Are there any unironically paid or free trainingprograms that IST would recommend for a hardgainer? Seems to be that the majority of them are scams.

Which one is the alpha?
What ever you like eating the most? eat as much as you can as fast as you can(not before training/physical work).
Every time I expanded my stomach was because I willfully did it. Or I really liked the food.
Things like fried chicken, ice cream, canoli's, baclava, korean bbq, etc do it for me.
I don't know what you love to eat but do it.
It's time to dirty bulk(short term).
there is no such thing as a hardgainer. your metabolism is probably like 50kcal at most faster than average.
Push yourself harder in the gym and eat more food. Seriously almost every "hardgainer" I've ever come across eats way less than they think and/or is wasting their time in the gym
its because youre natty. legit pointless being a natty lifter kek
Im telling you know as a former skelly that there is no such thing as a hardgainer. You might have a slightly higher caloric need than most normans but its usually only a couple hundred calories at most. Your problem is a lack of appetite and consistency and nothing else. Eat more train hard and you will grow. It might take a bit of tweaking to get it just right but is possible
t. Former skelly who gained 30lbs so far
Just do naturalhypertrophys novice program
Buddy, no programs are scams. It's all basic and the type of work you do for your goal is repeated by everyone repeatedly (even some times on this anti-fitness board). If you're a "hard gainer" it's your food and recovery that you need to pay extra attention to. Also realize you are just built slight and your body likes to hover around it's mean. You need to eat like a pig and sleep a lot. It's like trying to push a car over a road bump. Once you get it over it's easy and by that I mean your body will kind of shift what it considers it's base level to a higher weight. Then you will hit another road bump and so on and fo forth but it is not your program that is the road bump.
When bulking is it every day or every workout days that I should eat more?
Also if I'm already eating more than 1g of protein per lb of total bodyweight, do I really need to eat more?
Only interested in the answer of people who actually lift so please keep your ``common sense'' (guesswork) to yourself.
when bulking you should be eating every day and also you should be working out every day pussy.
you need to eat more because the cholesterol in the fatty food is an essential component in the formation of new cells which is what you are doing by building muscle, you don't JUST use protein to make muscle homie.
cholesterol has the same molecular structure as steroids, it just has one atom swapped out (which admittedly can make a world of difference) but people who eat larger amounts of cholesterol generally experience higher amounts of growth hormone and testosterone.
then there is also all the extra vitamins and hormetic compounds and fibres that you will use in the extra food to help you bulk
you can eat more calories by learning how to cook your self and cooking things like stir fries or casseroles, things that allows you to put alot of fats and meats and carbs and vegetables. biodiversity, fat, fibre, and meat will help you to consume alot of calories. and you will be encouraged to eat more of the food if its delicious and you made it your self rather then if its bland and comes in small packages that psychologically steer you into eating small amounts of food.
if anything, reduce the protein consumption that you eat all at once so that you have to eat more food to get as much protein, because protein is very filling, so if you are eating things like a protein bar or something and then trying to eat after it will be harder, instead, put the protein you need to eat in your food.
>you should be working out every day pussy.
You don't know shit about muscle protein synthesis do you? inb4 you're some dumbfrick roidhead, or worse do brosplits/PPL but without the roids.
>cholesterol has the same molecular structure as steroids, it just has one atom swapped out (which admittedly can make a world of difference)
Dude, even the same atoms but looking different in the mirror can be the difference between life and death, keep your stupid ass broscience to yourself.
>but people who eat larger amounts of cholesterol generally experience higher amounts of growth hormone and testosterone.
Because testosterone is literally built from fricking cholesterol.
>all the extra vitamins
lmao unless you're eating an amerilard diet you have enough vitamins already so anymore is meaningless. Only exceptions to this is when you're megadosing with supplements.
> hormetic compounds
So poison then. You want hormesis you take a shower.
>fibres
Imagine thinking fibres are good.
Look, I appreciate the effort and all and I understand that you're trying to help. But unless you actually KNOW the mechanisms behind things, just don't.
you don't work the same muscle group everyday you fricking moron you alternate
Going from "hurr u shud workerout err day pussi" to "nooo not the same musclerino".
Why don't you stop being a dumbfrick and work out 3 times a week like a normal human being?
i'm not the same guy btw, but ofcourse you can work out every day you pleb, listen to your body over any fricking dumb routine
you have to go back
