It will be much easier and quicker for you to reach your goal of getting big if:

• You get help and support from other like-minded people.
• You think about your goal (constructively, deeply, and vividly) more often than anything else.

How do you get that? Easy:

• Start a thread on popular bodybuilding forum like forum.bodybuilding.com. The thread will be your journal throughout your journey toward reaching your goal.
• Start a blog offering your own tips and thoughts on training

Why a thread on a forum?

• As a newbie to training, you should start a thread on one of these forums instead of a blog. This way, you will immediately get lots of attention from experienced bodybuilders and avid visitors of the forum. Just clearly state your goals, your plan, and ask people to join your journey. Soon you will get valuable feedbacks on your workout program, your meal plan, and just about everything pertaining to training.
• You are to keep posting new entries to the thread regularly (daily or at least 3-4 times a week). You will talk about your progress, any problem you may have, or any thought or tip regarding training you may have come up with. This way, you will think about training on a daily basis. More importantly, the act of writing everything down on your thread makes sure that you are thinking about training seriously. After all, you are writing to the public, not on your secret diary.
• It often happens that people with the same goal will engage in your thread. They will motivate you, give you valuable information that you may have missed, and best of all, make you accountable.

Why a blog?

• As you get bigger and leaner, your knowledge of training also increases tremendously. Your level of experience is now very valuable to many people. A thread is no longer the relevant medium. With a blog, you have more freedom regarding the topics of your writing. Also, you can categorize all your posts, choose your own theme for the blog, and become even more serious about your entries.
• As an ectomorph, you will have to lead a unique but healthy lifestyle for as long as you want to keep your hard-earned muscle. I’m talking about years and even decades of hard work lying ahead. It is a part of your life now–and a big one it is. Therefore, why not make it more meaningful? After all, you can learn valuable lessons about life from just about anything, provided that you pay attention and always be curious. Therefore:
• A blog is the perfect medium. You can still post daily entries with thoughts on training, but now on a rather abstract level. From training, you have learned how to achieve any goal in life, how to get things done quickly and easily, how to stay motivated, how to inspire other people, etc. So please, share it with the world. Share it with your very own blog!
• Your blog will make you accountable and keep you thinking about training. Coz believe me, it doesn’t take much to NOT think about eating healthy, resting fully, and lifting heavily. And just like that, you will lose so much progress that costs valuable time and money. Take this blog for example: 3 posts a week. Sharing with the world my own perspective on training. And in the process, I have learnt so much more than I could have imagined at the start while keeping a good focus on training.

So take action. What are you waiting for? Go to a forum and start a thread. Or if you are more experienced, go to Word Press and create a blog. It will be one of the best decision you’ve made in a while.
