A Gym Exercise Routine for Hardgainers that Actually Works

I spent some time in a post yesterday explaining how the term "hardgainer" is often a fallback for anyone who has trouble putting on weight. I honestly believe that anybody can build muscle mass, and if you think that you are a "true" hardgainer, do me a favor and stick to this gym exercise routine, then tell me you haven't gained anything.

As always keep your food intake up while you are doing the following 3 day a week workout, and don't try to lift more than you can handle. Check it out:

The "rep goal" listed for the following exercises is the total reps you should shoot for out of 3 sets. Remember that. When the rep goal says 25, that's 25 reps split between 3 sets. You might want to aim for 10, 10, and 5.

Now, here's the full body hardgainer workout routine you've been waiting your whole life for.

Squats: Rep goal-25
Deadlifts: Rep goal-15
Bench press: Rep goal-25
Overhead press: Rep goal-25
Dumbbell rows: Rep goal-25
Barbell curl: Rep goal-25
Dumbbell bench press: Rep goal-25
Barbell rows: Rep goal-25
Dumbbell curl: Rep goal-25
Calf raises: Rep goal-45
Weighted situps: Rep goal-45
Side bends: Rep goal-30
20 rep squats: Rep goal-20

Once you are able to hit the assigned rep goal in a maximum of 3 reps, add 10 more pounds of weight for that exercise.

You should be doing this 3 days a week on nonconsecutive days for best results. And don't miss the eating plan for hardgainers to make sure you maximize that muscle gain.
