Lifting insights for hardgainers

I second Rionomad in saying thinking it's your diet.

You aren't eating enough food. So post-workout your body is going "catabolic" and feeding on itself essentially taking your gains away.
Make sure you drink plenty of water per day.


I am a hard gainer as well but i'm just over 200 pounds @ 6'3. I started lighter than you are right now. I learned a few things.

Go to your supplement store and buy a big bucket of mass gainer with bcaa's and protein.
Learn to love meal preparation. I'm serious here. If you do not pre-plan your meals you will wasting your time in the gym. I know for myself i consume around 6500 calories just to keep weight on me. I would need to go up to 7500 if i was looking to add some more weight.

Don't worry about being super clean eating right now. You don't have enough muscle mass to worry about putting on fat.
Rice and mashed potatoes with each meal.
Chicken.
Steak.
Eggs.
Fatty fish like salmon and tuna
plenty of fruits and veggies.

For example i start my day off with:
I have 6 eggs for breakfast with a banana and milk each day.
Then i take 2 containers blueberries and mix it in with 500ml of yogurt.

I continue to eat even after i feel full. You'll have to get over this feeling. I'm always eating around the house. Whether it be a sandwich, pieces of fruit or a mass gainer shake with milk.
