Advice For Hardgainers

http://www.scoobysworkshop.com
Taylor Lautner gained 30lbs of muscle in 6 months, its this kind of news that incorrectly sets peoples expectations and causes everyone to think that they are 'hardgainers'! First of all Taylor was in puberty when this weight gain occurred, even without weightlifting its not unheard of for a teen to have a growth spurt of this magnitude. In puberty, the bones grow, the muscles grow, and everything grows - without touching a single weight. If you couple a large natural growth spurt, raging teen hormones, and weightlifting, its possible to get a transformation naturally like the one Taylor Lautner had - but its not normal! Maybe 1% of teens can do this!

Second point, remember that where there is gobs of money to be made, there is a temptation to cheat to get the best body. How many athletes have been caught cheating with steroids like Barry Bonds did? In hollywood, the temptation for actors to cheat to get ripped muscular physiques can be greater than it is for athletes because there is even more money involved.Are you a hardgainer? Trouble packing the muscle on? Are you an ectomorph? Need to bulk up for football? This is another video in my Beginning Bodybuilding series that discusses how to gain muscle, how quickly you can expect to gain muscle, and how to measure your progress.

I failed, many people are missing the main point of this video so I have disabled comments. My main point is that if you can gain 10lbs muscle in a year, you are not a hardgainer - your are normal! I didnt say there are no exceptions to this rule. Teens in growth spurts can certainly gain *weight* faster than this but they would whether they were lifting weights or not. Just because Taylor Lautner was able to gain 30lbs in 6 months doesnt mean its possible for everyone, its NOT!!!!

this video was a revelation to me. i don't think i've seen anywhere else where bodybuilders would actually say what is realistically possible in terms of gains per month or yearly.

the bodybuilding magazines have really distorted reality to sell products.

salt dosnt make you retain water it does the opposite

there is really no shortcut to getting the body u want, u just have to work hard

and eat helthy, there will always be days when u want to stay at home,

but if u can push yourself over those bad habbits, u will deff start seeing results

[ameenuk2000]

@tronvex Best thing to do is try exercies which give you maximen resistance at full contraction like instead of bicep curls(which gives no resistance at the top) try palms up pulldowns. or single arm concentration curl. not that it will do any magic but it will give you abit more out of your workout. most ppl overtrain the arms cause they are involved in most exercies so makesure you get plenty of rest between workouts. its takes time to recover from a workout and even more to build muscle.

[ameenuk2000]

@PassRusher74 you can't do anything about it but to keep working out their is no such exericse to work only on the width. only the muscle will decide(depands on your genetic)how it will gonna grow. Some ppl might give you some suggestions about certain exercies but if you add those exercises with your ongoing arm exercises you will endup overtraining.

U will be exhausted and will feel the

pump n see results in 6-8 weeks. Remember scoobys technics it's all

about GOOD FORM!!! right diet, and cardio. Make sure u complete EACH

sets even if u manage 9 reps, stop and then finish the remaining reps

and carry on! Good luck u Hard Gainers ;-)
