The hardgainer Workout Introduction
What Makes an effective Hardgainer Workout.
As opposed to non hardgainers, our muscles contain more fast twitch muscle fibers, which respond positively to higher reps and less time in the gym. One of the biggest issues with our body type is that our muscles tend to breakdown very quickly and therefore it is absolutely crucial that you make sure you get adequate rest in between workout sessions.
Alright so let's talk about some workout tips that will have you increasing your muscle mass very quickly.
Hardgainer Workout Tips
What you Need to make sure you get the most out of your workout
Unfortunately for hardgainers, your muscle tissue tends to tear and breakdown at a much faster rate than a non hardgainer, you must be very careful about how much time you are spending at the gym, the more time spent at the gym working out, the more likely you will overtrain your muscles.
Through numerous studies it has been shown that a your body responds the best with workouts that last between 45min and an hour.
Compound Lifts
This is one of the key Tips to gaining a lot of mass, with compound exercises you are targeting a more broad range of muscle groups and muscle fibers all at once, this is very important for you because since your hardgainer routines are time sensitive, we want to hit the most muscle fibers possible, in the time frame that we have.
Longer Tension Time = Better Results
Because your muscles are made up of mostly fast twitch fibers. They tend to respond very well to longer tension times. This is why it is very beneficial and effective to include things like supersets, dropsets, and partials into your workouts. You can also lift explosively on the positive part of the rep, and then lower the weight very slowly to the starting point.
The above lifting variations, will help to prolong the time that your muscles are under stress, in doing this you can greatly increase the effectiveness of workout.

Hardgainer Workout Exercise Examples
Powerful Hardgainer Muscle Builders
Here are just a few examples of some very powerful, effective compound exercises.
Barbell Bench Press
The bench press is one of the most popular and commonly used exercises in the gym today, both by non hardgainers and hardgainers.
The Barbell bench press mainly focuses on your lower and mid chest, while also hitting your triceps,forearms, and shoulders.
Clean and Press
This is by far one of the most anabolic exercises in the gym today. This exercise is not as common or as popular as it should be. The clean and press is actually a bunch of exercises thrown into one smooth movement.
In just one repetition this exercise hits your calves,legs, back, biceps, shoulders, forearms, traps, and triceps. This is an excellent exercise for mass.
Barbell Leg Squat
The barbell leg squat is a very powerful exercise that really puts the pressure on your leg muscles, Studies have shown that using exercises such as the squat tend to help release more natural testosterone, which of course means better results for you.
This exercise targets the legs, but also works the lower back, and gluteus maximus and minimus muscles.

- I think weight loss needs to come first if one is obese because the bones could not carry the body mass. Here you get additional info http://j.mp/9LwsFm

- ive been doing alot of research on hardgainer workout routine and diet, and im currently trying to put togather a workout plan for myself. i was wondering should i stick to nothing more than compound exercises that work the whole body. or can i split it up in three days putting different compound exercises in for each day mixed with some isolation exercises?

- Hey billy actually you are doing fine with these exercises, each of these exercises hits a different part of the back which is good, I would even throw in 2 sets of shrugs as well.

- hi,
I m from Pakistan. and i m hardgainer i think. 32yr old. 6'.3" height and 79 t 80kg weight. i want to touch 90kg to 94kg. i did a lot of workout routines in past and couple of suppliments but got some weight and when leave the suppliments it go off. and i got muscular but not gain much weight. i dont wand muscles like bodybuilders. i just want bulky or heavy. so to bulk up is my aim. tow yr ago a trainer on internet told me and i read some website and found that i have to train heavy and v less. they told me only do compound exercises and for chest do only heavy bench press. nothing else. for shoulder only front press. and for arms only barbel curls. and 6 meals a day. i did 6 meals with suppliments but no much gain. but i did not yet focus on only compound exercises.Then i leave the gym and workout for two yrs. Now again i want to go gym and try to do only bench press and some compound exercises. i made a programe/routine for me.
monday= 5 sets of 12. 10 ,8 ,6,3 reps only and one compound exercise for my triceps.
tuesday= rest
wednesday= 5 sets of Pull ups (chin ups wide grip) for back
and barbel curls 5 sets for arms
Thursday= shoulder only front press 5 sets
Friday= rest
saturday= again chest
and so on.
i dont want to do legs and abdominal cos i just like bulky. and i do know squats and deadlifts r for grouth harmons but now i m tired off these exercises and thses exercises r full of injury chances.
please read my routine and tell me is it good. and please send me email please and do me this favour. so i can start my routine again after 2 years. i m not new in bodybuilding.
male31for@yahoo.com
Sorry i m weak in english so dont mind if i made mistakes.

- Hey Basil one of the most important things when it comes to a hard gainer and building muscle is nutrition. Actually I would go as far as to say that nutrition is 75% of the battle. Because your bodytype burns calories like there is no tomorrow you have to make sure you are getting a surplus of calories from good clean foods. Now you also have to keep in mind that your muscles will only grow if they feel the need to. This means that each and every workout has to add a little more intensity then the previous workout. Intensity could be an increase in weight, or reps, sets, or even changing the exercise. It is important to stick to compound exercises, this is because these exercises target more muscle fibers at once. The more muscle fibers worked the more muscles can grow. There are not set exercises that are best as long as your exercises are compound movements, you are eating properly, and you increase intensity each workout then you will grow.
