Resolved Question: What Type of Weight Training should I follow?

Okay, so I'm 5' 9.5", 140 lbs. I guess I would consider myself an ectomorph, but I don't know if I'm really a hardgainer. I mean, when I do exercises like dumbell curls, dumbell lateral raises, etc., all the so-called isolation exercises for bodybuilding, I do gain muscle. Even after doing weight training only once a week, I can notice differences in muscle size and tone. I can also notice that when I haven't trained in a while, the tone and size is lost. So, I don't think I am really a hardgainer. Well, I am planning on regularly doing weight training now, so I was wondering whether I would see better results following one of those specially-made ectomorph workouts for skinny guys, or if I could follow the routines such as those in Arnold Schwarzenegger's encyclopedia.

I know that Reg Park was a major inspirational figure for him, so it's likely he followed something similar to what Reg would have endorsed in bodybuilding magazines of the day. more
