weight i have is 20kg

Master your own body weight first before you hit any weights.

thats more than enough, its all about form and make sure when your lifting do 2 seconds up and 2 seconds down.

I highly reccomend scoobysworkshop. Just google it and you will see the link. He has a full training regime from beginners to advanced. Everything he teaches can be done at home without spending money on the gym. Its all good home based training. I highly recommend you also increase your protein intake. I recommend taking in 1.5grams of protein per pound of your body weight. you can google convert kilos to pounds and then calculate yourself how much protein you need to take. Although scoobysworkshop will have everything you need.

As per above, do not move onto free weights until you can lift your own weight. If you can do atleast 10 good slow push ups and pull up then you may move on to light weights

Also skip the 'extra' protein until your the weight traning becomes a regular part of your routine. Even olympic level atheletes only consume 0.8g of protein per pound of body weight. Certainly then 1.5g per pound of body weight for a beginner trainee is too much.

You are doing too much cardio and not eating enough. Your body is going into starvation mode and it's eating your muscles for extra calories. That's why you have skinny arms. No muscle means slow metabolism. That's also why you have extra belly fat. Your body thinks it's starving, so it stores the fat around your abdomen to use in an emergency situation.

Cut down on cardio and concentrate more on lifting. If you still have the same problem then you need to eat more, or change your lifting routine.

Cheers.
