how do I know if I'm a hard gainer?

Is there any surefire way to tell if your a hardgainer or not? I know that I don't gain body fat very easily because I've been well sized for ages no matter what I eat, and I am usually always hungry and able to eat a lot more food than my friends and family.
 
jonny100, please dont refer to yourself as a hardgainer. i use to do that years ago and got laughed at and shrugged off a few times. but i've since learned that too many ppl use it as an excuse and thats what i was doing.

how do i get bigger?

you do this and that and this some more and that again

but i'm a hardgainer

and that means............

its hard for me to gain


you dont want to be lumped into this catagory. :D

now bodytypes is another story. you're probably like me, while everyone else looks like a beached whale i'm going back for seconds. ;)

that test told me I'm a mesomorph, but then I knew I was closest to that before taking it.

So you don't think I'm the type of person that needs to eat a lot more to have the same gains from cardio and weights as other people?
(I do have a fast metabolism though, even if I'm not a hard gainer)
 
what does it matter? declaring yourself a hardgainer will only hinder your confidence. as abear said, too many people use it as an excuse, and even though life is never fair, life doesnt accept excuses.

if you have a fast metabolism, yes, youll need to eat more.
 
mesos are usually muscular without hitting the weights or find gains to come faster than most others. like freddy said, you will need to eat more. :)
