Skinny People - Muscle Building Tips For Ectomorphs

Skinny people, muscles, Ectomorphs?? Confused? No need to be it is quite simple. Ectomorph is the scientific name given to those body types that are naturally skinny and lithe due to their high metabolism.

This means that if you are the sort of guy that finds it really hard to gain weight via fat or muscle you are mostly likely an Ectomorph that has a body that consumes energy from food so fast there is nothing left to go to fat and also nothing left to feed your muscles when they need it making muscle building a chore for many skinny people who do not know how to overcome and work around their natural predisposition to burn energy like a furnace!

Here are a few tips that you as an Ectomorphs need to adhere to so that you can give yourself the best chance at the muscular, ripped body you want rather than the weak skinny body you have.

  • Eat more - You need to intake much more calories to overcome your high metabolism so you can have enough energy and nutrients left to feed your muscles and add mass.
  • Intensity over time - You need to lift heavier weights more than doing repetitions because only high stress on muscles will cause your body to react and grow the muscles to adapt.
  • Rest to repair - You need to rest enough to give your body time to repair and therefore grow these muscles or you will waste your gym sessions by denying you skinny people muscle growth time it needs.
