One my WORST personal qualities is the, almost unconscious,
display of arrogance and lack of empathy that I often carry.
It's not that I don't care about people who are less fortunate than
I in certain circumstances...
I in certain circumstances...
Its that many times I am so self absorbed that I can't even see their
pain. (I'm sure there are times when you can relate to this also)

When you can't see the pain that others may carry, it is difficult to
feel for them and ultimately support them in their struggle.

Both Mike and I have agreed that since neither of us have a problem
building muscle or gaining mass (it actually may be TOO easy
for us, if you know what I mean)....
that we have committed to interviewing, studying and learning
to understand the challenges of guys who have a very difficult
time gaining mass (ie The Hardgainer).

What we have learned about your pain over the past few weeks has
been mind shattering!
Here are a few of the things that we discovered about you.
You you are a HardGainer if...
[+] You have ALWAYS been skinny, both as a kid and as an adult.
[+] No matter how heavy you lift, you can not get stronger!
[+] Even if you eat 7 meals a day, it seems like the scale never moves.
[+] When you DO actually gain mass, it just seems like your getting fatter!
[+] You've tried most of the popular supplements and NONE of em work!
[+] You may have even thought about using steroids.
[+] It seems like others can gain mass, but somehow You Are Genetically
CURSED Not To!

... I totally understand that THIS is just the tip of the iceberg.
I've got to admit that most of what I learned about YOU comes from an
interview that I did with a 19 year old kid that walked into my gym last
week and practically broke down in tears as he shared his story.
His name is "Little John".
And tomorrow I'll share his story with you.
Later,
Elliott & Mike

PS - Although "Little John" is still, well... little. He shared some of his
hopes and dreams about a future with bigger muscles and more confidence.
