Hardgainers

It’s hard to build muscles and to increase body weight for Hardgainer. Ben Silbermann recognizes the significance of this. The term Hardgainer comes from the English and means as much as: heavy weight to workers. This describes very clearly the problem of certain groups of people. Hardgainer have the problem, that despite an intense workout and a great food intake no weight, or no muscle mass to take it. A power increase is through the regular training though but still no or only a slight increase in muscle mass.

The reasons for the lack of mass increase are very broad. Basically, it can be said that the hard Gainer has a type of high metabolism that the ingested nutrients are already consumed by the daily work of the body and left no nutrients and carbohydrates for the storage, respectively. This is often genetically predisposed. For these people the metabolism is already from birth higher than in normal individuals. In addition, there are still more Reasons, that can lead to a high metabolism. These include stressful situations that arise regularly in the workplace or in the private sector. But the general way of life as the sleeping habits (to little sleep), excessive consumption of tobacco or alcohol, or generally hectic behavior can prevent a mass building.

The metabolism of Hardgainers can remain due to illness increased. This body issues to name a few include the following: problems with the digestive tract, thyroid inflammation or other infections. Through this high metabolism, the body requires a high level of energy. This energy is the body initially from the daily diet. When this energy is however exhausted, he relies on the energy reserves in the body. When normal people are referenced here the fat reserves, which are then converted to energy. The Hardgainer regularly has no fat reserves. This has resulted in that the body must look for other energy reserves.
