It's not necessary to put too much weight...I used to go out with a guy who had a 'flat' pec muscle because he bench pressed way too heavy without stretching or warming up properly and he ripped his pectoral muscle...so he had this permanent damage, a massive dent.
I have not done real heavy strength training in a long time but I was a gym rat--I trained with really fantastic trainers on and off for 15 years and the rule is if you are struggling to keep your form or you are 'straining' its TOO much and you should drop down, if its too easy you should add a little and see how you do.
I also trained myself to always have my core engaged, it protects your back and gives you a little more power.
I used to do a lighter, warm up set to know my sweet spot and then add heavier weight.
I used to do mostly 3 sets of 10-12 with good rests in between at the heaviest weight I could handle and still keep my form and I would hit each muscle from a few angles and I built muscle slow and steady and maintained it for a long time.
I would work each muscle 3x a week.
I am going back to my former trainer in the Fall he is very old school, simple.
It is great if you can build muscle when you are young because if you stop for a few years and then go back your muscle has memory and comes back MUCH easier than if you have to start from scratch...even now when i do free weights even for a few weeks it comes back very quickly.
The form does too, once you train with the focus on proper form--you will always have good form.
Your body just remembers it.

I have a Iranian friend in my program and he literally has one of his leg semi crippled(can't even walk in normal posture, gives him pain) and he has fairly crappy frame and height likely due to underdevelopment resulted from that. And he goes to the gym. No one ever made fun of that. (he has the thickest hair I've ever seen in life though but you get my point)
I am an ectomorph with narrow wrist as well. People commented on my hands being small like a girl. Long torso and unpropotionally short legs. Fucked up posture. Almost impossible to gain muscle. When I had long hair back in the days I kept getting taken as a girl. And I'm asian. Picture that in your head.
When I first started working out I kept giving myself these doubts and negative self talk, caught myself in the mirror, obsessing over my crappy body, wondering what's the point, etc. These resulted in my mentally quiting the gym and the days I was there I was barely finishing the grinding without real gain.
For the past 6 months I was buzzing my head and working out/eating as much as I can and just trying to forget about it. Several months into it my friends commented on me looking bigger, and they were right. Since then I've been having a better mood about working out, noticing my physique getting slowly better, seeing myself slowly outperforming newbies around. And I am able to enjoy some of my good gym days now.
Don't get me wrong, my body is still crap and I never expected gymceling to turn me into an 10/10 alpha. I can't change my frame. But simply seeing myself getting better is a relief somehow.
So the point is when you think of working out or basically anything aiming at improving yourself, don't take it as something to "fix" your fucked up life, because you will not see immediate gain and with that mindset it really brings you down. Think of it as something you truely enjoy and try to build a core of positive momentum around it. Don't let people give you sh*t for that. Once you have a taste of it you just can't stop anymore, because it is honestly one of the few things that you can control and pays off when baldness rape you over, and quiting will result in exponentially increasing helplessness.

Yes I seem to have gotten it from my Mother, although its weird because my pattern is different from hers so far.
I think @buckthorn got it from his mom if not mistaken.

how do you judge it? Do you mean clavicles wider than pelvic? coz in real life I hardly see males who are not and it absolutely doesn't automatically equal good frame.
There are so many things that can f*** up your frame and for me the biggest problem is long torso/spine with short legs making me look like a clown and giving me all sorts of posture problems(hunchback, anterior pelvic tilt, forward neck, etc)

So the moral is, after months/years of gymcelling you got no results and your body "is still crap" as you said, buuuut you're getting bigger and complimented for it at the same time. Seems legit. Coherent, even.
Then you're not an ectomorph, or you're simply delusional. Either way, who cares. If you truly had my same physique and height, you'd have got NO results whatsoever.
