A lot more people desire to workout in the gym and acquire great, big muscles than ever before.
Just a little while ago, it would have been difficult to find anyone going to the gym for weight lifting.
As we speak however, a good number of men-and even women-train everyday at the gym, weight lifting.
A few people haven't found it difficult to increase their body's muscle mass, but many haven't had any significant results for all their efforts.
It is not that they do not have sufficient drive, or that they do not work hard enough.
In fact, some of these people work and train even harder and longer than most of us.
These people are called hardgainers.
They just have a much, more difficult time increasing their body's muscle mass than most others.
The most important reason they have such a tough time building muscle is that they aren't using an appropriate workout regimen, one which is suited to their peculiar body type.
Many of the training guidelines and advice they use are gotten from their friends, or from magazines; and these are not suitable for them.
Most of these training tips and techniques are more suited to those who can build muscle much more easily.
Our muscles grow when during their recovery period, when they are at rest.
But a hardgainer's muscles take much longer to recover, so they need longer periods of rest and inactivity between workouts.
Many times they are unaware of this and work their muscles as often as others.
This does more harm than good because their muscles do not sufficiently recover before they are stress again.
The resulting overwork of the muscles leads to weakening and even injury.
The only way hardgainers can build their muscles, is by allowing them ample time to adequately recover between training sessions.
Also, they should take care not to overwork their muscles in the gym.
A minimum of three to four hours in the gym weekly is necessary for effective bodybuilding.
A few exercises for each muscle group is also critical.
