Ectomorph trying to build muscle Posted: 01-03-08 14:30pm
Im an ectomorph, i believe thats the right
term, I've been thin all my life no matter
what my diet. I want to bulk up before
spring. Any advice on building muscle nad
keeping weight on. Preferably somethn not
involving having to Go to a gym bc I dont
have the time or money to get a
membership. Any at home worouts to hep
meaccomplish this would be awsome. Dieting
tips to wold be great.

No gym, no weights, no chance =/
I could attempt to show you a better
dieting to increase mass (in general), but
without the weights, you aren't going to
increase your muscle mass. Doing
calistenics and cardio isn't going to
increase your size so much, but rather
solidfy it and increase stamina.

I had the same problem, lol. Except I
could go to the gym. Here's some tips:
1. Eat lots of small meals throughout the
day
2. Muscle explosiveness exercises might
build muscle, I'm not sure, but it may
work. Use clapping pushups for upper body
and jump squats for lower body.
3. Pushups and curls will increase stamina
and solidify muscles, but that may be
desirable even if bulk is ur primary goal
4. U have at home personal weights? Well,
since I'm assuming they are smaller than
gym-sized weights, u will only be able to
train the smaller muscle groups:
-Bicep curls for biceps
-Wrist curls for wrist/forearm
-Tricep curls for triceps
-Trap lifts for shoulders (with a dumbell
in each hand and arms down, lift ur arms
up while keeping them straight until ur
arms form a straight line)
-U cant do benching, so just use pushups
for chest
-U cant do lat pull downs on a machine, so
just use pullups on a tree or something
for upper back
U can incorporate home weights into ur
lower body routine by holding dumbells
while doing squats (for upper legs) or
calf raises (for lower legs)
