I remember reading about the Barbarians, what were their names? David
and Peter Paul, right? I remember (okay kindasorta remember) one of
them saying something like, "There's no such thing as overtraining, but
there is undereating!"
Not sure I agree with that, but I don't consider "hardgainer" a myth.
Or, rather, what do you mean by that?
It's no myth that some people struggle to gain muscle strength and
size.
Certainly some trainers, bodybuilders, people will gain muscle more
quickly (or easily) than others. The opposite, therefore, must be true
as well, right? Some people will NOT gain muscle as quickly as others.
They'll find it more difficult (or hard) to gain muscle and strength.
McRobert can't be said to have cashed in, can he? I mean, how much
money could he be making by selling a few books?
Hmm.

It's been years since I've read Brawn or his magazines, but he always
seemed like a true enthusiast and not some make-a-buck huckster.
Ymm(obviously)v.
And, Spence, if you got fat in '93, uh, it wasn't from an abbreviated
training routine, right? I don't need a trainer's certificate to figure
that one out.
