Hardgainer

Great to see you back!!! Enjoy and leave comments.

Don’t you hate it when you have a workout partner and they are increasing in size and weight and you don’t seem to be keeping up? Or they are adding weight every 2 to 3 weeks to their workouts and you are still struggling with the same weight you already have?

Well my friend, you most probably are a hardgainer, that’s all. A hardgainer is a person genetically predisposed to have trouble putting on weight no matter what they eat and also putting on muscle when they follow the basic workout advice from the crowd. You need some hardgainer workout tips.

Don’t worry, its not the end of the world. You just have to make some adjustments to your workouts and your lifestyle to overcome your genetics. Easily done with the right plan and attitude. First thing to do is to stop doing what you are doing now and make some changes.

One of the first things to do is to change up your workouts in a dramatic way. We want to wake up your body and get your hormones and testosterone pumping. A simple technique is instead of doing a few sets of heavy weights switch it to a few sets with a 20 to 30 repetition count.

This will shock your muscles into growing. Add them to the end of your workout and then next week add them to the beginning. Change is good, especially when weight lifting. Your body had been designed to adapt to change and plateau, mixing things around overcomes that.

Another thing that is extremely important is to not do the same exercise all of the time. We need to add new exercises to the mix. This uses different muscles and also it uses the same muscles at a different angle, which is different to the body so it wants to grow.

Hardgainer workout training requires you to be diligent about not resting too long between sets. You need to keep the blood flowing and the pressure on if you want to get past your hardgainer tendencies. Too little rest is bad also so strive for about 45 to 60 seconds between sets.

Just because you are working to get a bigger body doesn’t mean all of your exercises have to be with weights. Every once in a while throw some push-ups and some pull-ups in the routine, or do hand stand push ups. You will be amazed how hard these are even though you are stronger.

But the most crucial part of the hardgainer workout tip that I can give you is actually about your diet. You have to make major adjustments here since your resting metabolism is faster than most people. You must be getting more carbohydrates and protein than the average person that is trying to gain weight and strength.

Supplements are very important for the hardgainer. You are processing your food faster so you need to replenish it with supplements to make up for the difference. You couldn’t eat enough to get your protein needs without supplements. So if you want to grow you must take supplements.

I don’t know what you have heard about building muscle but the most important thing, well, after you’ve actually worked out, is to get plenty of rest, and I mean sleep. You grow your muscles when you are sleeping. My hardgainer workout means getting at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night and so should yours.
