Strength Training and Conditioning for "The Skinny Guy"

I'm 6 feet tall, 180lbs (maybe after Thanksgiving dinner), and I have trouble filling out the shoulders in a "smedium" t-shirt. But that doesn't mean I can't be strong. Don't be confused: this blog is not about how a hard gainer can pack on the pounds. It's unhealthy to put on useless weight, and quite frankly, I haven't figured out how to do it. This is quite simply a detailed account of how I train to be strong, even though I'm built like a 6th grader.

Talk about being completely taxed. Double pressing movements is a killer couplet for me, and my time showed it. I'm starting to be able to keep my core tight with 2 abmats on my HSPU. Time to remove one mat soon.
