I lol whenever I hear someone say they're a "hard gainer"

I had a friend who was 140 pounds soaking wet and would claim that he ate a ton of food but never gained weight. Turns out his idea of a huge meal was four slices of pizza lmao. The real reason they don't gain weight is because they eat like birds but think they're eating like a bull. It's physiologically impossible for someone to remain a twig if they start eating 6000 calories per day unless they're like 7 feet tall.

This is true. The same goes for people who say they can't lose weight and think that 4k cals a day is light eating. Frame size and genetics matter though. Some guys are just naturally leaner and look better that way while others look better with the powerlifter look

Dumbest thing anyone ever says. If you're a "hard gainer", eat double everything, I guarantee you will gain weight.

True, but your genetics /build absolutely determines your lifting potential. Have small wrists? lanky build? Then yea you wont be able to put on muscle, weight, etc. nearly as easily. If I have to eat 5k cals for someone else to get same results from 3k then fair to call myself a hard gainer.



Similarly, I spend majority of time lifting but benching 2 plates was a major major milestone that took years. Meanwhile, I ran a sub 5 min mile and sub 19min 5k this summer with no training or focus on running - something in running that's harder to do than the lifting equivalent of a 225 bench. Genetics is everything mate

This is what I was getting at from my earlier comment. I read too much on the internet and thought since I'm pretty tall and have decently broad shoulders I should weigh a lot more than I do and bulked for years. I just can't hold a lot of upper body mass and when I try I feel a lot chittyer. Every part on my body is either average or large for my height except my my wrists. I still have no idea why my wrists are so fukn small. My mom is 5'10"-6' tall woman and her wrists are the same size as mine and my dad is my size and maybe even a little narrower in the shoulders but his hands and wrists are botha lotbigger than mine.

Getting to, and maintaining, an ideal bodyweight takes long term planning, dedication, and willpower.

This is why I never trust fat people. Srs.

Yea I have bulked a few times with mostly success, but like you said getting to 16%bf , 6k cals a day, drinking a 1k protein shake at 6am and again at 9pm, etc. for months is hell. Meanwhile feel slow, gross, fat face, etc.

Have come to accept what my body is good at. Being 10-11% bf, visible abs, ability to do cardio really well and still stronger than 90% of the male population (anyone but serious lifters) isn't a terrible place to be

Strong moron. Its all about genetics. Genetics determines everything and makes everything a variable.

It would be much easier to use your argument if everyone was the same.

You can have people who dont train and dont even watch their diet have physiques just as good as people who train and count macros.

There have been studies where a group of people are forced to suddenly eat 1000 more calories and natural fat ****s gain weight quickly and easily, while some skinny ****ers didn't gain anything. They measured the heat of the individuals breath and discovered that those who don't gain weight, adapt to expel more energy in the form of heat.
Let's see you eat/drink, 1 half gallon of full fat milk, 1 large pepperoni pizza from little caesars, a protein shake made up of- 2 additional cups of full fat milk with 2 scoops of protein,1/2 cup of oatmeal, 2tbsp peanut butter and a banana, then 6oz of peanuts, as well as 2-3cups of cereal with... Guess what? More ****ing milk. I gave up after ****ting blood for so long, but that was around 4,500-5000 calories. Eattiing the exact same **** everyday ****ing blows. 6 months wasted, at least I got to 150 for awhile.

Bone structure definitely matters a lot. My father has very big wrists and has bigger biceps and more jacked forearms than most gymbros, to the point where random strangers would sometimes comment on it. Also stores very little fat in his arms, so he has visible bicep veins even at > 20% BF. He has never set foot in a gym, just a lot of manual labor. I probably inherited my mom's poverty skeleton and cannot carry a single amount of bulk and look good. But I am also two inches taller than my dad.

LMFAO at this beta male trying to shift the argument to bench pressing dumbbells ���������������� �

Post a verifiable video of you squatting 500 lbs and I take a 6month ban.

But if you can't you're gone for 6 months.

That's a full 100+ lbs less than you claim to squat too, frauding Timmy.

Put up or shut up little bitch ���������������� �

Now watch Timmy duck being held to his own bull**** claims ���������������� �

You can already tell he's not trying to back up his nonsense by all the otherBS he's introducing.

Hardgainer = doesn't eat enough, chit training or both.

They often claim they do everything perfectly, even though they have only lifted for a couple months.

Wait so let me get this straight...

Dude SUPPOSEDLY squats 600+, bench presses 140 Lb. dumbbells...

He does all of that...

Only to hide from himself on a bodybuilding site?

Yeah, that makes PERFECT SENSE Timmy.

You're either an alt, or big time fraud (my money is on both).

LMFAO though at you throwing a tantrum when I come around and **** all over your fantasies.

You can sit here and fraud all you want to and maybe others won't say a thing. b

But when I come around get ready to be mad as hell like usual that your delusions are being picked apart like a wounded animal in pirranha water Timmy.

LMFAO picture Timmy in his mom's basement having anxiety attacks right now "quick M. Bison called me out on frauding lifting numbers, I gotta do something, let me search his post hist-nope, that's getting played out, let me find videos of lifters to fraud a- wait gotta be verifiable, oh man let me stop posting here until it blows over, think of a happy place, think of a happy place..."
