Ectomorph Workout - Isolation Exercises

Ectomorph Workout - Isolation ExercisesAuthor: JamesI always say that if you're an ectomorph, you'll want to focus on heavy compound lifts in the beginning.  The purpose of that workout routine is so you'll build a strong base and train your CNS to take the load of heavy weights.  The compound lifts will allow you to gain the most mass in the least amount of time, but they don't allow for good muscle separation or anything of the like.  After you have built a good base for yourself, it's a good idea to start doing isolation exercises.Here are some of my favorite isolation exercises to do as an ectomorph: Cable pushdown:  When doing cable pushdowns, take the short bar with a pronated grip and straighten your back.  Then pull the bar down while keeping your upper arms static and your elbows tucked in.  The purpose of this exercise is to put continuous strain on the triceps.  Several muscles work as stabilizers in this exercise, including the lats and pecs.  This exercise is great for ectomorphs because it'll build up your arms and increase your bench press. Lateral raise:  Grab two dumbbells and hold them at your sides while standing up.  Raise both of your arms so that they are perpendicular to your body and then lower them again.  Keep your arms straight while doing this.  This isolation exercise targets the lateral deltoids, which is the side of your shoulder.  Doing this consistently will allow you to appear wider at the shoulders and will give you good separation in the deltoids.
