I think I’m some where between an ectomorph and a mesomorph. At 5’3 no one would accuse me of being lanky but I have always been told I need to eat and have spent most my life with my weight in the double digits. Odd thing is I always excelled at fast twitch sports. I was a sprinter, high jumper and pole vaulter in my track days in high school.
When I went into Basic military training I had to quit smoking, only ate 3 meal a day and did nothing but calisthenics and cardio (which ectomorphs are supposed to avoid like the plague) I went in on a weight waver at 94 lbs and came out 124 lbs in 6 weeks time. I got lazy and picked up old habits and dropped back down to the double digits over the years.
My question is if I want to get as big as genetically possible should I start using supplements now or wait till I reach my peak weight since I know I can get there without them?
My fear is if I use product brand X that guaranties 20 lb gain in 6 weeks and I start at 98 lb I’ll only get to 118 but if I wait and put those 30 lbs back on I’ll get to 148. For me that would be massive.
