To Build Muscle, Skinny Types Have It Rough

Building muscles can seem like a hopeless mission for people with a skinny frame and a high metabolism. While you almost rub out yourself lifting weights and almost make yourself sick taking weight gain supplements for next to no improvement other bigger guys build muscle skinny types envy by just lifting a few dumbbells and easting a diet of refuse food.

It just dos not seem detached does it?

The reasons for these sharp discrepancies in building muscle is that if you are a skinny guy ( or girl ) and find it hard to put on weight or muscle your body works in a intensely different way to other body types which are categorized into three groups:

Endomorphs

Endomorphs are people with slower metabolisms and are oftentimes stocky and broad and can gain muscle fast but also find gaining fat also very easy. They are natural weight lifters and their struggle is often with losing weight whereas their metabolism is highly geared to absorb nutrients that help in muscle growth but can also store this in fat too much.

Mesomorphs

Mesomorphs are naturally mighty and find it fairly easy to gain muscle and lose weight. They are in the middle of the body types and have the best of both worlds with little pull.

Ectomorphs

This is the skinny type with a high metabolism who finds it hard to gain weight in terms of fat and muscle seeing their body burns through the nutrients necessary to do this fast and their muscles act differently to weight lifting in that of this.

Most people are at last in between these archetypes but if you are skinny and are looking to gain muscle mass you will have to adapt how you go about it to build weight for your body type. Some examples of how to achieve this are as follows:

* Lift heavy - Cut lots of reps, lift exceeding weights with lower reps, this is better for muscle mass while higher reps is better for tone which your body type gains naturally

* Rest Between workouts - Do not go to the gym every day or even every second day, your body needs time to heal, rest and repair for gaining muscle mass.

* Eat more - You need a lot of energy to gain muscle mass and your body metabolizes food so fast you need to learn to eat a lot more than you regularly would.
