Do Endomorphs gain muscle fast?

People with an endomorph body type tend to have a slow metabolism, making it easier for them to gain weight and harder for them to lose it. This also stunts muscle growth. However, following a specific diet and exercise plan can often help people with endomorphic bodies meet and maintain their health goals.

How much muscle can I put on genetically?

Most men can naturally gain 40 to 50 pounds of muscle in their lifetimes, and most women can naturally gain 20 to 25 pounds.

How much muscle can you gain in a year with good genetics?

In my opinion, it’s rare to see a natural bodybuilder or fitness enthusiast close to their genetic muscular potential gain more than 2-3 pounds of lean muscle in a year. This is why it’s an accomplishment when experienced bodybuilders manage to gain 7-10 pounds of fat-free muscle in a year.

How much do genetics determine muscle growth?

All three muscle variables have a moderate genetic component with heritability estimates of 0.52 for lean body mass, 0.46 for leg extensor strength, and 0.30 for grip strength (all p < 0.05).

Can endomorphs pack on muscle easily?

The good news is endomorphs can pack on muscle fairly easily. The bad news is this body type is prone to excessive accumulation of body fat! Women tend to have pear-shaped bodies, with fat distribution concentrated in the hips and thighs, and then often in the upper arms and lower legs. Men have the “beer belly” and are just overall fat or plump.

Why do people write about bulking but ignore endomorphs?

It seems that whenever someone writes an article about bulking (a diet program geared towards gaining muscle mass) it is directed either to ectomorphs or mesomorphs but ignores endomorphs. Why does this matter? Because the common strategies for gaining muscle mass written for ectomorphs or mesomorphs are not optimal for endomorphs.
