Reddit mentions of The Hardgainer Solution: The Training & Diet Plans for Building a Better Body, Gaining Muscle, & Overcoming Your Genetics

My Coach wrote a book called Hardgainer
Solution and in one year it took me from looking like I'd never worked out to hey. visible arm veins and pump. booty.
quads. shoulders. at 46 years old and lifetime I tell you of working out.

Just read his work and see what you think, the low low price of free. Stick with it as I have. I was skeptical as hell but in about six weeks i was likeee...this is gonna work.

(also, for lifting, i don't know if you're doing something really strength-focused and just feeling beat up? i do submaximal loads in the hypertrophy range, and never go to actual failure, so i feel pretty fresh most of the time. always leave a fair bit of juice in the tank. still get hypertrophy that way if you have frequency. if you're interested in that idea, there are a few people talking about it. strengtheory in this article, then there's scott abel's hardgainer solution, hypertrophy-specific training, SC, plenty of programs like that out there. lol maybe you're doing that already, sorry if so)

I'm an aesthetic lifter as well. I found this program several months ago honestly it's the best program I have found for a non enhanced lifter looking for better aesthetics. Way to many programs out there push the lift for strength and size will come mantra. In my experience this does not work very well for majority of people, or if it does it works EXTREMELY slowly in terms of aesthetic differences. In the book I posted below he takes a completely different approach and really nails it imho.
