You may have worked hard in the gym lifting weights until you were exhausted.
You may have tried your best to increase your calories and protein as much as possible to force your body to build muscle.
You may even have spent your precious money on the latest supplement fads to see if they would magically deliver results.
If you've done all this, and you still don't see the results you want, don't give up hope.
The most important thing you can do is to stop calling yourself a hardgainer.
Whether you actually use this word is not important.
Chances are you've used this idea as an excuse for your failures, and these excuses have kept you from achieving the muscular physique you desire.
Is there really such thing as a hardgainer? Well yes, if you mean a person who has a more difficult time building muscle.
The problem is that by using this term you end up believing that there's no way that you can build muscle.
It doesn't matter if others are more genetically gifted than you are.
You may have to work a little harder, but you can still achieve a more muscular appearance.
Your words and attitudes have more power than you may think.
If you label yourself as a hardgainer, your mind begins to accept this and you have a hard time believing that you can overcome this.
The truth is that any healthy individual can build significant amounts of muscle with the right program.
If you can drop the negative title and believe that you can achieve your goals, then you're ready for a comprehensive muscle building program.
