Well, I wrote about this on my website some time ago, see if this helps:

Or you could be genetically gifted, come in and "make fun" of people who actually train and you train just as hard or even less (or not at all) - and just because it works for you as a genetically gifted individual, you think (genetically gifted people don't usually think,  but let's have a positive approach here) that everybody must mess around when you are "training so hard" since they don't make progress and you do.

Well no shit Sherlock, you just got lucky by having the genetics that respond to more stress and also allow you a faster recovery. In fact, for hardgainers, LESS training should be the norm since their (our) recovery sucks to begin with. Train more and you'll run yourself into the ground and complain about not making any progress. If training more was all that was needed, we could all just train 10 hours per day and be the best in the world.

So genetically gifted people should just shut up about not training "hard enough" - they haven't been in a hardgainer's body, not to mention all the other parameters at work. What should be analysed is if the guy is giving his best shot, with the body/genetics that he's been dealt with, and if not, trying to find ways to improve on that (sometimes these ways are to train LESS hard, by the way).

I have that. I don't know the cause of it, maybe just the way I'm built combined to how wide (or not) I have my stance when I squat.

Wider stance? Hip pain. Narrower stance? Knee pain.

Damn... I like rain, a lot. So peaceful and makes you wanna sleep too. Plus the smell in the air is so good.

I would hate to live where you are.

Nice. Where do you live if you can do track work now in the Winter? Australia?

He's 30 in dog years.

This explains why my squat numbers are the same for the last 7 years!
