Have you been searching for the keys to natural bodybuilding? Maybe you're looking for the magic secret only a few advanced trainees have been lucky enough to discover.
Maybe it's the latest supplement fad everyone's so excited about.
Well, I doubt it.
Rather than turn this into another rant against bodybuilding supplements, though, I think we'll talk about an important factor that you may not have considered.
I'm talking about following a mentor.
Now I don't mean talking to the guy next to you in the gym every day.
He may or may not know what he's talking about.
Even if he does, he needs to be able to explain it to you in a way that you understand.
You see, what you need is a comprehensive muscle building program.
You need an expert trainer who overcame his skinny genes and put on a few dozen pounds of muscle without steroids.
(By the way, if this sounds like too much muscle, keep in mind that you don't have to go that far if you don't want to.
) You can learn to build as much muscle as you want without steroids, and you can even forego supplements and still get great results.
The previous sentence is key here.
What I mean is you can reach for whatever level of muscle you want, and when you're satisfied with it you can just work on maintaining it.
However, the key here is that you must follow a comprehensive program for a best chance of success.
You shouldn't pick and choose components of different programs haphazardly and throw them together.
Likewise, you shouldn't jump from one program to the next without dedicating enough time for you to see results.
So what kind of program should you choose? It should include step by step instructions on strength training exercises, nutritional plans, and tips on how to prevent injury.
Preferably, it should be a program written by a former hardgainer who knows how to overcome the difficulties you're facing.
