You would expect anything from the Muscle Nerd aka Jeff Anderson to be well documented and certainly worth checking out. His latest offering, Hardgainer Project X, or as he refers to it, HPX, does not disappoint.

What is the Hardgainer Project X? The course itself includes 4 core modules:

Quick Start Guide – The Quick Start Guide gets you out of the house and off to the gym so you can start right away. There is no need to wade through a bunch of stuff before you get a chance to test the material for yourself.

3- Step Training Manual - The core manual reveals everything you have been told wrong about hardgainer training and gets you on the proper path to finally building the muscle you have been trying to.  The correct workout routines with the correct reps to actually build the muscle.

Nutrition Guide - This is where much of the advice handed out to hardgainers is all wrong. It is not simply a matter of eating until you can’t eat anymore or working out until you drop. Proper nutrition is key to stop being a hardgainer and start gaining like everyone else in the gym.

Supplement Guide – Muscle building supplements are important but you do not need to buy overpriced,  worthless supplements promoted by a lot of the muscles mags. Jeff reveals the cheapest, most effective formulas so you can make an educated decision on what would REALLY work for your own goals!

In addition to the core materials, Hardgainer Project X includes several valuable bonuses:

• Workout Journal. Take this to the gym with you, open it up and it guides you through the complete 3-Step HPX Training Method.
• Exercise Guide. Includes start-to-finish photos of ALL of the exercises you need. Photos are always better than plain text.
• How To Measure Your Body Fat eBook. This manual is another step-by-step how to do it with nothing more than a simple tape measure.
• AGT-5000 Body Tracker Software. There will be no doubt about your progress. This software does ALL the math for you and gives you valuable charts and graphs to show you your gains in full color and with scientific precision!
  

There are other “skinny guy” programs out there and some actually help build muscle. Something that really impressed my about Hardgainer Project X is the actual research that was done. Jeff found some real live hardgainer “lab rats” and ran controlled studies to see what worked and what didn’t. And these test subjects had to pay $127.00 each just to part of the test!

The core documents are top quality but what will this program do for you if you are a hardgainer? That is what it all comes down to. Well, it claims to:

… Finally Unlock The “Genetic Code” That Transforms
Skinny Guys Into Muscle-Bound Studs

and that it will:

WORK BETTER than any other “skinny guy” program you’ve tried!

Claims are easy to make but a little harder to live up to. So how does this hardgainer muscle building routine stack up? Does it actually live up to the claims?

Yes it does, if you are actually a hardgainer and follow the advice given. On the other hand, if you are not an ectomorph and are looking for a solid muscle building program for an average build, there are better programs available.

Something I particularly liked about the program was the sales page! Crazy, huh? Who gets excited about a sales page?

This is something I would love to see more of. Most programs you need to fill out a form, and give up your email address to get a sample report or lesson to see what the program is really about. And then all you get is a teaser.

Not with this one. THIS one actually gives you some great hardgainer tips right on the sales page.

For example, you’ll discover:

• Your Body’s 2 Most Anabolic Hormones…And A Crazy “Tag Team” Technique To Trigger An Explosive Surge Of Thick New Muscle!
• The Hardgainer Workout Training Technique That Targets 373% More Muscle Fibers!
• The $.08 “Miracle Supplement” That Literally DOUBLES Muscle-Protein Uptake For CRAZY New Mass Gains!

It takes only a few minutes to decide whether or not this is just a bunch of “hype” or the program you’re looking for. I can recommend this program without reservation. Check it out at Hardgainer Project X.

If you are not a true ectomorph, you may be better off with a program like Vince DelMonte’s No-Nonsense Muscle Building.

Overall Rating For Ectomorphs: 5/5
Rating For Average Body Types: 3/5
