You Can Grow Huge Muscle

Despite the old saying to the contrary, sometimes too much of a good thing ain’t really so bad. Yes, winning the lotto is better than winning patio cleaner. . I know you’ll remember me if you do win the big one, thank you very much. And can you ever have too many channels on television? Not as long as there’s a clicker with a fresh set of batteries and a hair-trigger finger at the ready.

I think we’ll keep that expression. Take the way you now train. All too often, when bodybuilders get to a plateau, they then start putting on exercises to my routine and spending more and more time in the gym, thinking that if they hit it hard enough and long enough, they’ll go through and start seeing results again. Unfortunately, like scrubbing stains that need a patio cleaning products for many hardgainers, that way is the exact opposite of what they should do, especially when battling a white-hot metabolism that burns through calories faster than they can be shoveled in.

The key in this frustrating situation is not to lift more extensively. Instead, try dialing back the overall time you’re training, and in that shortened window, train smarter, harder and with maximum intensity. In other words, eliminate the excess from your workout, get in and out of the gym, and give your body additional time to recover, rest and, most important, grow. Worrying about those stains on the concrete won’t matter with a good concrete patio cleaner.

To that goal, an extreme hardgainer routine is short and simple, cutting back to the bare minimum of exercises you need to ensure that you touch on all the important muscle groups and no more. It also relies mostly on compound moves because these are the most efficient exercises in your patterns. They call on multiple muscle groups at once instead of just one set. The isolation moves, when they do appear, are saved for last as one final “burnout” set to all-out failure.

Here’s where the plan gets crazy. At least if you’ve been a firm proponent of high-volume training and find yourself working out 4 to 6 times a week normally. For this plan, you’ll only train three to five days a week. The key bodyparts are broken across three sessions - a leg day, chest and back day, shoulders and arms day. You’ll do each just once per week, inserting at least one rest day in between them. This is how to train to get maximum muscle gain.
