Frequently Asked Questions

 

Every day I get many different e-mails with all types of questions from all types of people about building muscle and gaining weight. Below I have compiled the most frequently asked questions that I get and answered them to the best of my ability.

If you have a question and it isn't answered below or you are still unclear, feel free to send me an e-mail at the following address: derek_manuel@hardgainers-weight-tips.com

What is a hardgainer?

Basically the definition of a hardgainer is someone with a skinny body frame who has a very fast metabolism which makes it EXTREMELY difficult to gain weight and put on muscle mass no matter what they eat or how hard they train. If you can eat and eat and eat for several days and never gain a pound, then you are a hardgainer. If you have tried several different workout routines and never built any muscle while some one else you know who doesn't work out half as hard as you gain weight and builds muscle, you are a hardgainer.

Is it really possible to gain 20 to 30 pounds of muscle in as little as 8 weeks safely?

Absolutely. Today the bodybuilding industry is filled with so much misleading information that most weight lifters, bodybuilders, or just active weight trainers who want to gain a little weight and build muscle are often mislead on how to train correctly for maximum results. The industry makes it seem like supplements and "advanced" workout machinery are the secret to building a better body. The only significant difference between those who get real results fast and those who don't is correct information, assuming hard work and persistence is applied, and that's exactly what you'll find in this program. Even hardgainers can gain this much muscle weight if they apply the right information, and they have. For those who may build muscle and gain weight easily, you may even expect better results with this workout program.

What's an E-Book?

An E-Book stands for electronic book, meaning the book is delivered electronically and is downloaded right on your desktop within minutes of ordering. That means no shipping charges and immediate delivery! The E-Book is set up in a way that you can either easily read the book right from your computer, or print all or some of the pages out if you wish.

Can females gain weight and build muscle on this workout program too?

Yes! This program is effective for both male and females. The principles, techniques, and concepts in this program are proven to work for females just the same as with males. The only significant difference is that because females have much less testosterone levels then males, potential for muscle mass and bulk is more limited. But for the ladies who wish to gain a little weight and build muscle in all or just the right places, this program is perfect for you too.

Do I have to take any supplements while on this program?

No. This program can work to its full effect without any supplements whatsoever. As long as you follow the meal plans described in the E-Book you will get all of the nutrition you need to build solid muscle and gain weight. Supplements are completely optional, and are only meant to supplement a regular diet and workout routine, not replace it. I get into much greater detail about supplements in the E-book.

What if I don't want to be a bodybuilder or build HUGE muscle everywhere, is this program still right for me?

Certainly! This program can either be a foundation for bodybuilders, strength trainers, of just for those who just want to gain weight and build muscle as fast and efficiently as possible for whatever reason. The great thing about this program is that you can use it for your own personal needs, and there is even a full and comprehensive chapter on how to create your own personalized workout routines to target the specific results you want.

What if I do other sports and activities, will I still gain weight and build muscle on your program while performing these other activities at the same time?

Any outside activity and exercise other then the workout program will burn extra calories and energy needed to build up your muscle and weight gains. This program is meant to build the most muscle mass in the shortest amount of time, and any other physical exercise can limit those gains.

But it's OK, if you must perform other outside activities, we have no choice so we'll make the best of it. For one, make sure you eat PLENTY of extra good food throughout the day, especially carbs and protein since you will be burning those extra calories. Second, make sure you eat a high carb and protein meal or shake immediately after every session; this will limit the muscle and energy loss after those activities.

Third, if you can, try to do the workout BEFORE you any other physical activity for that day. This way you can use the most of your energy in the workout to gain muscle mass rather then what's left of your energy.

Finally, try to get as much rest as possible in-between activities. Your muscles will only recover properly and grow for the next workout when you have gotten enough rest. If at all possible, get as much sleep as you can and take naps throughout the day to get that extra rest.

Remember, if you're a hardgainer and you want to gain weight and build muscle, you must limit as much exercise as you can other then working out. Otherwise no program in the world will have much of an effect. Gaining weight and building muscle requires you get plenty of rest and extra calories of the right kind, especially for hardgainers.
