I have been 6'2" 135 since high school. A year and a half ago I got my motivation because I was hurting all the time, bulging disk is my back , depression from a horrible divorce, could barely stand up without physical assistance. I am now 49 and 165, 17.5 % body fat, and in better shape than I was in my twenties, almost no pain in my back, depression is far better, and I can stand easily from a full crouch without pain or strain. Getting to the gym was the best dam thing I have ever done for my self...Still a hard gainer but still working at it. Even us older guys can do this. Thanks for what you all do.

[@slowg9706]

I have a son and daughter who are easy gainers and one son who’s a hard gainer, he has been discouraged about this in the past, we watched this video together and now he’s checking out your channel and wants to start training again, great work guys.

[@augustingarnier4625]

It will serve him well! Last year at the age of 60, I started watching and training to Jeff's workouts. I went from 145-lbs (at 5'10") to 168-lbs today. However, the nutrition is so critical. Most of my mornings start with a bowl of old-fashioned oats with blueberries, honey, and a splash of 2% milk. Also, almost daily I have a cup of cooked beans (Hurst 15-bean soup is amazing and I can pre-cook a week's worth) and (not with) a protein shake. What I have found is that with this diet consistency I can take a week off from working out and not lose any muscle mass.

Jesse's journey has always given me hope and belief I can achieve the same. The only thing missing from this video I feel is the acknowledgement that it's a multi-year journey. Not one, not two. But several years. That's the hardest part imo - ensuring all those tips are accounted for over such a prolonged period. Just gotta keep pushing!

[@jfil5518]

That is implied in the video itself (imo). In the beginning of the video they talk and show video of Jessie back in the day.

Jesse is pretty mid in his achievements considering being Athlean's number 2. You can do a lot better than he did.

[@travisedwards9983]

Went from 155 to 190, took about 8 years. But stayed lean entire time, zero stretch marks or injury. Next 12 years after that I have stayed between 205-212, mostly maintain my build and get extra lean for vacations and such from tighter macros. Now at almost 41, it only takes about 45min 6 days a week to stay in extremely good shape. But I attribute much of that to the slow and steady progress route I took, my body wants to stay where it is now. I don't revert back to anything else, even during a 8 month time where I could not workout or eat healthy I only lost 2 pounds.

[@lavatr8322]

Jeff and Jesse, I had to stop the video for a moment. The dynamics between both of you is so much joyful and fun to watch (even if a specific video is irrelevant for my personal needs, it's still very educational, entertaining and very well made), I felt the need to share with you both my gratitude for your top class & hard work both for Jeff professional presentation in videos, and Jesse's edits and anyone involved in the making. Sending a HUGE THANK YOU & LOVE from Israel. ❤❤❤

[@alandiaz6752]

I have to say, I’ve been following Jeff for over 7yrs and as of February, this year, I eliminated all processed sugars (only eating fruits for my sugar intake) and started his PPL split that he made a few years ago, which I adjusted to my schedule and the gyms for it to look like Mondays: run, Tuesdays: Pull, Thursdays: Legs, Saturdays: Push (which there’s pull 1 and 2, also for the other ones that the video he made shows), and I have seen such a transformation on how I look, and feel. Each time I’ve been either increasing the weight or reps and the next day I don’t feel as sore as I use to. Plus the recovery is long but effective for me. Thank you Jeff, you definitely educated me and motivated my life longevity

Well done.

Thanks guys. All gym goers need friends like you to tell them the straight, unvarnished truth with no judgment. These are great tips, even for non-beginners.

I myself had a similar hard gainer journey, I was a high school wrestler 6 ft tall, 112lbs, 119lbs, and 125 lbs. I am 39 years old now and I have been lifting for 25 years and I am still only 165 lbs but I am ripped, can bench 275lbs, can do one-arm pullups, front lever holds. Even though I am not the biggest guy, I firmly agree with, and have done many of these top 10 advice items. They are very applicable and especially applicable to hardgainers. My biggest advice to hardgainers are: 1. Get the protein, preferably in liquid form, 2 shakes a day is best. 2. Consistency is key, find that motivation somehow, both internally and externally. 3. Set realistic goals and concentrate on only a few at a time, don't try to work on 6+ goals at once. 4. Sleep and hydration are so important, they are also fairly hard to do, make sure to get good rest.

[@tatedickson4796]

Any special advice for maintaining a low weight? Or just calorie deficit and genetics. I've just started lifting and I'm looking to know how to be be strong and skinny rather than big and jacked.

[@pierrea3094]

The hardgainer thing makes no sense. You’re just not eating enough it’s not about protein. In 25 years you put on a total of 40lbs that’s the only real issue. If you want to gain muscle and I know it’s hard to grasp, you literally have to eat more. You have to gain go into maintenance a bit than cut. Don’t be afraid to lose ab visibility for a bit. That’s the only real advice anyone will ever need to gain muscle, unless they have some kind of hormone imbalance. I’ve met people who did have a hard time putting on weight, they found out they needed way more calories like south of 4000cals a day and then they put on weight. It’s really not quantum physics. Imagine if you gained 10lbs total a year in that 25years and that’s gaining at a very slow pace to avoid excess fat, you’d be closer to 225-250lbs.

[@Aaron.Thomas]

​@@pierrea3094 quantum physics is way easier math, than biology, microbiome, epigenetics and all the multiple factors: diseases, disorders, deficiencies, and other issues that make people unable to absorb all the "calories" they ingest. Missing the right enzymes, microbiota, or cellular health can limit a person's ability to utilize ingested matter, and humans are not clones. We all have unique microbiota, and we have different epigenetics, and it's not a 1:1 math equation of calories in/out. It is, in fact, complicated.

Many influencers out there have this same reason to do what they do, but won't admit it and make up something else.

Being a ectomorph hardgainer, I used to make 1200 cal mass gain shakes 1-2x a day and it was working for putting on mass, but I quit because I was getting bad acne breakouts and skin rashes. I said it’s not worth it for a few bounds of mass a year. I quit focusing on bulking and went back to my strengths of sprinting and still weightlifting. I dominate in sprinting competitions. I said I’m not going back to trying to work on my weaknesses of muscle building. I’d rather just win and dominate at what I’m good at.

I am also an ectomorph hardgainer. I also had problems with mass gainers. It’s because they’re dirty. I switched to eating more real food and started gaining and getting hungrier by habit alone.

I’ve been watching Jesse grow for a couple years, he’s fun to watch because he’s a funny dude, I like your new coffee protein that’s been working out for me, well, I do the working out part, lol

I find this video extremely useful. I am a beginner and I have difficulties sometimes to create the muscle mind connection. So what I do is I perform the exercise extremely slow, so that I feel the muscle that is actually working. I do that until failure to trigger hypotrophy.

Crazy but one of your best videos, both of you can really help people with this sit down,and just explain simple ways of thinking and training thanks.

It’s crazy how he went from skinny to this. I watched the first episode where he was starting his journey. Way to go!

[@Redbull_5757]

Holy shit Jesse! Amazing progress! Great job man!!!

[@sturusk3620]

Well done Jessie, outstanding. You can have the best trainer in the world but you still have to do it all yourself

Just recently started workout out at 30 to get and stay fit for my sons. I’m also getting a promotion at work to go from being a foreman the field to sitting at a desk all day. Wasn’t going to take it but the more stable routine is impossible to pass up. That being said a nice routine would be a weekly stretch/ workout for those of us working office jobs. Something mild. My company has a gym at their shop, but I work out at home. A nice light routine to hit joints and cardio that can be coupled with another more rigorous routine would be quite nice.

I've put on 30 pounds in a year thanks to these videos! I went from 135 to 165 and I'm feeling more confident then I ever have. Thanks so much for the content!

Coming off avascular necrosis in my hip, and then hip surgery, my legs had gotten extremely weak, and Bulgarian split squats with just body weight was one of the exercises that helped bring my legs back.

Just such an excellent video, you guys, so real and so good thanks for sharing

good work . . persistence willingness to deal with "imperfection" and alal that jazz a good reminder that we change- in the over 70 crowd the words hard and gains will challenge you in dimensions you always feared
