if you are a true ectomorph with skeletal frame larger than your muscle mass, relatively speaking. Then the only advantage you have over the other body types is a shorter recovery period and higher metabolism. Essentially you are the original hard gainer and will struggle to keep weight on if you do manage to increase muscle mass in any significant way at all.

At least then you will be a high grade endurance athlete like mountain climbing or cycling, rather than a power puncher mma brick shithouse which is fashionable but usually doomed to get fat as fuck because they keep the training calories up in the off season, generally, in my experience, as their youth gives way to adult opportunities like cushy IT desk jobs...
