"Hard Gainers"

Dedicated to those who have a tough time gaining weight and mass. I was one of these unfortunate individuals as well until I figured out the balance. It is a very simple science. Basically the reverse of what you would do if you were trying to lose weight. To gain weight...You have to double your Carbohydrate and protein intake along with changing your reps to lower numbers and work with heavier weights. Here is the game plan.

Basically your diet is going to be the biggest challenge. Hitting the weights is the easy part. You have got to up the protein and amount of meals per day  and be good with your optimum timing.  Optimum timing means this. After a workout your body is in a recovery state and is begging for proteins and nutrients to start the rebuilding process. This is the Optimum time to really get the most out of the workout you just did. Feed the body within this time for the best results.

Next is the workouts. What you want to do is go with heavier weight and lower reps. Somewhere between 6 and 10. This is actually what most professionals call the bulking process. You are lifting heavy and doing less reps. This really fatigues and tears down the muscles dramatically.

So with the combination of a great diet and hard weights, you can gain the weight that you need.
