Muscle Building Mistakes ALL Hardgainers Make (STOP MAKING THESE)
video description
Some of you are having trouble eating enough food to pack on mass. The reason for this is due to food intolerance and Go disorders you're not aware you have. Do you get full after eating just a few bites of food? Do you often not even have an appetite? Do you often experience abdominal cramping? All of these things can be due to things like gastritis, IBS, Lactose intolerance, cellulose intolerance, Gluten sensitive/intolerance etc. It took me many years to figure this out. The best thing you can do is see a doctor and if you can't afford one just try fasting then slowly introduce foods to see if you get a reaction. Those protein shakes could also be causing problems. Egg intolerance is also a thing. You'd be surprised. I always thought having explosive diarrhea and abdominal cramping was just because I ate too much or something. Turns out I have a bunch of food intolerances. I had gastritis, GERD and IBS and an egg intolerance and lactose sensitive and gluten sensitive. Yeah it freaking sucks but only then was I able to eat more in fact I can eat like the rock as long as it's not triggering foods.

Excellent content & videography as usual Ryan. you crazy goose
Another mistake is trying to build muscle without any weight gain. I'm 62, retired from competitive bodybuilding in '88 & every day in the gym I see two things. (1) Asshats on their phones (2) Skinny kids training hard week after week but not growing because they haven't figured out this simple truth: -There can be no increase in muscle size without weight gain. It's impossible- - No dirty bulking obvs, but if you want an inch on your arms. where TF do you think that tissue will magically come from if you're not gaining body weight. Say after me: -No body part increases without body WEIGHT increases-

Great great Full gym program that I purchased!
No regrets,

So couple of questions,
I'm finding myself going from 90 min up to 120 min,
I'm finishing strong,
But wld this be more of a negative then positive reaction to go to long?
One more question,
I like working out everyday been goin straight at it for the month

But begining to feel like I need some days off
What's the best way to go about it
Maybe a full week off or one day on one off?

I'm a relatively new lifter, only just started 39 years ago. Never took any time off except for injuries, and overate every meal every day of my life. On the far right of your scale, lift all the weight in the gym every day. Rack pull 855 (full bar) below knee, bare handed. Look like I've never been on the inside of a gym. Been weighing 215 for 20 years. Since watching you, I do reps past 5 and even switched to your pea protein, after consuming around 1000 lbs. of whey. Come out of gym wet every day, who knew reps of 20 plus were a real thing. Excited to see actual growth. So far, not so much, but the pain is amazing.

I always followed the eat big to get big, lift big or go home ethos. In the last 2 years without a gym because of lockdowns, I bought some basic equipment and made a home gym. I eat once a day and do lots of sets, lots of reps (the Greg Valentino way. I-m 53 and have gained more muscle in the last 2 years than in 30+ years of trying to lift heavy every workout. Who-d have thought it. After stopping listening to what others said I should be doing and going by what my mind/body actually wants, I-ve finally found out what works for me. Pity it-s 30 years too late.

True ectomorph here. Best thing I did is increase calories throughout the day. Big meals & packing on the cals in 1 go = big shits and that's it. Whereas having a bag of nuts or having a protein bar with me any time I even feel a hunger pang. That's what tends to help me keep the muscle on. 3x2hr sessions in the gym minimum, 40 reps sets of 4 for all exercises. I got my noobie gain up 15lbs of muscle within 5 months and have been doing the slow climb ever since for almost 2 yrs now.

When I was younger, I was taught to basically kill myself in the weight room every session. That worked in my 20's. Now that I'm in my late 30's, the key (for me) is low weight and high volume. I may not be hitting PRs like I did before. But I'm able to stay injury-free and CONSISTENT with my training, which leads to consistent progress.

I'm follwing an upper/lower routine so far i've tried my best to stay consistent, i may have missed 2-3 days at most of working out but i'm supposed to follow it for 10 weeks so i'm 7 weeks in rn. Soon i'll be getting some whey protein powder and i'm going to try my best to get enough high quality calories into my meals

You make a very important point about mind muscle connection. I have to train myself to have a better connection with my right bicep and tricep. I have perfect connection and therefore better contraction with my left side but now must focus on the right because it looks smaller. At least I notice it.
