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

By Jeff Kappel


The best workout for an ectomorph is one that that will allow you to grow and evolve as your body gets used to the changes and allows you to make the necessary changes when you need to make them.

As a hard gainer, it's going to be a little more challenging for you when it comes to building muscle mass. This is why it's important for you to be very committed and dedicated to the goals and results that you've chosen for yourself. The most important thing to keep in mind as an ectomorph is that your workouts are best if they don't put excess stress on your body caused by over training.

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.

1) Always warm up the muscle groups you're working the day before diving into more strenuous exercises. Warming up can prevent excessive muscle strain that is par for the course when exercising cold muscles. It doesn't take a lot of time to do a few warm up reps but it does take a long time to recover from the muscle strain that can happen without them.

2) Don't overlook the importance of cardiovascular training. Most people associate this with losing weight but the benefit for hard gainers is that building endurance with year-round cardio is that you're able to burn fat at rest. This means that the weight you gain will be the lean muscle mass ectomorphs are aiming 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.

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

These are the types of workouts that are best for an ectomorph so make sure that your routine is tailored to your specific goals and needs. Eating complex carbs before workouts will help you give your body extra fuel to build muscle and implementing more lean proteins, greens vegetables, and low sugar fruits 5-6x a day will help with 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.
