6 Facts All Hardgainers NEED to Know:
FACT: Training Like a Bodybuilder Doesn’t Work
These guys use close to $100,000 per year worth of steroids and have better muscle building genetics than 99.9% of the planet. They succeed in spite of what they do, not because of it. Following their workouts will only lead to soreness and frustration.
FACT: Pumping Up Your Muscles With High Reps Doesn’t Work
Pumping up your muscles with lots of sets and reps will do NOTHING to help you build real muscle. Getting a pump is nothing more than a temporary swelling of the muscles due to blood being trapped inside of them.
FACT: Your Natural Testosterone Production is Dropping
In 2012 men have an average testosterone level that is 15-50% lower than 50 years ago! The workouts you are doing right now and the foods you’re eating are probably making this problem even worse, killing any chance you have of building serious muscle.
FACT: 99% of Supplements Are Utterly Useless
I’ve wasted close to $60,000.00 on supplements and none of them did a damn thing to help me build muscle and gain weight. That’s because the owners of these companies are blatantly lying to you. Most of what they are selling is complete garbage.
FACT: You MUST Cycle Your Strength Training Workouts Properly
You need an optimal combination of volume, frequency and intensity in your program in order to elicit the fastest muscle gains. But too much or too little of any of these and you won’t make any progress at all.
FACT: The “Muscle Confusion” Principle Doesn’t Work
Trying to “keep your muscles guessing” and doing something different every time you train prevents the body from ever having a chance to adapt and grow. To build muscle you need a scientifically mapped out program which allows progress to be tracked on a daily basis.
