Adapt Your Bodybuilding Routines For Your Body Type (Part 2) :
The next category we shall look at is the ectomorph body type. These are
people who are generally tall, thin and have long arms and legs; they
naturally have virtually no fat. Most ectomorphs often find themselves
in endurance sports such as x-country running or athletics (high jump),
however they can and do also become professional bodybuilders. The main
thing that ectomorphs need to do is to start eating more of the right
healthy foods, thus increasing the calorie intake to put on weight and
build muscle. They should focus on weight training as opposed to cardio
vascular training and train to failure so you can’t lift the last weight
of a set. Make sure that you’re lifting weights at least 3-4 days a
week, with a rest day between sessions to allow optimum recovery and
muscle growth.
The final category are the mesomorphs, which fall in between the other two categories and are often the envy of the other two body types, as mesomorphs find it easy to build muscle and keep off fat. However, this can often lead to a false sense of security as having this mindset leads to missed training sessions, which eventually catches up with them. If you are a mesomorph just starting bodybuilding, don’t change the amount you eat, but eat healthier and make sure you are eating enough protein to facilitate muscle growth. Mix up your training sessions to incorporate both full body work out sessions and those to target specific muscle groups to improve definition.
It doesn’t matter what your body type is if you want to be a successful bodybuilder, just adjust your training routines and your eating habits accordingly. Be dedicated and passionate and you will achieve your goals.
