An ectomorph is a person with a naturally lean built, who needs a large number of calories to gain weight. Since ectomorphs have an incredibly fast metabolism, it is extremely difficult for them to gain weight.
Here are some tips fellow ectomorphs should keep in mind while on the quest to gain some muscle weight.
- Sleep more: When you give your body some rest, you are actually allowing it to recover from all the training and grow some muscles.
2. Eat more: If you are slim-built, you should eat frequently to give your body the fuel it requires. Your diet should consist largely of calories and you should make it a habit to eat every few hours.
3. The right exercises: Exercises like squats, deadlifts, shoulder press, bench press and rows, will help you build muscle faster.
