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

By Jeff Kappel


The most effective or best ectomorph workout isn't one that is consistent and uniform from one day to the next. It's one that evolves, grows, and allows for adjustments according to your workout needs.

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.

If you play the work smart role and not the work hard role that most hard gainers play in the gym the odds of you seeing lasting results are much higher. Since most hard gainers don't see results in the first couple weeks they tend to train even harder to get the results, which has an adverse effect on the body by not getting you the results at all.

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.

1st, this might sound obvious or even beginner, but it's insanely important that you make sure to properly warm up and loosen your muscle groups prior to exercising. So many people just walk in the door of the gym and start working out without warming up. This ends up putting excess strain on your muscles and can actually cause you more harm than good.

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.

Third, if you allow yourself to start lifting heavier to build more muscle you will need to allow your nervous system to recover by giving yourself a little more time to rest between sets.

4th, less is more. So make sure that you increase the frequency of your workouts but cut back on the duration. You should be focusing on targeting specific groups of muscles and lifting at a higher intensity.

Each ectomorph body type is similar, yet different. Make sure that the best workout for you as an ectomorph involves tailoring it to your goals. Eating meals five to six times per day that include complex carbs, low sugar fruit, leafy green veggies, and lean proteins will help fuel your body properly and build that lean muscle.

If you truly want to look like you want to when you stare in the mirror make sure that you keep in mind when it comes to working out as an ectomorph it will take you a little longer than most to get the results you are looking for.
