2 Exercises That Are A Must For A Hardgainers Program

There are a couple lifts\exercises that are used in weight lifting that are considered the big ones, the ones that will make the most contribution to your strength level. These are the dead lift and the squat. If you are trying to gain weight or bulk up, especially if you are a hardgainer, you need to be doing one of these as part of your hard gainers program.

Of the two exercises, the squat is probably the better to use, so if you have access to a squat rack of some sort this should be your first choice. If you have no way to do squats then do the dead lift. Whichever you choose, do not compromise the use of proper form to avoid injury.

What the squat is good at is stimulating the growth hormones because of the stress it puts on you. It not only strengthens your thighs but your whole body as well. Because of the demand it puts on your body, you should do this exercise once a week unless you are at a level that needs more.

For the purpose of gaining weight, only do 5 to 8 reps per set. Using a very heavy weight and keeping the reps down would be the best bet. Do not use so heavy a weight that you are forced to cheat to get the weight up, you may incur an injury. Once in a while you might go even a little heavier than normal and do a few partial reps.

Of course using the squat alone will not make you bigger. You need to eat a lot so you are receiving a larger amount of calories. Also, just as important is getting plenty of rest.
