ectomorphs - how long does it take to build mass on abs

[helme]

do you know how long it generally takes for an ectomorph to build mass on his abs to get it to show? ive been working out for 2 months now but my abs still dont show - not cuz my bf% isnt low enough but cause i dont have any muscle mass on my abs

Hmm, Im having trouble with that, my abs show, but they never increase in size. Get tour body fat under 10% or atleast make sure its under there because mabye this is the problem.

Do some ab crunches on a ball or ab ripper x... easily downloaded of a torrent.

unfortunatly there is no such thing as targeting a single or group of muscle , gaining muscle is done proportionally all around the body , it follows the same concept of losing fat , you can not spot reduce , it is done equally all around the body.
So in order for you to add muscle on your abs , you must gain muscle in general .

wtf umm no bro.

Muscle is NOT gained proportionally unless you train everything equal. I've seen tons of people on here who have swole upper bodys and chicken legs.

Wrong. explain how people have HUUGE upper bodies and chicken legs from never working legs.

Abs should be visible regardless of their mass at low enough BF, however try some weighted crunches they worked with me with weighted hanging leg raisers.

Then why do people work out their chest if they want it to grow, or focus on their arms if they are a weak point? And how do bodybuilders bring up, or even have, weak points if what you're saying is true?

LOL ok for the guy who thinks you can only build muscle in general around youR body and not specific areas: if your theory was true, I would be able to do only bench press end still get away with totally ripped thighs. This is impossible because in order to build muscle in any area of your body you must first tear the muscle by performing some sort of excercise. Then, your body will build back the muscle tissue that you have torn and you will get stronger and your muscles will get larger
