I think i am getting gains but im not sure if i am doing everything right. What are the best methods to figure this out? Trial and error is not a very good way to figure it out.

well as they say everybody’s different
some ppl gain muscle thru medium weight and lots of reps and some few reps with alot of weight (for example)
my advice would be, don’t listen to what everybody else is doing
if the big guy in the gym says do this, it won’t neccasarilly work for you
i use to do alot of gym work and i didnt get that great a result
so i started training in quantity, alot of reps of medium to light weight chucked in with a bit of heavy lifting
it works for me
How do you tell if you are a hardgainer? I suppose it is a subjective thing — If you feel like you are not making gains in the gym, then you are a hard gainer.
But typically, a hardgainer is one who has tried many different methods, all to no avail.
I would suggest that if you have gained 0-5 pounds in the last year and have hit the gym hard, ate a ton, and rested well, then you are definitely a hard gainer.
So, now that you know, what to do about it?
You could certainly keep doing what you are doing (and, of course, get the same results — NOTHING!)…
Or you could follow a plan that WORKS.
