You're at the bar talking to a chick.
You tell her that you work out at XYZ gym.
The stunned silence and look of surprise that follow make you feel stupid.
You obviously don't look like you work out because you're still skinny! Want to change this scenario? Don't label yourself You've heard all the terms "Lamborghini metabolism", "hardgainer", "genetically challenged".
Don't accept any of them as reality.
Change your mindset and the rules you follow and make the reality that you desire.
Genetics can make it hard to gain but not IMPOSSIBLE It's convenient to label yourself.
You've worked out for years, eaten all the right foods, and followed all the latest training advice with no results.
Now take a really close look at the reality.
Are your workouts and technique really consistent? Is your diet all that it should be? Is your social life more important than your desire to build the body you desire? Stop making excuses by labeling yourself and step up to the plate.
Embrace a New Perception of Yourself You are what you say you are.
If you say "I'm a hardgainer", you've already failed.
Simply by telling yourself "Hardgainers do not exist", you will be able to bring about the mindset that will establish the changes in your routine and character.
Building Muscle is NOT a Spectator Sport Before you TRY any tactics for putting on weight or building muscle you have to change your focus.
Believe that you can achieve your goal and then give it your whole focus.
Focus on the task of becoming muscular and make your actions match your focus.
Change your title from "hard gainer" to "unstoppable gainer" or "irrepressible gainer".
When your focus is on being successful, you already are!
