Considerations:
- Ectomorphs typically have a high metabolism and may find it challenging to gain weight.
- They may need to eat more frequently and consume nutrient-rich foods.
- They should focus on compound exercises that work multiple muscle groups simultaneously.
- It's important to listen to their bodies and rest when needed.
- Staying hydrated is crucial as ectomorphs tend to sweat more due to their higher metabolism.
