Question 1

ectomorph doing which kind of lean workouts?

Accepted Answer

Train hard: The term is used either for someone who is light-framed or for someone who gains muscle relatively more slowly when doing resistance training. Work out for your goals. Aerobic fitness for your definition and overall health; resistance for muscle mass (10 reps / set, 3 sets / workout; 3-4 workout / week). Eat sensibly, enough protein. Get defined &amp; the 'big guys' will be jealous. Cheers.

Question 2

how to tell if i am a mesomorph or ectomorph?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: This is a problem that requires a face-to-face meeting with your doctor.  In that meeting, your doctor will listen to you, perform a throrough examination and possibly order labs or other tests. Based on this information, he/she will be able to tell you what's wrong and what to do about it.

Question 3

what's a good exercise plan for an ectomorph?

Accepted Answer

Or for anyone: For maximum cardiovascular health and optimal changes in body composition exercise  should consist of at least 30 minutes daily of exercise carried out at between 65 and 80% of predicted maximum heart rate.

Question 4

how to determine if i am an ectomorph or a mesomorph?

Accepted Answer

Subscience: There are obsolete / 'pop' terms. A light-framed man who can overlap thumb and forefinger around the opposite wrist may be an 'ectomorph', especially if he's a hard-gainer in the gym. Photo Guy isn't complaining. Best wishes.

Question 5

iam a  ectomorph and iam 27 years old can i use hgh to get big?

Accepted Answer

No, may make you: Leaner, not bigger if you're an ectomorph. People try using it to get leaner. Would stay away from it.

Question 6

can a ectomorph gain weight ever?

Accepted Answer

Subscience: The term ectomorph comes from a 1930's yale study of young men's body measurements. A light-boned man with little fat or muscle was an "ectomorph". You've got your bone structure already, and you ability to gain muscle mass (i assume you don't want fat) is genetic. Do some serious resistance training and consider supplementing with creatine. Photo guy is an ectomorph who proved you too can do it.

Question 7

can you tell me diet for an ectomorph when working out?

Accepted Answer

As for any athlete: You're lighter-framed and many women prefer this. You may be a hard-gainer, but while you're trying to build mass, try to eat a gram of lean protein per pound that you weigh, daily. Beyond this, eat moderately and sensibly. You may be at an advantage over 'naturally big' guys when it comes to definition, and you'll make them jealous.

Question 8

i'm an ectomorph. would it be possible for me to gain weight?

Accepted Answer

Incorrect body type?: Ectomorphs are people who have excessive fatty tissue and by definition tend to be overweight.  Endomorphs are those with a thin habitus and it is possible to gain weight.  See your physician and they will suggest a diet and or activities for you after a physical exam.

Question 9

i'm am ectomorph 52 kgs and 177cm i'm trying to put on a few kgs any advice?

Accepted Answer

69.5 inches, 115 lbs: To gain weight you have to eat more calories than burned. Do this in a healthy way though. Don't choose junk or fast food. Keep a well balanced diet and make sure you are getting all the nutrients you need. Weight lifting and other muscle building exercises can help you increase your body mass. A primary doctor can examine to confirm that general health appears normal. Muscle size is also genetic.

Question 10

how can i gain ripped muscle as an ectomorph?

Accepted Answer

Depends!: You can get in much better shape.  This is what exercise is primarily for.  Looks are important but secondary to this goal. Whatever your build, however, it can be much improved by a combination of weight training and cardio activity. However, you must laso lose uncessary weight as well to get "ripped." therefore a diet plan is needed as well. We all have genetic limitations, but you can improve!
