How To Choose The Best Workout For An Ectomoprh Looking To Gain Weight

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.

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.

I have to be upfront, the odds of you seeing major results in the first couple weeks are not very likely. Just don't let that discourage you and be aware that you'll have to be a little more patient in seeing results once your body adjusts. We all want to see results when we put in the work, but in this case you have to work smart.

When it comes to being an ectomorph and getting the best workout let me share with you some valuable strategies that will help you avoid common roadblocks.

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.

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.

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.
