Consistency is key when it comes to building muscle and choosing the best workout for an ectomorph. However, your workouts aren't always going to be the same. As you change and see results, your workouts should progress.

As a hard gainer, it's going to be a little more challenging for you when it comes to building muscle mass. This is why it's important for you to be very committed and dedicated to the goals and results that you've chosen for yourself. The most important thing to keep in mind as an ectomorph is that your workouts are best if they don't put excess stress on your body caused by over training.

If you play the work smart role and not the work hard role that most hard gainers play in the gym the odds of you seeing lasting results are much higher. Since most hard gainers don't see results in the first couple weeks they tend to train even harder to get the results, which has an adverse effect on the body by not getting you the results at all.

So now, if you will allow me I would like to provide you with a couple tips that you can implement to avoid some of the common problems ectomorphs have with working out.

1st, this might sound obvious or even beginner, but it's insanely important that you make sure to properly warm up and loosen your muscle groups prior to exercising. So many people just walk in the door of the gym and start working out without warming up. This ends up putting excess strain on your muscles and can actually cause you more harm than good.

2) Don't overlook the importance of cardiovascular training. Most people associate this with losing weight but the benefit for hard gainers is that building endurance with year-round cardio is that you're able to burn fat at rest. This means that the weight you gain will be the lean muscle mass ectomorphs are aiming for.

3rd, make sure on days that you life heavy that you allow yourself to rest longer between sets. Lifting heavy is very taxing on the nervous system to taking 60-90 seconds rest between sets will help you recover.

Fourth, the shorter, yet more frequent workout sessions you give yourself the better. Your workouts will end up being of a higher intensity and being targeted at specific muscle groups so you won't need a lot of time.

Each ectomorph body type is similar, yet different. Make sure that the best workout for you as an ectomorph involves tailoring it to your goals. Eating meals five to six times per day that include complex carbs, low sugar fruit, leafy green veggies, and lean proteins will help fuel your body properly and build that lean muscle.

By taking the advice given to you in this article today, you'll increase the odds of looking how you want to in the mirror. Remember, it's going to take you a little more time so be patient.
