Does High Metabolism Equal faster recover cycle?

Most people with a naturally high metabolism are ectomorph's......so they have a hard time adding fat and muscle. That's why every body builder tries to keep their metabolism high during the off-season....to add more muscle.

Not trying to bust balls, but that statement amkes no sense to me. I understand where you are coming from, and it makes sense in theory. however, mosr bb I know turn into fat slobs in the off-season. They stop their cardio, and increase there calories, all to add muscle.

here's another way to look at it......I'm pretty sure you know that eating every 2-3 hours keeps the nitrogen balance in your blood high (hence the increase in metabolism). Therefore, your muscles would, again, increase the rate of protein and lipid synthesis. This would not only increase the amount of LBM, but also decrease the amount of fat burned during a workout or cardio session.
