I've started a training q&a thread and answer them every Sunday via a you tube video every sunday,assuming i don't work. In that case, I'll get them answered here in the thread through the day.

Good topic for Q&A! Hardgainers. How to put on mass? How many calories, macro ratio? Reps and sets for Large compound lifts, smaller isolation lifts?

My follow up question (beyond the hard gainer one that we need to move over here):

I noticed your bicep femoris(hamstring) is getting the good roundness. I want more than just size in that area, I want shape, those round (bicep looking) Hamstrings!

Question#3

A. Do you think that employing partial/half reps, negatives, or a 21’s style on quads or hamstrings; (example: leg extensions and leg curl machines) could help my growth or should I just skip that stuff and stick with a full stretch repetition?

B. For overall size and shape, should I stick with a 6-9 reps or go for 12-15 reps?

I am currently doing 5-8 reps and have been for the past few months. A bit of History: I was on low TRT (75mg a week of undecanoate) and GH for 9 mo w/o cycling beyond one compound for 4 weeks , twice(testing). So basically I just began a nice cycle for overall aesthetics. So I am not sure if I should raise my rep numbers. I usually do 3 working sets (FYI).

Appreciate your taking this question

I've always have been a hard gainer, metabolism is so high I hardly hold fat at all even at 40 years old. Right now I'm doing a Push, Pull, Leg days. I go havey as I can but try to get at least 12-15 reps and that's about 80% failure point. I'm consistently getting stronger every week but I would think at some point I'm going to plateau.
So I guess my question would be to build mass what would be the best approach. What I'm doing or change it up a bit. I also do some negatives and pause and hold at the end of sets.

I do 5 days a week, started with Tues (Push), Weds (Pull),Thurs (Legs). But added two more days of Push/Pull Friday (Push) and Mondays (Pull).

Giving my self at least two days to heal in between Push/Pull days and Legs just once a week. Didn't want to over do legs cause I found I was still a little sore when it's day come back around to do it twice a week but that's subject to change.

Just finished video but just wanted to add that its also good to change the focus every workout. Example: Push 1 is chest focus and push 2 is shoulder focus. Same for legs. Pull day is always kinda gonna be back focus
