What’s are some healthy and efficient ways to maximize endurance and muscle growth if you’re tall and very slim?

  3. Drink a lot of water. Eat quality foods like proteins, carbs, and fats. Take creatine. Drink water. Get quality sleep (at least 8 hours). Take whey protein (if you don’t get enough through food). Have a designated meal plan with at least 3 meals. Exercise for resistance training and focus on progressive overload. Cardio (HITT/LISS). DRINK WATER.

  4. Eat a caloric surplus with enough protein (1g protein per 1lb body weight per day is a commonly cited “ideal” to shoot for). Do cardio for endurance, lift weights for building muscle. Plenty of programs out there, check out Starting Strength or Stronglifts5x5.

  5. Alternate between strength training days and cardio days. Diversify your cardio with length/intensity/exercise. Diversify your strength reps/sets. Superset really helps endurance as you essentially never rest completely

  6. Eat more food, lift properly, and get plenty of sleep. Exactly what everyone else does.

  8. Protein shakes, helathy diet, plenty of sleep and water.
    You might want to focus on one of the two, endurance or muscle growth since achieving both is not impossible.but not easy either.

  10. Endurance and muscle growth are two different things. You can train both, but if you’re just starting, I’d focus on one.

    Bulking is usually how people start because functional strength is more useful in everyday life, though sometimes people only care about what they look like, so endurance is fine for that end.

    To bulk, you need to increase your caloric intake and lift heavy with fewer reps. So increase your weights to your exercises such that instead of doing 8-10 reps per set, you’re doing 3-5. Your body needs to get used to pushing and pulling heavier weights to get stronger.

    For endurance, it’s all about picking a weight you’re comfortable with and burning out.
