Are you a skinny guy that no matter how much you eat, you just can't seem to put on muscle?

Transition words & phrases

I think I have an idea of what's going on because it happened to me.

What's up, guys? Jeff Cavaliere, ATHLEANX.COM.

Going Coach Cavaliere again today because we want to follow up on an earlier video that

about Hardgainers and the mistakes that I feel Hardgainers make, because I made them

And those were really dealing with the gym elements, but people called me out and said,

Jeff, you didn't talk anything about nutrition. How are you gonna' help us Hardgainers with

And you know what? I think that is a great point, and to not include something on that

So let's do a video on it, but I got to warn you. This is going to be one of those earmuff

a little bit offended if I use curse words or if I get a little bit, uh, unprofessional,

Guys, I have to tell you. When I do these videos, and they're sort of my Jeff Rant Videos,

These are because I've lived this. I was a Hardgainer, right. I told you before, I was.

I know what it's like. I know what you guys are suffering with if you're here watching

this video having the same struggles and problems.

So, if I deliver my message with passion, then I am being a professional because it's

my professional responsibility to do so, and

to give you guys the information I feel that you need. So, if there's anybody that's offended,

For every one of you, there's a hundred that appreciate the passion with which this message

So, let's talk about nutrition. What is it that's going wrong here, if you're a Hardgainer

I can tell you right off the bat that you're getting bad advice because I heard the same

bad advice that you're probably hearing and that is,

If you want to eat big, if you to get big, you got to eat big. Right, that's it. That's

That is flat out only about a quarter of the equation because they're leaving out one big

thing, guys, and that is what I preach and that is,

You better have quality first, and then worry about quantity because if you're going to

sit there and eat a diet full of crap you know what you're going to get out of it?

Crap. Alright? It's shit in, shit out. That's what happens. That's how it works, alright.

And if you want to build an impressive body you better start focusing on more impressive

And I can tell you, and I can speak this way because I've been there. I was the worst junk

And I've covered this in other videos. As a matter of fact, I've got a picture here

Alright, so I'm going to vouch for that, too. So, Jeff, what did you look like as a skinny

That's me. That body right there was powered by 2 1/2 hour workouts.

Hostess Cupcakes for lunch. Literally, that was what I ate for lunch.

That's what I got out of it. Nothing, because you can't expect to put in crap and get out

You gotta' focus on quality nutrition first and if you're not going to focus on quality,

I've got kids that I've trained that have consumed up to 5 and 6 thousand calories a

They couldn't put on muscle because it had nothing to do with the amount of calories

It was garbage. All garbage. Your body can't do anything with that, nothing productive.

They cut their calories by 20-40 percent. And guess what they did?

They gained muscle. And you can do the same thing. You focus on the quantity only after

Guys, you can't bully your body nutritionally. It doesn't work that way. You can in some

I always say, Either train hard or train long, but you can't do both. You gotta' train hard.

You gotta' try to bully your body that way.

But you cannot bully your body nutritionally. There's too many intricacies going on nutritionally

Hormonally. That's one of the biggest things, that's one of the biggest reasons why crap

Because hormonally you're not-you're causing a cascade of issues and problems for yourself

that make it that much harder to build muscle.

The responses to sugar would be much different than responses to protein in your body, right.

And nutri genomically, I've talked about that before,

it even has an impact on gene expression, and protein synthesis and your body's ability

to build muscle from it's very constituents.

That's going to be impacted because of the quality of the stuff that you put in your

body. And don't think that turning to supplements is going to be your savior.

It's not. It's not, because I see 2 big problems when guys do that.

Number 1. They overspecialize.They're looking at testosterone boosters and, guys, that ain't

Seriously. Testosterone boosting? A lot of the Hardgainers are young kids. You got more

testosterone floating around in your body.

I mean, seriously, you're not being limited by your testosterone, you're being limited

by the fact that you can't keep your mouth closed when you're around cupcakes.

And you won't try to eat anything that tastes good. You stay away from the brown rice because

You stay away from kenwah. You stay away from cous-cous. You stay away from carbohydrates

starchy carbohydrates in the morning like oatmeal because you prefer to have Lucky Charms.

That's not going to do it. That's not good. And I throw some of these foods out there,

but I'm not saying those are the only thing you can do.

There's so many good tasting foods out there, guys. Just start to extend your palates and

start to try different things that you know are healthy.

And believe me, you will find foods that you like. I don't care who this is. And if you're

not a Hardgainer, you're just an overweight guy watching this video,

start to expand your palates and start to try different things and try them in their

natural states.They actually taste really good.
