What routines are good for ectomorphs/hard gainers.
Here you will find free bodybuilding routines you can choose one from here or you can submit you own routine for everyone to see.
A lot of people will say that hard gainers should be lifting heavy weights for low reps between 6 to 8 and that will be sufficient to build muscle/put weight on. Although they are not wrong, it does not mean they are right for your body type because everyone is built differently. As you may know by now - just because one routine works for one person does not mean it will work for someone else. There is no point carrying on with a routine if you are not seeing any results.
If there was just one magical routine out there then we would not have people saying do it this way do it that way, they would all be doing the same routine. So because of the above reason I have put together a few routines you can try.
