subject: 3 Things To Avoid When Building Muscle Using An Ectomorph Training Program [print this page] Let's face itLet's face it. There are a lot of wrong ways out there to build muscle using an ectomorph training program. What are some of the things you should try to avoid?
1. Working your body too much and too often. This is the first mistake that skinny guys usually make when they start to use an ectomorph training program. If you are constantly working out there is no time left for your muscles to recuperate and be able to build the muscle that you gained. Usually the recommended amount of time to work out with weights is 3 days a week.
2. Going for lighter weights and more reps. This is one tip that I am glad I read in the ectomorph training program. Time and time again I see guys in the gym that are trying to bulk up go for weights that are far lighter than what they could be be using. This is not the best and fastest way to build muscle as a lot of people have been led to believe lately. Yes it will build muscle faster than sitting on the couch eating burgers, but while you are in the gym you should try to lift weights that are heavier and are going to give you a bigger workout in smaller reps. Do not misread this however, I am not recommending that you lift more than your body can handle. You should always consult with a physician before you begin any kind of workout regimine and determine how much weight you should be attempting in your ectomorph training program.
3. Going for the easier workout first. While it's very tempting to come into the gym and hit up the easier workout machines first, try to avoid this behavior. Instead use that explosive energy at the beginning of the workout to really work your muscles to their max. Then work your way to the lighter exercises to finish it up.
There is a lot to learn when starting off on a new ectomorph training program but luckily there are guides that can help these skinny guys start to really pack on the muscle that they have been working so hard to achieve.
