Hardgainer? Need Muscle?

Over at the Hardgainer Manifesto (full disclosure: I own, run, and manage the site), I’m selling a special report I wrote specifically to give the hardgainer all he or she needs to know to finally start putting on weight and building muscle. The report is brief, only costs $20, but most importantly, it gives you specific exercise routines, meal plans, supplements that work, and some other stuff that’s important to hardgainer training.

I’ve written a lot about hardgainers. It’s kind of natural — I spent 20 years trying to crack the code for muscle development for the most difficult trainee I know — ME!

Yep, I spent my entire teens and twenties figuring it all out. The muscle mags did me no good, the guys at the gym didn’t help (they tried, but they were using all the same techniques the mags prescribed), and working out really hard didn’t do any good at all. Eating like an elephant didn’t work for me, either.

In fact, you might say all of that did more harm than good!

When I finally “got it,” I put on weight like a newborn bear. I gained over 60 pounds my first year on the program. Once it clicked, I was able to put on weight almost at will.

And it’s not hard, once you see how it works.

That’s it for my “sales pitch.” Head over to the Hardgainer Manifesto where you can read all about it.
