Dear Casey,

In the ectomorph section of the 10 sets of 10 reps article, I suggest that: "Ectomorphs, or hardgainers, are those of you who are naturally skinny and have a super fast metabolism. If this is your case, then you are best served by training every other day, and if you cannot train over the weekends, then just Monday, Wednesday and Friday performing Workout (A) on Monday, Workout (B) on Wednesday and Workout (C) on Friday"

I recommend every other day training for the 10 sets of 10 reps workout since this workout is extremely challenging and taxing to the nervous system of a hardgainer.  However, if a hardgainer desires to train two days on and one day off using this method, as long as they find that they can still recover, then it is ok to do so.
