Hello!

Over the years, I have observed the lives of many people, friends and gym
goers, and one thing always strikes me: ectomorphs (the "tall, skinny" type)

Correct me if I am wrong, but I get the feeling they GENERALLY are more
gifted in the nervous system functions (stronger and faster on a pound per
pound basis, quick learners too) and are almost never sick.

I have once heard that bodyfat acts as a reserve of energy, mostly for times
of sickness.

So here is my hypothesis:

Since ectomorphs have a more gifted nervous system, and are rarely sick,
isn't is just logical that they have more difficulty storing fat / making
muscular gains because they just plain don't need to?

Open to any discussion.

That's my 2 cents.

Dan C.
