| the hardgainer's bodybuilding handbook: The Hardgainer Solution Scott Abel, 2015-01-25 A blueprint for building a better body, gaining muscle, and overcoming your genetics Training for Strength and Training for Muscle Development You've been told, train for strength, and development will come and that heavier is better. These are half-truths at best, and myths at worst. The Hardgainer Solution argues that you train first and foremost for development, and then a certain kind of strength will come. Yes, you will get bigger and stronger on this training program, but true physique development and muscle gain is not about 1RM strength. This program is designed with one thing in mind: gaining muscle and physique development. If you are a hardgainer, you need to gain serious muscle mass before you can focus solely on dieting down, getting leaner or getting shredded or getting ripped. Note that this weight training program does not require you to drink 2 liters of milk every day, or to drink protein shakes all day. You do not need to engage in 4-hour weight training sessions or take steroids. The diet and meal plans included are reasonable and sustainable, and come with guidelines for tweaking and customization. They are what Scott has used with his own clients. What's Included? The background and history behind this program, including its roots in Scott's training sessions with Bill Pearl in the 80s Explanations and introduction to the program's methodology Guidelines for not just what to do when you workout, but HOW to workout effectively A complete breakdown of over 80 individual workouts (plus links to get formatted, printable versions of the workouts) How to keep it alive and stay fresh while staying consistent on the same program Guidelines and formulas for determining your nutritional needs A list of meal plans for different calorie levels The importance of UNDERtraining The Hardgainer Muscle Dilemma Training Volume, Strength, and Recovery Needs The hardgainer dilemma is as follows: as a hardgainer, you need a certain amount of training volume to gain muscle. However, at the same time, as a hardgainer, you also struggle to properly recover both between workouts and within an individual workout. Most weight training and bodybuilding programs for hardgainers fail to address this. Those that do tend to edge towards extremely low volume: a low number of reps, a low number of sets, only 2-3 training sessions per week, and so on. That's just not the way bodybuilders train when their focus is development. To get the most out of your body, you need to train in a way that lets you get the proper volume in a way that allows your muscles to recover and grow. The Hardgainer Solution was designed with precisely this goal in mind. Order the Hardgainer Solution today to get the full program, meal plans, and more |

| the hardgainer's bodybuilding handbook: How to Build Up to 50 Pounds of Muscle the Natural Way Stuart McRobert, 2012 The guidance in this book teaches Course #1. Before anabolic steroids started to infest the bodybuilding world, variations of Course #1 were famous, popular, and responsible for building tons of muscles. But in the 1960s, when the use of steroids became popular among competitive bodybuilders, the popularity of Course #1 began to wane. Since then, the routines most commonly promoted in the bodybuilding world have been those used by physique stars who were genetically gifted for bodybuilding and on steroids. But those routines do not work well, if at all, for most other bodybuilders. This books guidance is founded on the amazing progress that Peary Rader made - around 50 pounds of natural muscle growth following 12 years of failure on other routines. The three primary characteristics of Course #1: 1) It is very effective. 2) It is up to date. 3) It is personalized. |

| the hardgainer's bodybuilding handbook: Pumping Iron Charles Gaines, George Butler, 2022-11-19 WHO ARE THEY AND WHY DO THEY DO IT? –these men who dedicate themselves to building bodies like Hellenistic statues; who crisscross the world competing for titles as grandiose yet as publicly uncelebrated (Mr. America, Mr. Universe, Mr. Olympia) as their gargantuan physiques; whose daily lives are as rigidly defined and regulated by their obsession to mold the ideal body as any other master athlete's is towards perfecting his craft. Yet, rather than the public acclaim that normally follows an athletic triumph, only their fellow muscle men know who they are and know the price they have paid to win their incredible bodies. Novelist Charles Gaines and photographer George Butler have spent the last two years trying to capture the essence of this strange, joyful, exotic world: “We have been to quite a few places tracking bodybuilders, seeing contests and putting together the materials here. If we felt at times a little like 19th-century explorers –like Doughty, perhaps, off trekking through Arabia –it was because we found bodybuilding to be as primeval and unmapped as parts of Labrador. Nobody, we discovered, had been back into it to send a report on what it was like. This struck us then as peculiar, and it still does. |
| the hardgainer's bodybuilding handbook: Build Muscle, Lose Fat, Look Great Stuart McRobert, 2013 Whilst this second edition has the same page count as the first, the book has been revised to bring it completely up to date. In addition to dozens of minor revisions there are also some valuable major changes. Chapter 17, the 50 page chapter at the heart of the book, has been entirely rewritten to reflect the author's six extra years of additional experience and research. This chapter has a totally different approach, teaching readers how to design their own programs. They are given all the tools and understanding they need in order to be able to put the individual pieces together in custom program designs for each person. Chapter 19 has likewise been rewritten as it relates directly to Chapter 17. Several of the most important sections in Chapter 12, detailing the exercise technique, have also been completely revised. Additionally, I made many changes to various sections throughout the book. In all, about 100 pages were changed. Although the first edition may have been the most complete single book on how people with normal genetics and busy lives can transform their bodies without drugs, the second edition is even better. It will make readers into their own expert personal trainers. This definitive guide is for men and women of all ages. And it's for you if you're a beginner or even if you have years of training experience. You will learn: How to train -- a step-by-step program of just two or three workouts a week; How to master exercise technique -- the most complete descriptions on the market; How to avoid new injuries, and heal old injuries -- a new approach; How to build a stronger heart from just 30 minutes of cardio work per week; How to eat for training success, and health benefits; How to lose bodyfat -- an effective, practical, proven method. |

| the hardgainer's bodybuilding handbook: A Man Devoured by His Body, Food and Work Stuart McRobert, 2020-01-15 I'm Stuart McRobert. For 40-plus years I battled with attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that are commonly labeled as symptoms of three psychological disorders--muscle dysmorphia, orthorexia, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). The consequences were grave, and drove me to consider suicide. But I survived, and eventually thrived, and was finally at peace with myself and my life. In this book I explain my success story and an effective strategy for self-care. You may be able to have similar success if you're currently battling with psychological problems--especially if they are to do with your body, eating, perfectionism, or workaholism. My struggles started in earnest when I was 15 years old, in 1973. They had profoundly negative effects on my life. I wasn't dealing with personality quirks. The severity of my problems increased through the 1970s and '80s--from my early teens through my twenties. But I never thought there may be something wrong with my mental health. That I considered suicide during the 1990s and early 2000s should have made me seek help. But I thought seeking help was weakness. I needed to man up, pull myself together, and get a sense of perspective. Those shame-based clich s were first inflicted on me during my upbringing, but they didn't help. There were, however, tremendously good things happening in my life during the decades of mental torment. Here are some of the riches that couldn't make me happy: Since the 1980s I've lived on a Mediterranean island that has a wonderful climate. I have a supportive wife and two children. We own a lovely home. And I work for myself from home and have had success as a writer and a publisher. The scrambling of my brain during the 40-plus years before I started therapy stole my happiness. Finally, in September 2015, when I was 56 years old, I admitted something was profoundly wrong with me. My initial investigation--through the mainstream or medical model--revealed I'd been mentally ill since I was a teenager. I then took responsibility for my mental health problems and their consequences. My therapy started in January 2016. It gave me an alternative perspective on my so-called mental illness. That perspective is a non-medical model, to use my therapist's term. Many millions of people are trapped by mental torment. The physical effects vary, and can devastate the sufferers, those close to them, and society. Countless people self-medicate through drugs (including alcohol and nicotine), unhealthy food, work, or other addictive behaviors. Many sufferers attempt suicide, and some succeed. With the right therapy, people with mental health problems can cope and lead rewarding lives. The therapy I'm referring to has nothing to do with psychiatric drugs and institutions. I experienced it myself with great success. It started through talk therapy with a properly trained and licensed therapist. This book includes my session notes--a real-life case history. After I finished my therapy sessions, my progress continued through what I learned from some life-changing books, which I also explain. What I reveal in this book will help others with their self-therapy. |

| the hardgainer's bodybuilding handbook: Super Natural Strength Bob Whelan, 2011-12-20 Super Natural Strength is a great source of information for anyone who wants real drug-free strength training, without hype, fads, worthless supplements or training advice from steroid users. --Dick Conner, Powerlifting Coach, (Multiple National Champion), Strength Expert -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In an era where trends and training fallacy run ramped, 'Maximum' Bob Whelan has stepped up and provided rock-solid information in his new book, SUPER NATURAL STRENGTH. Bob's candid, no-nonsense approach to training will unquestionably leave an indelible mark on the strength world as he shares his years of experience on all aspects of physical culture. --Fred Fornicola, Strength/Conditioning Coach, Strength Writer/Author -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you ever wondered how much real world experience some authors have when they write articles and books about weight training and weight lifting? Who is that person behind the computer or typewriter? What do they really know about the Iron Game? If you picked up this book, SUPER NATURAL STRENGTH by Bob Whelan, you have definately come to the RIGHT place. --Osmo Kiiha, Editor, The Iron Master ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The one word that best describes Bob Whelan is HONEST. Super Natural Strength is a wealth of information about training the RIGHT WAY. --Drew Israel, Co-Author Iron Nation, Passion for Hard Training ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Super Natural Strength is literally a gold mine of strength training information that is the nuts and bolts of what is necessary for someone to get big and strong.

You can feel the intensity, inspiration, emotion, and commitment to hard, productive training grip your attention like the knurling on your favorite bar. If you were introduced to strength training in a musty cellar that was lit with a single light bulb, a floor covered with paint chips from the corroded stone walls, and accessorized with implements covertly manufactured in the local steel mill, then you possess the pre-requisite mind-set for this truly outstanding work of training science and art.--Ken Mannie, Head Strength/Conditioning Coach, Michigan State University ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUPER NATURAL STRENGTH is a wonderful source of honest information, especially for those who train drug-free.
