Bulking Up For A Hardgainer

Hardgainer Bulking Tips

Gaining weight isn't that difficult, it just takes persistence and the right approach.

On the other hand, it can also be extremely difficult if you don't know what you are doing.

I was around 18 years of age when I started weight training, I Was 125 PoundS. As if being skinny wasn't bad enough, I was also short! As with most people, I just started weight training because I wanted to get bigger.

In the beginning I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I was very impatient and expected gains overnight. But luckily, I was hungry enough to stick with it.

What I thought was slow, I would later find out wasn't bad at all!

In a year and a half my weight went up to 170 pounds, that is almost a 50 pound weight gain!

If you are wondering how I did it, please keep reading!

Almost all traditional sources tell you that junk food is bad for you. Here are some quick facts:

• Most hard gainers can't eat enough 'clean' complex carbs to place their bodies in a caloric overload.

• In some cases it is medically beneficial. Did you know that people with Cystic Fibrosis experience extreme weight loss? In hospitals they are fed chocolate bars and chips.

• To make it worse, some hard gainers are trapped in physically demanding jobs that burn a tremendous amount of calories. You need to shock your body in the beginning.

• Bulking up in this fashion is a temporary solution only. Eventually your body will adapt and get used to what you are doing. You then follow a more 'regular' bodybuilding diet.

Of course, you don't eat only junk foods. That would be counterproductive to what you are trying to achieve.

You need to have the correct balance of protein and other complex carbs such as whole wheat bread, rice and bran muffins for example.

You then adjust by what your body can handle and also by your waistline. When you finally get a grip on your metabolism you then slow down accordingly.
