If you are reading this article then you are more than likely already aware what a hardgainer is. If you are nor sure what it means then really it just refers to a person that has extreme difficulty increasing their weight be it fat or muscle! Often this is said to be caused by that person having a fast metabolism.

Metabolism or metabolic rate refers to the rate at which your body burns up the calories it has taken on whilst performing the natural reactions of the body. If your metabolism is particularly slow then it will be easier to put on fat tissue as you are not burning up as many calories at rest as someone with a faster metabolism.

For muscle mass building we have to develop an extra amount of calories however for hardgainers this can be hard as they have a high metabolic rate which rapidly burns up calories. So, what can hardgainers do to counter this? Here is our how to build muscle up guide for hardgainers:

1) Keep the cardio workouts to a minimum. Aerobic workouts will clearly consume calories during the exercise but will also increase your metabolic rate so that you continue to burn off calories at a faster speed even when resting. This you do not want if you are trying to create an excess of calories.

2) Eat for two people! You must eat lots of calories. You can try to do this by simply increasing your portions two fold from that which you would normally eat. Use oversized bowls so it is impossible to forget this.

3) Consume 5-7 meals each day. This is critical to build muscle mass. Your body can only absorb a certain amount of nutrients at anyone sitting so spreading out the meals is also a good thing and ensures that your body is never waiting for its next meal. consuming 2-3 meals/snacks a day is said to slow down the bodies metabolic rate which is true but that does not mean it is something that you should do. Why? Because your body goes into starvation mode releasing certain chemicals that are counter productive to muscle building especially for hardgainers.

4) Use supplemements. Take advantage of some of the excellent meal replacement powders and protein shakes that are available. These contain large amounts of precisely the things you need. Great times to take them are just after training and just before bed as these are times when your body is going to need the nutrients most.

Quit performing exercise movements that are not mult joint exercises like concentration curls, only do compound exercises. Your program should include: Squats, dead lifts, pull ups and bench presses. These will help build the muscle mass that you want in all the correct places on your body in the correct proportions.

6) Stop doing so many sets. Muscle growth can be sparked by doing just 3 sets per muscle group in short 40 minute intense workouts. More generally does not equal success for hardgainers! Stimulate growth then leave the gym as soon as possible and asve your calories for supporting muscle growth.

7) Drink ample amounts of water. It is required by the body for so many different muscle building chemical reactions that you really can not skimp on this one, not at all. Take on board water often.

There we have it, try those tips out. Be persistent with these for a couple of months before your judge them. Just go for it? I hope you found our how to build muscle up tips useful.
