Wow this page must have been written by a ""hardgainer" , I think that probably 50% of the people who think they are so are not training eating right and hard enough , also there is not base for the HIT roccomindation since if someone really isn't on his groove to gain muscle higher frequency might be thier thing. from my expiriance most hardgainers are "bulking" with the daily calorie intake of an anorexic girl and do too much aerobics that's why they end up being 120 pounds.... aerobic excersise is important even while bulking for health and recovery benefits but when you cant gain weight you should eat more. True hard gainers would be thoose who get fat on thier bulking seasons and burn muscle on the cutting period , although training could be the case too.
Perhaps they are hardgainers because they do not follow a proper diet or exercise. I used to be 125 pounds but I am now 150. After roughly one year of training, I am 150. I can still gain weight (muscle) if I choose too. The one fact I can agree too is there is a limit to how much weight one can lift for any exercise but not how much one can gain. One has to eat accordingly to their average weight to gain weight. I believe the term "hardgainer" is more subjective than objective. Perhaps gaining 10 lbs is satisfactory to someone. To others it could be 30lbs. VGray 22:07, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
25lbs of muscle in a year did you check your bodyfat percentage, you may find you've just added 20lbs of fat and only 5lbs of muscle!!
