halcj: Sorry but I really don't agree with this - if you are thin, eat more. Other than that, everything that applies to others applies to you. Heavy training will work for anyone, overuse of drop sets and intensity techniques will not. Any program that gets a beginner to perform regular heavy lifts and eat WILL WORK, even for a skinny "ectomorph".

Musclecoach: The first remark was on a video from my youtube channel. I co-own a gym in Norway and the video was for a circuit we ue for people over 60. There are 100 other videos you can choose from.

Musclecoach: The big question in a discussion such as this is: Are the abdominal muscle any different that any other muscle? Do they bend the spine and stabilize it. If they were not ment to work from full extension then why does the spine go back that far?

Musclecoach: As for the stability issues that have been so "in" lately. Of course you need some stability, but if tht was the major issue the abs would not be designed the way they are. Try wrapping tape around you entire midsection "duplicating stability" and see how functional you are. It is really just another issue that has been overplayed. Big time

Musclecoach: To answer some of the comments on the article. Yes, I am the same old guy from Ironman, Fred Koch. living in Norway for 15 years. Yes, I have trained hundred of top Olympic athletes with this method and never had an issue. Fred Hatfield first invented the ab bench over 20 years ago. Sold thousands of them. Ever major euipment company makes an ab machine of some sort. The ab mat is a simple,inexpensive version. see fredkoch.com or ab mat original on facebook.

y0lked: As a fellow ecto that has gained 30lbs of LBM in just under 2 years I agree with SOME of these things you have mentioned. However, i do not agree with utilizing sets under 5 reps. For me, i truly believe the combination for adding mass to an ectomorph's frame lies with sets of 6, 7 and 8 paired with a TON of fiber (which you didnt mention and is possibly one of the most important factors in an ectomorphs diet), high GI carbs, quality meat sources and most of all meal frequency (forgotten).
