my ectomorph bodybuilding progress

Being both an ectomorph and a hard gainer i felt tired of my seeing my thin looking phsyique in the mirror. A while back I used to be 65kg (143lbs) at 6'2" which isn't very good, not good at all. Started training at home and manage to go up to 71kg in a few months which i was happy with.

After that i didn't train for over a year due to being at uni and managed to maintain my weight but i still felt too lanky. So i began to do research and develop a somewhat solid understanding of muscle building and appropriate diets, workout systems and a diet that works for an ectomorph. Using what i found, i was able to get upto 81kg (178lbs) in about 4 months which i think is pretty good. So i guess i thought i'd make a vid of my progress so far to inspire those ectomorphs and hardgainers out there that need a little extra motivation, Keep up the good work.

Iam getting tired of so many people calling themself "Hardgainer", man looks like you got the afro genes in you body that faster your muscle metobolism. I have worked my ass of and had a great diet so far (5 months) and even I have not gained 3 inch bigger arm or bulked up. Like Scooby (youtube) says that building up muscle takes time. Nice progress man! ^^

@adlemoss I agree, building actual muscle is a slow process. At the time, I got alot of begginer gains + the usual increase in glycogen so i gained alot of weight quite quickly. And I was following a 'bulking' style of diet so my body fat did increase a little so it all adds up. These days my gains are slower and steady, and thats what it's all about, keeping focused, dedicated and consistent. A few pounds of actual muscle in the right places does wonders for ones frame. Keep up the hard work!

well done - but did you train legs??

[wingless87]

@MrRyan200 Yup, I worked legs pretty hard. Especially with squats and stiff-legged dead lifts. I neglected my calves though.

It´s funny that so many people claim they are hard gainers. Gaining muscles is hard for everyone!

Ectomorphs always look the best after putting on muscle

[Ectomorph1981]

@voodoochild234 Yes it is, but it is still a hell of a lot harder for ectomorphs

[Harbert95]

@voodoochild234 nope,slightly true but not tryin to be arrogant or nothin but do some studies my friend, there are 3 types of bodies, tall, lanky, boney Ectomorphs they burn fat quickly but gain muscle very very slowly and must eat alot, and then your average joe healthy living medium-tall height Mesomorphs who eat ahealthy diet and stay fit, and then theres the endomorphs large boned "fat" looking people who can gain muscle quick but still have a hard time burning fat,
