Question for ectomorphs who've made some good progress(size/strenght)

[Pale Assassin]

I would really appreciate if some of you guys could answer a few questions for me.

1) From the point that you started making steady gains in strength/size what routine did you use?

2) Im sure it was a simple one but what was it about it that made it work for you?

3)How many days a week did you train most body parts and mostly have many days of rest between your workouts?

Well i am an ectomorph....and i went from 103 to 166 lbs in a little over a year. And first thing i should tell you is that what works for me wont necessarily work for you....experiment a little.

1.) My routine :
Day 1: Chest
Day 2: Back
Day 3: Rest
Day 4: Leg/ Shoulders
Day 5: Arms
Day 6: Rest
Day 7: Rest

2.) I really just focused on using heavy weights with lower reps while using good form.....and you gotta EAT A LOT i used N Large II

3.) I trained and still train each muscle once a week with a total of 3 rest days as shown above in my post

But this is just me .... it may or may not work for you. Anyway hope this helps.

I started out about 6 months ago when I was 6'4 140. I could barely bench 100 pounds, my arms probably weren't even 12 inches. I had an unhealthy diet and didn't even have a six pack at that weight. Now 6 months later I'm 6'5 175 lbs. I have a 210 benchpress, 14 inch arms, and a six pack. I should hopefully be around 185-190 by spring break. I've tried just about every program, from grossly overtraining to the HIT method. I get the best results by doing 4 sets of each exercise, with 12 sets per bodypart. Some people might think this is overtraining, but not if you eat 3+ cans of tuna a day and sleep at least 9 hours a night. My training system is divided into 3 workouts for every 5 days...
1-Legs/Arms
2-Rest
3-Back
4-Chest
5-Rest

I was 145 a little over a year ago. I'm now a little over 200. eating is the main thing with us ectomorphs. I got sick one day and lost 10 pounds. It's friggin crazy. Just train one muscle group a week and get tons of sleep and eat lots of food. It's harder for us to put on weight, so we have to work extra hard.
