I am definitely a hard gainer at 4,500cal/day. Should post a meal plan for us extremely hard gainers.

Great article. I am doing something similar to this.

I have upped my calories to 3,000 a day. I am a hard gainer, I used to do cardio on my days off from the gym, but now only workout 4 days a week. I do 1 hour of hard lifitng 4 days a week, monday/wednesday/friday/saturday I do 30 minutes of cardio on a stiationary bike immediately after lifting on monday/friday/wednesday. My off days I try to remain as unactive as possible while still consuming 3,000 calories.

I started at 186lbs (about 20 lbs overweight), then dieted and did lots of cardio until I was down to a lean 156, and have been hard lifting since. I recently started counting calories and upped my intake, my ratio for the time being is 40% quality carbs, 50% protein, and 10% quality fats. I am at 165 now with a goal of 195-200. From there I am planning on cutting back down to 190. This has been a pain in the butt and such a challenge, but worth it as my results have been been phenominal. Since Ibegan hard lifting a few months back, I have seen my body really take shape, and now that I am consuming the calories and protein my body needs, I am looking forward to seeing even greater results.

@Randy

I have answered if you should be doing cardio when trying to gain weight. As a hardgainer, it would be advisable to limit cardio training to two weekly sessions of twenty minutes on non-workout days.

Am I supposed to fill so full ALL the time? I’m trying to gain weight, but honestly I run 5 days per week (minimal 3 miles per) and I burn up sooo many calories I work so hard to intake. I just feel like its IMPOSSIBLE to obtain respectable gains while doing so much cardio. I’m in great shape physically, but I’m just thin. I have tried alot of programs and I just can’t seem to gain. I have plateaud at 150, and I’m 70″ tall (5’10″) HELP!
