5 Most Common Mistakes Ectomorphs make in Attempting to Gain Weight!

Posted on December 24th, 2009 at 5:43 am by Chris

I have compiled a list of the Five (5) Most Common Mistakes Ectomorphs make when attempting to gain weight.

Not Eating Enough: Might seem like common sense but many of us forget this simple aspect. You need to calculate how many calories you consume on a daily basis and how much more you need to consume to gain the desired amount of weight each week.
Unrealistic Expectations: Gaining weight is not easy. You won’t gain 30 pounds of lean muscle in a month. Many of us become dissillusioned with the slow progress becoming impatient, pessimistic and so give up.
Working out too much: A bad habit that many of us needing to gain weight have. Too much exercise and weightlifting is counterproductive. Remember you have a very fast metabolism. So Chill!
Taking Weight Gain Supplements: Supplements can be expensive and might not work for everyone. Drink Protein Shakes instead. Ensure Drink is an excellent weigt gain shake.
Eating Unhealthily: This will only put on fat and not lean muscle. You can irreparably damage your health and end up with a body much worse and very ill proportioned.

Hope you found this post helpful in your quest to gain weight. I welcome all types of feedback and if there is anything you would like to add, agree or disagree with feel free to leave a comment!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Hi sir,
i hope you are satisfy my answer

Tips on how to gain weight quickly are priceless to skinny people who struggle to put on some extra pounds. The world we live in is a contradictory one. There are folks who put on weight rather effortlessly and yearn to lose their weight and fats through unhealthy diets. Yet on the other end of the spectrum, thin people find it tremendously challenging to gain that extra few pounds to enhance their physical appearance and regain some masculine appeal in the case of men. Skinny ladies also dream of fitting nicely into beautiful clothes that look so fabulous on those svelte and voluptuous models. But do not envy those who put on weight too easily, especially those through unhealthy diets. It is better to understand the fundamentals behind healthy weight gain. This is where you can learn more on how to gain weight quickly and healthily.
Thank you sir.

Your welcome! This post is so true! We have to understand our body types. Understanding the fundamentals behind healthy weight gain is certainly the best thing one can do! It’s so funny you mention about skinny ladies. I have made a new post specially dedicated to women trying to gain weight. Many skinny ladies are afraid of muscle building exercises and lifting weights because they don’t want to become muscular. I debunk that myth however in my new post.

Hi There,
First A very happy new year to all of you out there.
In regards to gaining weight i would like to share my own experience that has been a long and painfull process of hope and defeat,sucess and failure.This process started some three years ago with a strong will to gain weight ,howver i tried everything possible in the world to gain weight.From balanced meals,to drinking juices and banana shakes,for high protein food to junk food.i tried everything possible on earth to gain some ‘X’tra pounds.The only sucess that i ever got was when i had started taking creatine powder for around 2 months and brought my metabolism to a standstill.It did help a lot and i gained around 7 odd kgs in 2 months.Then came the despair and failure,as i’m a workoholic person , i couldnt maintain this schedule for long and very quickly my weight gain graph droped exponentially.So i lost all the 7kgs plus a bit more.but still i havent givin up and will continue my journey towards acheiving my goal of gaining weight.
and my best wishes to all those who want to gainweight in 2010.
