Building Muscle the Wrong Way.

It is just what you need to flesh out your skinny shape.

Now, back to the birth of the skinny body type. The ectomorph body type was classified in the 1940s by American psychologist William Sheldon who devised a theory linking body types to personality traits. He documented observations of super-confident mesomorphs , convivial endomorphs , and subdued ectomorphs. Sheldon’s link of mind and matter have since been widely criticized as too simplistic.

Physically the 3 somatotypes he classified are the mesomorph body (chunky, attractive and well proportioned) the endomorph body (big, rounded and inclined to run to fat) and the ectomorph body, which is known in bodybuilding circles as “the hard gainer” (slight, slim and resistant to muscle gain, lean or mass).

While his body/mind links have been mostly discarded, Sheldon’s somatotypes are still frequently used as benchmarks for body types.

The somatotypes are often seen as blended, where people have more than one type evident, so you can be an ectomorph with aspects of the classic mesomorph body.

Mesomorph being the ideal, the more you eat and train properly, the more traits of a mesomorph you will take on. With muscle gain, you will widen your shoulders and back and shape up your legs and arms.

Correct diet will allow your body to make the best use of all the food you present it with.

The lean looking female of this body type is often the envy of her endomorph friends because no matter what she eats, she never seems to put on weight. The male of this body type is the long limbed slightly built guy who cannot seem to put on muscle, no matter how much he works out.

While this body type does not gain fat so easily as the other 2 somatotypes, ectomorphs find muscle gain a problem because of their metabolism.

This body type has a high metabolism and need to graze all day long to avoid energy slumps. The trouble is that many ectomorphs eat whatever is at hand rather than food that is good for them.

Your body is like a steam train that needs constant stoking with the best fuel you can get your hands on to keep you running at peak performance.

You really have to make sure that whatever you put in your stomach is the best fuel for it – that means you too must cut the saturated fats right back in order to be fit and healthy and for optimal muscle gain, whether lean or mass muscle.

Do your body a great big favour and make the commitment to cut deep fried food from your regular diet. No more hot chips (french fries). You will never regret it.

You should eat a high carb diet. This diet should focus on the best carbs for you – keep simple carbs to a minimum and concentrate on complex carbs that will give you long term energy to sustain your highly metabolised body.

Try eating twice as much protein as fats and twice as much carbs as protein for a hardcore high carb diet to suit your body type.

Keep peanut butter or raw nuts or protein bars or protein shakes handy for healthy, energy packed fast food.

With regard to exercise, you should concentrate on resistance workouts to gain muscle mass. Heavy weights with longer than average breaks between sets for best recovery will suit your workout to gain muscle mass, whether you are after large or lean muscles. 2-3 minutes between sets is ideal.

You do not need to worry too much about aerobic or cardio workouts. It fact, due to your rapid metabolism, these workouts could be detrimental.

You may lose rather than gain muscle mass because your body will eat into your hard earned muscles if you do too much cardio.

Be a Happy Hard Gainer

Build a Body to be Proud of – Look Awesome & Feel Fantastic

If you are a hard gainer (ectomorph) you are naturally

* Fine boned

* Long limbed

* Weak and Skinny

* Clothes hang off your lanky frame

and

* You don’t put on muscle or fat very easily.

You are often envied by your bigger friends for your ability to eat huge quantities of anything and everything without putting on weight.

But they don’t envy the shapeless figure of a hard gainer and you don’t want to be a skinny ectomorph.

You want a strong attractive body with shape and definition that you can show off with pride. You want to gain weight fast.

You can gain weight fast and build big muscles that bulge or lean muscles that give you a sexy shapely body tone.

But because you are a hard gainer, you have to go about transforming your body in particular and specific ways for healthy weight gain.

You as an ectomorph will not build muscle with a “one size fits all” fitness and diet program. You will not gain weight fast with a standard set of exercises and diet selections.

You have to put the effort where you know it will work.

It all comes back to knowing the correct diet and exercise to gain weight fast.

How a Hard Gainer has to eat

Eat often. Start every day with a good breakfast within on hour of waking up.

Keep on eating at 2-2 1/2 hour intervals throughout the day for healthy weight gain.

Eat clean. Just because as a hard gainer you “can” gorge on bucketsful of deep fried junk food, you must not do it.

Eating junk will hinder your progress for healthy weight gain.

Now, while your body type does not gain fat so easily as the other 2 somatotypes (mesomorph and endomorph), ectomorphs find muscle gain a problem because of your natural metabolism.

Your body type has a high metabolism so you need to graze all day long to avoid energy slumps.

The trouble is that many hard gainers eat whatever is at hand rather than food that is good for them.

You have to have plenty of prepared snacks at arms reach to dig into to avoid poor nutrition.

You really have to make sure that whatever you put in your stomach is the best fuel for it – that means you too must cut the saturated fats right back in order to be fit and healthy and for optimal muscle gain, whether lean or mass muscle.

Do your body a great big favour and make the commitment to cut deep fried food from your regular diet. No more hot chips (french fries). You will never regret it.

A hard gainer should eat a high carb diet

Focus your diet on the best carbs for you – keep simple carbs to a minimum and concentrate on complex carbs that will give you long term energy to sustain your highly metabolised body.

Wholegrain breads, oats, pastas, rice and polenta are excellent choices.

Try eating twice as much protein as fats and twice as much carbs as protein for a hardcore high carb diet to suit your body type.

Keep peanut butter or raw nuts or fruit or protein bars or protein shakes handy for healthy, energy packed fast food.

The best hardgainer workout to gain weight fast

How to build muscle fast as a hard gainer.

Train heavy, but not long or often for the best hardgainer workout to gain weight fast. 1 hour in the gym 3 times a week is how to build muscle fast.

Any longer and you will bite into your muscles and lean tissue and undo all your good efforts.

Avoid cardio. Until you build muscle to work with that is, then be very careful and specific with the cardio you choose.

Lengthy steady state cardio is not a good choice for a hardgainer workout. You want to get some muscular curves on your bones, not stay lean and lanky.

Concentrate on resistance workouts to gain muscle mass. Heavy weights with longer than average breaks between sets is how to build muscle fast whether you are a male or female ectomorph.

Whether you are after large or lean muscles, 2-3 minutes between sets for a hardgainer workout is ideal.
