How would you define a “hardgainer”? What are the distinguishable characteristics of someone in this category?
In today’s episode, Andrea, Alberto, and Jeff take the classification of “hardgainer” and break it down into three different subtypes: those who don’t eat enough, those who are low responders to resistance training, and those who are near their genetic potential. After making these distinctions, the coaches go through each type of hardgainer one by one giving nutrition and training tips for each type.
Regardless of what stage of your lifting career you are in, this episode contains valuable information for you. If you are new to lifting and are struggling with weight gain, this episode has useful strategies for you. If you think you’ve tried everything to build muscle and nothing is working, this episode is for you. If you’ve been in the iron game for decades and are trying to squeeze the last bit of progress out of your physique, this episode contains information for you. If you fall into any of these categories, join us for this week’s episode: Advice For Hardgainers!
