Former Skinny Dude Lou Ferrigno

Lou Ferrigno
Lou Ferrigno is 6′5″. He started his bodybuilding career as a very skinny sub-150 pounder, and took it all the way up to and over 300 pounds, doubling his body weight.
He, of course, was no hardgainer, obviously gaining weight and building muscle incredibly fast.
Some Background on Lou Ferrigno
As a baby, he got ear infections and lost his hearing. He began training as a teenage, starting out tall and skinny. He soon packed on the weight, however.
At only 21 he won the Mr Universe; then he won it again the next year.
Lou went on to star in Pumping Iron, The Incredible Hulk, and some Hercules movies. Later, he was a regular on the King of Queens.
Ferrigno was a boyhood idol of mine and he still looks impressive.
The shot at the left shows size and muscularity that we’d all love to be able to possess. He did it, why not you?

Hardgainers Celebrate Cutting Your Food Supplement Bill by 90 Percent!
Posted by billspaced in Bodybuilding, Diet & Fitness, Hardgainer, Nutrition, Supplements on June 23, 2009
Fellow hardgainers, you and I both know that you’ve tried every food supplement, powder, pill, capsule, and liquid on the planet that claims to build muscle and pack on the pounds.
I know I have. You know what? Most of them don’t work. I mean, they work on mesomorphs, guys who can put on a pound of solid muscle just by doing a set of chins and eating a steak.
But for us, it’s different. We have very fast metabolisms, and in many cases, we’re built like marathon runners rather than Mixed Martial Artists.
We choke down hundreds — if not thousands — of dollars’s worth of weight-gain powders every year. Mostly to no avail.
I just got a hold of a book called Homemade Supplement Secrets. It shows you the supplements that work and that don’t work for putting muscle on hardgainers. Plus, it shows you how to make the supplements that DO work, right in your own home using readily-available ingredients!
All at a fraction of the store-bought price. How sweet is that?

Need a Muscle Growth Spurt?
Posted by billspaced in Bodybuilding, Hardgainer on January 19, 2009
Try this simple program for boosting your muscle-growth.
For 3 weeks, do nothing but Squats on Day 1 and Day 3, Bench Presses on Day 3 and 5, and Lat Pull-downs on Day 1 and Day 5.
First week, do 6-8 reps per set, for 3 sets.
Second week, do 8-12 reps per set, for 4 sets.
Third week, do 12-15 reps per set, for 5 sets.
Fourth week, do your “normal” routine (whatever that is).
For the nutrition side, take heavy doses of weight-gain powder 3 days in a row. On Day 4, take no supplements. In other words, heavy supplements ON three consecutive days, OFF one day.
Supplements to consider:
Along with these supplements, eat plenty of eggs and milk.
This is a time-honored weight-gain program that goes back to the ’50s. Muscle builders have been using it for decades with great success.
