The most effective or best ectomorph workout isn't one that is consistent and uniform from one day to the next. It's one that evolves, grows, and allows for adjustments according to your workout needs.It's great to be dedicated to the cause of gaining weight even though you know you're a hard gainer and will find your path to greater muscle mass difficult. However, the one common problem that most ectomorphs face as they begin the ectomorph weight training routine is that they over train which leads to unnecessary and potentially damaging muscle stress.
I have to be upfront, the odds of you seeing major results in the first couple weeks are not very likely. Just don't let that discourage you and be aware that you'll have to be a little more patient in seeing results once your body adjusts. We all want to see results when we put in the work, but in this case you have to work smart.
Here are a few tips that can help you avoid common problems that often impact beginning ectomorph training programs. 1) Always warm up the muscle groups you're working the day before diving into more strenuous exercises. Warming up can prevent excessive muscle strain that is par for the course when exercising cold muscles. It doesn't take a lot of time to do a few warm up reps but it does take a long time to recover from the muscle strain that can happen without them.
2nd, remember that you need to still do the right kind of cardio training. Uninformed or wrongly informed people will think that this is for people who want to lose weight but as a hard-gainer this will help you burn fat while resting since it'll build your endurance. When you incorporate this type of training you'll increase the odds of putting on shredded lean muscle.
3) Allow plenty of "rest" time between sets. Heavier weights lead to greater strain for muscles. Longer rest periods allow time for your system to recover from what you've just finished.
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.
Customize the workout you perform to meet your individual ectomorph weight gain and muscle building needs. Don't forget important things like eating prior to working out in order to give your body the fuel it needs to build muscles. In fact, you should eat five to six meals each day while working towards ectomorph weight gain.
If you continue to incorporate these tips into your workout you'll see real results in the mirror over time that are sure to please. You will have to do some things that others aren't willing to do. When you do these, you'll also get what they won't.

If you want to build muscle you must implement the best workout for an ectomorph, then make sure that you implement the proper ectomorph diet plan.
Hey Jeff, that was a great write up. It really is very difficult for Ectomorphs to gain weight and I completely agree with the fourth point. HIIT is very really helpful for ectomorphic body type.I usually do my HIIT workouts using a 7-minute-fitness-workout app available in iTunes. The duration is less and its really effective.
