Muscular bulk isn’t hard to come by.
A long period of force feeding and consistent training will take an ectomorph to endomorph and then from there to mesomorph.
If bodyweight was hard to gain there wouldn’t be so much blubber in sight every time you go to a damn walmart.
Where somatotyping is wrong is the general thought that type can’t change via stimuli or lifestyle. It can, and hybrid types do exist.
The difference between 300lbs of fat fuck and 275lbs of lineman/linebacker hybrid is training, protein intake, and actual nutrition in the calories.
It’s not hard to be big. You get to eat copious quantities of foods you crave, then down some dirty sugar calories to keep the caloric intake high.
Fat fucks manage to weigh scale = fatass. You’re telling me with training and eating big with actual nutritious calories you can’t get to similar poundages?
Look to sumo.

I say this all the time. Two giant feedings a day, some muscular usage…you’ll be big and strong.
To the so called “hardgainer” ; get out of your head and just do the work. Do the work, the required consistency is a process of years. Train for 5 years, big calories, lots of volume you’re gonna carry loads of muscle on your frame. Train for 10 years, big calories, even more so.
16 year old me wouldn’t believe it, the process isn’t truly difficult.
