Here is a short article that Trevor Reed was kind enough to put together for the site.  If you aren't familiar with Trevor Reed's accomplishments, check out the interview and his pictures on Trevor Reed's muscle transformation page.  This former long distance runner was able to make some very impressive muscle gains in a relatively short period of time.

Below, Trevor (a self proclaimed hardgainer) shares some of what he believes to be the most important aspects of his muscle building routine.  These are just some of the steps he took to achieve his goals, and  are steps that you should also be taking if you are serious about building mass. 

You cant get big unless you eat. I made my most significant gains once i finally got my weight gain diet on target. You need to eat according to the clock and not according to your stomach. Your two most important meals are breakfast and your post workout shake.

Dont miss meals!

If you miss meals you will never make the gains you are looking for. Alot of guys are afraid of putting on too much fat. Dont worry about that, if you put on a few unwanted pounds it will still allow you to build more muscle. You can always change up your diet to clean and tighten up a little bit.

#3 - Be Consistant

• Sleep -  Consistant sleep in important. Late nights and early mornings do not mix well with getting big. It depends on your goals but find a balance between living life and getting the same sleep each night.
  

• Workouts - I have unintentionally missed no more than 5 days in the gym in one and a half years.  Do not miss workouts, from here on out! Iit is not an option to miss workouts it is part of your every day routine.
  

• Meals - Never miss meals. Buy tupperware and cook your meals the night before so that no matter where you go you can always take your meals with you.
