Hardgainers = Complainer!

HAHA no really though. How many times in your life have you heard some one tell you I don't get big because I am a hard gainer? What the heck is a hard gainer? Well a hard gainer is some one who has difficulty putting on weight and mass due to a increased metabolism. In other words a natural bag of bones. Also known as an ectomorph body type. Now I have the right to say what ever I want it is my blog so tough if you are a hard gainer and you don't like it.

I too am an ectomorph, see I don't call myself a hard gainer because that too me is a load of crap. You are able to place weight and mass by dieting and working out correctly. Your staples should be the following:

• Protein, Protein and MORE PROTEIN


• Sleep at least 7 - 8 hours


• A balanced diet of protein and complex carbs


• Shorter workout periods

If you tell me that you eat all day long and don't gain weight but you are doing everything right and still get no where, I will say stop right there. Because if you are not gaining or hitting any type of goal you set then something is wrong. Other wise you one would not be complaining about not gaining two you would be boasting about your gains.

Advice/CURE to the complaining hard gainer. Eat right, 6 meals a day (minimum), 7 - 8 hours of sleep. As for training change what you are doing. Work your arms once a week instead of 5 times. Do deadlifts and squats if you don't already. You have to be original. Not every work out that you read in a magazine is the best one out there. What you read here wont be the best routines. Experiment, that is how you learn. How do you think the Mr. Universe's got to where there are? Sure almost all took steroids or some other supplements but supplements don't give you mass. Eating right, sleeping and training do it. There is always a booster out there so please, don't fall victim to the hails of a mirical supplement that will increase your test. growth by 400%. Just read, sleep, eat and lift properly and you will in time, because it takes time, gain mass and strength.

Are You Curling Too Much?

Well, chances are you curl too much. Here is an easy way to tell. When you curl make sure you keep your wrists straight. Majority of all males (because it is in our nature) lift a large amount during a curl because we want to impress not only those around us but ourselves as well.

If you find yourself bending your wrist during the curl make clear to your self that you drop you weight load a few pounds. The main reason behind keeping your wrist straight is the stress that it plays on your wrists and it takes away from the development of your biceps. You will read in many books that you need to bend the wrist others say keep em' straight. I strongly recommend to keep them straight.

• Straight wrists have less pain during and after the set
• Straight wrists allow more the bicep to work harder

There you have it, so remember you may look like a bad ass curl 50lbs but when you are bending your wrists you are robbing yourself of awesome development.
