Someone who does not gain muscle very easily, like TJohn said it's typically "ectomorph" body types (those are the naturally skinny people). However, anyone can be a "hardgainer".

Why low volume training? I thought most bodybuilders follow this training routine!

The hard gainer needs more time to heal. Just because you???re no longer sore doesn???t mean your 100% and ready to train again. If your upper body seems healed but your legs are sore I guarantee you cant give that extra effort for chest or back.
IMO most people, hardgainer or not, most are over trained. I never considered myself a hardgainer but I took up very low volume very intense training last year and I've never been bigger or stronger.

I am probably stupid but can someone tell me exactly what low volume intence training actually is? Is it one body part a week, but working it very hard?

Basically yes.
Something like ::
Mon = chest/shoulders/tri's
Tues = rest
Wed = legs
Thurs= rest
Fri = back/bi's/forearms
Sat = rest
Sun = rest

I think you`ll find Mick is even lower than this.....and I think with only one or two working sets per bp.

That is close to the workouts that i started doing about a month and a half ago. Mick01, how long did it take you before you really noticed gains?
