CapitalKarate Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 What do you mean... is there any hope for hard gainers? Please elaborate so we can help.

JusticeZero Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 What exactly is a "hard gainer" and why are people so obsessed with gaining mass? Mass is simply the most useless thing to focus on gaining in that entire field of practice.

Radok Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Hardgainers can gain strength easier than they gain mass. I would focus on increasing your powerlifting total, because once you get strong enough, it becomes easier to gain mass. If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no point. No point in what, you might ask? there's just no point.Many people seem to take Karate to get a Black Belt, rather than getting a Black Belt to learn Karate.

In repsonse to justice zero, admitedly, i want to gain mass for aesthetic reasons mainly and i want to look how much i weigh rather than jus skin and bones.

glockmeister Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Ok here goes, I have been lifting for awhile and if you want to pack on mass...then you have got to eat eat eat. lower your reps. Use a weight that you can get no more than 6 but no less than 3. I always tried to keep my routine more of a powerlifting routine. I would do deadlift, squat and bench on the same day three times a week. Make sure you get plenty of sleep as well, the key is nutrition and sleep, otherwise lifting wont do you much good...So many people lift like crazy, but then don't eat near enough. You didnt give much info as to what body type you are, but if you are someone who has a heck of a time gaining. then you need to up your calorie intake..what is your average intake per day? also what do you normally eat in a day? without this, it's hard to help you.Stick to high protein foods as well, Chicken, lean beef, fish and eggs.I was eating 7 small meals a day when I was doing alot of heavy lifting.How many times a day do you normally eat..Give some feedback...

CapitalKarate Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 You don't want to add mass, read the trial journal on here crossfit.com Joshua Brehm-When you're not practicing remember this; someone, somewhere, is practicing, and when you meet them, they will beat you.

glockmeister Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Having more mass isnt going to hurt anything..in the past year and a half I have put on almost 25 lbs with a mixture of diet and weight training. It hasnt slowed me down or anything. and actually it helps compliment my fighting styles. "You know the best thing about pain?
