Ectomorphs(Skinny Type)
Ectomorphs should concentrate on gaining weight in the form of good lean muscle tissue (some women that are too thin may also want to put on a little fat to look more feminine). Weight training should be done but not too often or for too long each session. Weight should be fairly heavy and workout pace slower (longer rest periods between sets). Diet should be high in calories (good quality food not junk) and you should eat more then you're used to and often. Aerobic and other activities (sports, dancing, etc.) should be kept to a minimum, at least until you are happy with your weight and looks.

Best Supplements For Skinny Guys:
- Weight Gainer Powders
Weight gain products are the most important supplement for skinny guys. Muscle building is all about calories for ectomorphs, often ectomorphs need to have a higher surplus than other body types. Weight gain shakes provide a massive injection of calories and BCAAs, essential for growth.
Best weight gainers: Prolab N-Large II, BSN Truemass & CytoSport CytoGainer - Creatine
Anyone serious about performance should be taking creatine. Creatine is not just for weight training, but a near-essential for all sports from sprinting to Bass fishing! Ectomorphs need all the extra help they can get, and creatine can help push out those extra few rep in the gym!
Best creatine products: BSN Cellmass,any reputable creatine monohydrate - Casein Protein
Typically, skinny guys have raging metabolisms! This is one of the factors that hinders lean muscle growth. Most skinny guys will tell you that they tend to eat more often than other, even if they’re not training. Casein protein is important because it releases slowly which means (especially during the night) that your muscles don’t go hungry. Casein protein can take up to 7 hours to be completely absorbed which means a longer lasting fuel source for your muscles.
Best casein products: ON 100% Casein Protein - Dextrose/Complex Carbs
Dextrose is much more powerful than most people give it credit for. It is the simplest all of simple carbs and is awesome for creating a huge insulin spike! Dextrose should only be taken post workout when your body needs extra insulin to move nutrients to muscles as quick as possible.
Best dextrose products: any 100% pure dextrose - EFAs
Essential fats play a huge role in muscle building, and if you’re not getting enough you’ll eb seriously hampering your growth. Products like Udo’s Oil are perfect for bodybuilders, providing a perfect balance of omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9.
