Body types...


💥💥💥💥Body Types


Are you an ectomorph, mesomorph or endomorph?The body type you have influences how you respond to diet and training, so it is important to understand your body type in order to plan your muscle building training and diet programme. This will open your eyes to the reason why you may not be making any gains or losses in the gym.


💥 After you read the body type chapter, you will start to understand more about how your body type works, your metabolism and gaining weight. So it’s important to be able to identify and understand your body type. Different body types require different training methods and diet plans. Listed below are the 3 male body types: ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph, along with their characteristics.


💥1. Ectomorph

An ectomorph is a typically skinny person. Ectos have a light build with small joints and lean muscle. They usually have long thin limbs with stringy muscles. Their shoulders tend to be thin with little width. Typical traits of an ectomorph: • Small “delicate” frame and bone structure • Classic “hard gainer” • Flat chest • Small shoulders • Thin • Lean muscle mass • Finds it hard to gain weight • Fast metabolism Ectomorphs find it very hard to gain weight. They have a fast metabolism that burns up calories very quickly. Ectos need a huge amount of calories in order to gain


Workouts should be short and intense, focusing on big muscle groups. Supplements are definitely recommended. Ectomorphs should eat before bed to prevent muscle catabolism during the night. Generally, ectomorphs can lose fat very easily which makes cutting back to lean muscle easier for them.


💥2. Mesomorph

A mesomorph has a large bone structure, large muscles and a naturally athletic physique. Mesomorphs are the best body type for bodybuilding. They find it quite easy to gain and lose weight. They are naturally strong, which is the perfect platform for building muscle. Typical traits on a mesomorph:• Athletic• Generally hard body• Well-defined muscles• Rectangular shaped body• Strong• Gains muscle easily• Gains fat more easily than ectomorphsThe mesomorph body type responds the best to weight training. Gains are usually seen very quickly, especially for beginners. The downside to mesomorphs is they gain fat more easily than ectomorphs. This means they must watch their calorie intake. Usually, a combination of weight training and cardio works best for mesomorphs.


💥 3. Endomorph

The endomorph body type is solid and generally soft. Endomorphs gain fat very easily. Endos usually have a shorter build with thick arms and legs. Their muscles are strong, especially the upper legs, and are naturally strong in leg exercises like the squat. Typical traits of an endomorph: • Soft and round body • Gains muscle and fat very easily • Generally short • “Stocky” build • Round physique • Finds it hard to lose fat • Slow metabolism • Muscles not so well definedWhen it comes to training, endomorphs find it very easy to gain weight. Unfortunately, a large portion of this weight is fat, not muscle. To keep fat gain to a minimum, endomorphs must always train cardio, as well as weights. Usually, supplements may not be needed as long as the person has a high protein intake in their diet.


💥A Combination of Body Types These body types aren’t set in stone. In fact, most guys have a combination of two body types. These combinations are either ectomorph / mesomorph or mesomorph / endomorph. It is not uncommon to find a pure mesomorph that gains weight, like an endomorph for example. So which body type are you? Given the information above, you should be able to identify your body type. You may also want to optimise your diet and training to suit your body type. One final point, I want to mention that no matter what your body type is, you can build a big, ripped, muscular physique or a sleek well-toned physique.


💥The choice is ultimately yours and yours alone. Even the skinniest of people can bulk up. Yes, it’s harder, but if you’re willing to put in the hard work it can be done. It is also the same for gals wanting to lose weight. Even if you have an endomorph type physique, you can lose the pounds that you may want to with the correct diet and training / rest.The message is clear. Despite your body type, it is down to you to train and diet correctly to achieve the shape you want. It can be done.
