weight gain question

Slim-Daddy Posts: 45 Joined: 2002/01/17	2002/06/18, 04:12 AM If someone generally gains fat at a moderate to easy range does that mean they will gain muscle at the same rate? I am an ectomorph but i have gained quite a bit of weight since last august and I find that my weight increases do seem to happen over short periods of time in 5 or 10 pound intervals but Its not exactly all muscle. so im just wondering if muscle gain is as easy as fat gain for someone with my genetics.(ectomorph with endormorphic qualities){hereditary beergut}

Therefore, logic suggests that fat gain is more easily acquired. Genetics also play a role but I believe that it only limits the amount of lean muscle one can gain. It does not determine how fast one will be able to gain mass. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!
