Keys To Training For Bigger Muscle Gains
Scrawny, chicken legs, twiggy. There are many names you may be called when you are what is usually termed in bodybuilding circles as a "hard-gainer". I'm naturally tall and lanky. Over the years I was able to take my stick frame of 70 kg at the age of 17, to roughly 98 kg of muscle by the age of 25. The key? Hard, heavy training! In scientific terms "hard-gainers" are usually classified as Ectomorphic, or small boned. To create rippling tides of muscle as an ectomorph requires some of the following training tips: - Keep your workouts short and intense.
- Hard & heavy training is the order of the day.
- Use basic (what is classified as "compound") movements and exercises (e.g. Squat).
- Get plenty of sleep and rest between workouts.
- Aim for balance in your diet, including proper nutrition health suppliments.
- Don't waste time utilizing training regimes of pro bodybuilding heavyweights, it serves no purpose, always keep it simple. (Source: Steiner, B.J. 1999)
Remember, bodybuilding takes time and a concentrated effort on fundamentals , whether you are a hard-gainer or not. Follow the above guidelines and watch yourself grow!
