Jeff, I love your stuff about HardGainers. That's me. I'm in my sixty's and this is the 6th time I have picked up weights.
I don't gain weight. Not muscle. Not fat. (Well, not much fat. I was up to 206 last year (6'2-) before I picked up the weights again) Intermittent fasting has given me control over my body weight (now down to 180 lbs. BMi =23. 0.
Intermittent fasting also gives you a natural way to boost hormones. After you have cleared the colon (about 16 hours fasting, re-feeding becomes a hormone stimulant. Specifically, a HGH stimulant. Cool eh?
Could you look into this and tell me if it might be useful for old, skinny, non-athletic guy's?
(BTW Jeff, you are the best. The best on the internet. Maybe the best in the whole wide world. Thanks for sharing your smarts)

He's twisting with the dumbbells' because he's working on the short head aka -The Peak- of the bicep. Those are a variation of a curl(s) called Supination curls. If you want that bicep peak like the classic back in the day greats like Arnold those are the ones you want to do, and the bicep in all of it's hyped glory is just a small part of the arm. What's really important are them triceps. Triceps not only make ur arms look bigger, and feel stronger. They are crucial for when u have to bench a lot of weight, pull/chin up, do a shoulder OH Press, e. t. c. One tip that Jeff here forgot to mention is to focus on Time Under Tension and really squeeze the muscle at the top when it's flexed so all the blood can fill the muscle and slowly let the weight down on a 5-10 sec count.

just came to say this, i worked out for 2 years didnt gain a single kg. Then a couple months ago i changed 2 things and have put on 5kgs since. 1. Do compound body movements, theyre far superior to isolation even if you may not think it. 2. Youre not eating enough, no matter how hard i tried i never seemed to eat enough dispite it seeming like a lot. The secret? shakes. i make around a litre a day with oats, yogurt, peanut butter, a banana, a scoop of whey, and nutella for flavor. it has 1500kcal, 90grams of protein and tastes good too. also i eat a lot of cheap pizzas haha. You dont need to do detailed kcal tracking its a waste of time for a beginner nor does it all have to be high quality (just be sure youre eating enough protein.

I'm never goimg to be big as im 5. 5 tall an generally just over 9 st in weight. All this said. I kinda let my self down on a weekend drinking beer an not eating properly not that I eat junk. What I mean is some weekends i might not eat at all and just drink beer.

Loved this video, never been a hardgainer myself as i was a fat kid, but everything in here can really just be applied to anyone:
1) Do proper repetitions, learn the exercises technique.
2) Don't let the fear of judgment from other affect you in your journey.
3) Eat properly, by this meaning healthy food and enough protein to ensure you actually are inducing muscle protein synthesis.
These lessons can do ANYONE only good.

When I go anywhere but the gym, everyone says -I see the resemblance. Same eyebrows, and eyes. - that kinda thing. When I go to the gym everyone's like -THAT'S YOUR DAD? HE CURLS JUST AS MUCH AS YOU PRESS! - which is 90, tops. We are both athletes, but I just don't have the muscle. As a teenage hardgainer, I NEED jeff and his vids. I used to be able to do 10 pushups without failing, and now I can do 25.

Even in 2016 Jesse's arms looked pretty nice. Thinner than some others, but you can see there's been work done. Respect for all his effort and mental strength to keep doing Jeff's workouts and commit to it. I'm sure he's changed his life in many ways through this and probably wouldn't stop doing this anymore after commiting to it for so long.

Honestly, I never had problems with my weight. I could eat whatever I wanted and still maintain normal weight, but a lot of junk food really affected my health. Diet plan from -Next Level Diet- contains delicious and nutritionally rich foods your body, brain and heart will love. It's definitely worth trying.

I'm a skinny guy and started working out in the gym about a month ago but I perform my exercises in front of everyone and don't even feel shame even if they're just small weights. I don't know about confidence but just mind your own business and maybe coz I'm fkin confident in myself.

I-m a hard gainer. I figured out that chasing the pain/ burn is where it-s at. I tried lifting heavy with shit form for a few months until I figured that out. Steady gains ever since. Not quick by any means but month to month I definitely see and feel the benefits. I love being sore now.
