For ectomorph people, gaining muscle/getting big is truly an up-hill battle. It seems like the whole world—everything and everyone—is conspiring against you and your dream of getting into the best shape of your life.

Having a crush on some girl: You will naturally think more and more about that girl. That lack of concentration means longer time needed to finish your tasks, and that in turn means you will have less time for training (working out, eating, sleeping, and resting).

Freshman year in college: you are supposed to enjoy college life—joining fraternities, getting wasted, hooking up as much as possible, becoming popular, etc. After all, college comes only once in a lifetime, doesn’t it?

You probably already know how much effort training to get big requires (here). But it is not just training that takes up this much time and energy from you. Almost any new skill that you want to pick up demands more effort from you than you may think. You just witnessed some guy playing awesome guitar [...]

Are you bigger and stronger today than you were yesterday? If you keep training properly, never skip a meal, never skip a training session, never miss even an hour of your 8-hour night sleep, then you have nothing to worry about. You think it is ridiculous to be able to keep that up for an extended [...]

People tend to do whatever gives them the least difficulty/tension/stress or whatever makes them the happiest first. When you have to figure out the solution to a tough math/econ/physics question, suddenly popped into your head is the thought of this weekend’s crazy party, of playing some rock band with your friends later tonight, or of some [...]
