As a hardgainer, I like to share my personal experience in how to build a beach body naturally without the use of expensive drugs or supplements. A hardgainer is someone who has a very difficult time gaining weight no matter what that person does. I remember losing weight while eating fast food almost every day, even when I was around 135lbs at 5’7″. The biggest problem with some who gain weight is that they are afraid of eating TOO MUCH, but the funny thing is! they can’t gain a pound!
The first thing you should review is your diet. I’m going to be very blunt here because you’re going to need to eat as healthy as possible if you want that 6 pack to show up. I’ve gone from eating junk food all the time to oatmeal, chicken breast, egg whites, etc. Trust me, it’s torture at first, but you’ll get used to it. If you go the natural route like me, you’ll make sure your diet is solid. You can enjoy a real meal once in a while when you go out with your friends.
Too many people focus too much on exercising. I honestly believe that working out is only 10% of the factor in having a great beach body. I only stick to the bigger muscle building exercises. They are deadlift, squat and bench press. They are excellent for building muscle and strength. I only spend 3 days a week and no more than 45 minutes for each day. The concept of quality over quantity is very important in the gym.
You have to spend most of your time eating and resting. If you keep exercising the same muscle groups over and over again, your muscles won’t recover. The only way for them to grow is to have time to recover. Unfortunately, most people would pay attention to bodybuilding magazines because they have “authority”, and they are also making a lot of money off of people like you.
