Muscle Building: How To Decide On The Best Workout For An Ectomorph Body Type

By Jeff Kappel


Consistency is key when it comes to building muscle and choosing the best workout for an ectomorph. However, your workouts aren't always going to be the same. As you change and see results, your workouts should progress.

It's great to be dedicated to the cause of gaining weight even though you know you're a hard gainer and will find your path to greater muscle mass difficult. However, the one common problem that most ectomorphs face as they begin the ectomorph weight training routine is that they over train which leads to unnecessary and potentially damaging muscle stress.

Most hard gainers are eager to begin seeing results for their efforts. They believe that all it takes is hard work and dedication and they'll see results in the mirror in a week or two. It rarely works out that way no matter how rigorous the workout routine you're following happens to be.

So now, if you will allow me I would like to provide you with a couple tips that you can implement to avoid some of the common problems ectomorphs have with working out.

First, most people forget to warm up. It might sound silly, but even taking some time the day before to warm up the muscle groups you will be using the next day will benefit you. By avoiding excess strain that you will be putting on cold muscle you will help decrease the amount of time it takes your muscles to recover and increase the chances of getting an effective workout.

Second, most people who are looking to build muscle mass thing that they need to avoid cardio because it will burn excess calories. However, doing the proper cardio will allow hard gainers such as yourself to build muscular endurance and burn fat at rest. This is how you will gain that ripped lean muscle that all ectomorphs are looking for.

3rd, make sure on days that you life heavy that you allow yourself to rest longer between sets. Lifting heavy is very taxing on the nervous system to taking 60-90 seconds rest between sets will help you recover.

4) Make ectomorph strength training sessions brief but have them often. Short sessions that provide high intensity and extremely targeted workouts work best.

Customize the workout you perform to meet your individual ectomorph weight gain and muscle building needs. Don't forget important things like eating prior to working out in order to give your body the fuel it needs to build muscles. In fact, you should eat five to six meals each day while working towards ectomorph weight gain.

By taking the advice given to you in this article today, you'll increase the odds of looking how you want to in the mirror. Remember, it's going to take you a little more time so be patient.
