Ep. 274 - Do Hardgainers Need More Volume?

Since the beginning of the iron game, different methods have been promoted as the best approach to train for "hardgainers." Likewise, in the scientific literature, the variability in individual response is well documented, including the identification of "non-responders" and poor responders to exercise. However, only recently have studies been undertaken to determine how to manipulate training to help poor responders to resistance training get better gains. So, is it true what they say? Does "hard work beat talent when talent doesn't work hard"? And if so, what type of "hard work" needs to be done exactly?
