If you’re a skinny guy like me (or like I was), all you want to do is to get bigger. You don’t want to get fat, so you want to Build Muscle Mass Quickly.
This as you may know is harder than it looks. People always stressing about how to lose weight, when trying to gain weight Properly is just as difficult.
But have no fear, Fit With Mitch is here.
Here are the three things you MUST do to build muscle mass quickly.
1. Eat 15% over your daily calorie needs (I’m still trying to break this one down into something easier, but that’s what it is)
2. Intense weight training 3 times a week. Doesn’t matter if you do splits or not, just keep track of your results and train with intensity – better yet, get a muscle building program!
3. REST – get plenty of sleep so your muscles can actually grow.
That’s about it – it’s not rocket science, but without a plan, it’s damn near impossible to do. Pick up a great muscle building program that I’ve gone through myself and reviewed and you should be well on your way!
Until Next Time,
Get Big. Get Ripped. Get Fit With Mitch.

Many people try and try, to get abs like the celebs they see on TV or movies. That “300 Workout” had a good run, until people realized that those guys had CGI enhanced abs (ever seen Gerard Butler in any of his other movies??)
The truth is, Perfect Abs don’t exist. There’s no magic ab routine, or ab diet that will shape and form your abs to the image of David by Michaelangelo.
However, you can get a SIX PACK and the best one you can get. Their shape is determined by your genetics, but THEY ARE THERE.
Mine happen to be Off Set and razor shaped, and there’s nothing I can do about it.
Your best bet to get “perfect abs” is to get an ab training program – designed to get that fat off and get our muscles in shape.

Many people ask me what I do for my abs when they see me in the gym. Truthfully, I don’t do much to maintain a washboard.
But the things I do are a bit on the extreme side, so I’ll give you a more plausible version of my workout.
Decline Bench Sit Up: 2 x 10 (with low weights)
Hanging Leg Raises: 2 x 10 (if you can manage it)
Rope Crunch: 2 x 15
Plank: 1 x 60 seconds
This is a great abs workout that will give work your upper, lower, and stability ab muscles. Try this one, and I’m sure you’ll thank me/or curse me later.
Until Next Time,

Vince is the leader in the field of weight training routines for beginners. This concept of Time Under Tension is one that MANY miss out on in the gym and a big reason people don’t see the amount of muscle growth they want to see.
Most gym guys are lifting the weights too fast and are only under tension for 20-30 secs. If this is YOU, I hope you correct yourself.

In this post, I’ll be delivering some facts and fallacies for abs toning which have taken over the industry.
Fallacy #1 Spot Reduction
If you have been around for any length of time, you’ll know that this just isn’t true.
I’m sorry, but you CAN NOT burn fat off your midsection by doing crunches alone.
Yes, it takes more than just That.
Fallacy #2 Lots of Cardio Will Solve The Problem
This is great news for you because you don’t have to be on the treadmill for hours just to burn a few hundred calories.
You can do this in just a few minutes and rev your metabolism up higher as a result.
Fallacy #3 Lots Of Floor Exercises Is The Way
I actually NEVER use floor ab exercises (except for one exercise that no one in the gym but me can do) and I have a better six pack than 99% of the people I see in the gym.
So get off the mat please!
Fact #1 Your Body Burns Fat Holistically
When you go to burn fat, it burns from all around your body. The least resistant places give it up first, followed by the stubborn places.
Which means you may have to be burning fat longer than you thought to get rid of that belly (cause that’s where it usually goes FIRST!).
Fact #2 High Intensity Cardio Is Best
You can burn fat by running on a treadmill or cycling for hours, but why do that when you can get a BETTER result in just 15 or 20 mins.
Intense exercise (e.g. sprints, bodyweight circuits, etc.) followed by a short rest, followed by another intense burst, burn more calories in over days than treadmills or bikes.
Fact #3 High Intensity Weight Training Is Better
Instead of doing crunches for forever, concentrate on
Hanging Leg Raises
Decline Bench Sit Ups
Stability Ball Crunches
Rope Pull Downs
These provide more RESISTANCE which is what your muscles need to Grow.
