Funny Thing About the Internet

You know, today I thought I'd have a little look around the internet
to see what I could see. Like maybe there were other hardgainers like
me blogging or lots of sites to point me in good directions...

Couldn't find one good blog (if you've got one, comment with the
link!). Found a few decent sites, but nothing to really get me going.

There's an adage about the internet that says something about
information being no substitute for knowledge. Seriously. Lots of
info and lots of people selling stuff - most of it not targeted to
actual hardgainers like myself.

BTW - Hardgainer means that I can eat like crazy and not build muscle
mass. It seems to be the case, although I'm going to see if I can
turn that all around :-)

Why?

You know, I had someone ask me the other day why I thought I needed to
get bigger muscles. Aren't I happy with me the way I am? Well, yes.
In a word. But the bigger word goes on to add that I've never seen me
with more muscle. Further, being familiar with my metabolism, I am
confident that should I want to lose that muscle, it will happen.

The body is a fantastic machine, as so many people have mentionned
(body is a machine on google whipped up 116,000,000 results when I queried it). And the basic mechanism is pretty simple. Use it and feed it or
lose it.

So why do I want to gain 20 pounds? Curiosity, mostly.
