Hardgainer Workout

When it comes to a hardgainer workout, less is always more. Hardgainers by nature require much more rest and recovery time then the average person. This is why we see so many hardgainers train for month after month and year after year on long bodybuilding type workouts only to end up looking the same as when they started.

One very important key you must follow as a hardgainer is abbreviated workouts. It is much more effective to spend a good 45 to 75 minutes working hard on 4 to 5 of the most basic compound exercises 2 to 3 days a week maximum then 10 different exercises everyday 4 to 6 days a week.

A true hardgainer workout program will focus on exercises like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, bent-over barbell rows, weighted pull-ups, and shoulder presses. Focusing on just a few of these for 2 to 3 solid hours a week TOTAL will put MUCH more gains in terms of muscle, weight, and strength then any drawn out "advanced" bodybuilding program can.

If the majority of your workouts are isolation exercises then you are doomed from the beginning. No hardgainer will gain an ounce of weight or muscle spending hours and hours on the millions of variations for bicep curls and and tricep presses.

Put effort into bench presses, squats, and bent-over rows in your hardgainer workout, then you'll be on to something. You will not only develop you smaller muscles like like your biceps and triceps, but more importantly you'll be developing your larger muscles which in result will STIMULATE growth in the secondary muscles.

There's a whole science explaining why and how this works, but it's not neccessary to learn all that noise.

You don't have to know how or why electricity works, but you know every time you flip your light switch you lights will come on. Well, trust that every time you put in good quality hard work and consistency into the major compound exercises in your hardgainer workout, you'll start to see much better gains then before.

Hope this helps,
