With regards to hardgainers and how one should train when he is one. I've been small my whole life, I have a metabolism that is terribly fast and I bust my ass in the gym. My training partners and I do about 16-20 sets per body part, supersetting certain exercises, it's not out of the question to throw in the occational tri-set when we are doing arms. I don't grow. I'm 160 and 6'0, a few months ago I was 150, needless to say, I'm eating everything in sight and my diet is spot on. My problem is that, I don't feel as though I am doing enough if I don't work in the range of 16-20 sets. It's always been this way for me. I have been at this for well over a year straight now and have been off and on for years. My genetics for building muscle suck, I'm not a naturally muscular guy to begin with. I take it, from the sounds of things, I'm doing too much? As I said, I just don't feel like I'm doing enough if if I'm not doing as many sets as I have been. The two guys I train with are naturally well over 200+ pounds so obviously this training style is suited to them. I've gotta get back to work right now but I would appreciate any thoughts or theories. I will get back to that which is said, as soon as I can.
