Hardgainer Muscle - Want it? Then Get it!

There is no doubt about it, trying to bulk up and build an impressive muscular body, with a hardgainer's bodytype can be absolutely one of the most frustrating things to accomplish. I can say with absolute confidence that we have really ended up with the short end of the stick. But do not give up if you are willing to do whatever it takes you can and will build that impressive physique you want.

Look here's the deal, I am a hardgainer myself, and I have over 2 years spend thousands of dollars on different products, supplements, trainers etc. I would assume that a lot of you are in the same boat as I once was, but there is hope, you can succeed.

Just remember that Less is More 

Who knew the old saying was talking about us hardgainers

Alright so heres the scoop on gaining a massive amount of hardgainer muscle. Our bodytype (ectomorph), has been genetically programmed to have certain features, and physical traits.

Unfortunately one of these traits is that our muscles breakdown fairly quickly, and take a longer time to heal then a non hardgainer(mesomorph). It is because of this reason that when working out studies have proven that hardgainers get much better results with shorter workout sessions.

Experts suggest that you should keep your hardgainer workout sessions to around the 45 minute to 1 hour mark. You should always allow an adequate amount of time for healing as well, this will help you to avoid overtraining, which will actually cause you to lose muscle.

More Stimulation mean More hardgainer Muscle 

Thats right the more muscle fibers you can hit at once the more muscle you will get

Numerous Studies on weight lifting exercises have been done, and these studies show that, exercises that focus on more than one muscle group at a time, has a more anabolic effect on the muscles.

These exercises are considered to be compound movement exercises, These types of exercises are perfect for the hardgainer as they hit the most amount of muscle fibers in the shortest amount of time.

Some examples of very effective compound exercises would be exercises like:

  • Barbell Bench Press

  • Clean and Press

  • Military Press

  • Barbell Squat

  • Barbell Back Row

Hardgainer Muscle can't Build with Nothing 

Just like a car cannot run without gas, you cannot build muscle without proper nutrition

This really applies to everybody who is trying to build muscle, and size. However it is especially important for the hardgainer and I'll tell you why. Unfortunately not only do you have to contend with muscles that breakdown quickly and take longer to heal a hardgainer's body also has a ripping fast metabolism.

This basically means that your body burns through food like crazy, therefore it is very important that you are feeding it enough to keep your body's nutrients and energy stores topped up so that it can effectively build and repair muscle.

Experts say that it is not uncommon for a hardgainer to need between 3000 and 6000 calories a day, when they are trying to build muscle. Also remember that food is not all the same, you should be following a 50% carb, 25%protein and 25% fat ratio, This ratio has been shown to maximize your body's ability to gain muscle.

I can guarantee you right now that if you are not getting the proper nutrition, you will never succeed in gaining muscle and ultimately getting that muscular physique you want.
