Ectomorph, Mesomorph, Endomorph

[ShAiOnEi]

I'm between an ectomorph and a mesomorph what are you?

Discuss and if anyone doesn't know these are somatotypes that determines your body type whether you can eat what ever you want and do nothing and never gain a pound or muscle or you can eat what ever you want and gain muscle mass without having to worry about fattening up rather then the ones who do have a great advantage in gaining muscle mass but it is harder to lose the mass you just put on.

Also here is a quiz to try out:http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/becker3.htm

Typical traits of an ectomorph:

* Small “delicate” frame and bone structure
* Classic “hardgainer”
* Flat chest
* Small shoulders
* Thin
* Lean muscle mass
* Finds it hard to gain weight
* Fast metabolism

Typical traits on a Mesomorph:

* Athletic
* Hard body with well defined muscles
* Rectangular shaped body
* Strong
* Gains muscle easily
* Gains fat more easily than ectomorphs

Typical traits of an Endomorph:

* Soft and round body
* Gains muscle and fat very easily
* Is generally short and “stocky”
* Round physique
* Finds it hard to lose fat
* Slow metabolism

Not critical thinking.

Oh ok thanks for moving anyways here is some more information on the topic...

Somatotyping looks at how fat, muscular and linear the body is, in that order. Everyone's body shape can be described by three numbers from 1 to 7, one for each of the three basic somatotypes. There are three extremes:

* Extreme Endomorph
o wide hips and narrow shoulders (pear-shaped)
o a lot of fat on the body, upper arms and thighs
o quite slim wrists and ankles
* Extreme Mesomorph
o broad shoulders and relatively narrow hips (wedge-shaped)
o muscular body
o strong forearms and thighs
o very little body fat
* Extreme Ectomorph
o narrow shoulders, hips and chest
o thin face, high forehead
o thin legs and arms
o very little muscle or fat

Everyone is a mixture of all three basic body types, with ratings such as 3 4 4 or 3 5 2.

Mesomorph...tad bit of endomorph in there probably if I'm not working out

Re: Ectomorph, Mesomorph, Endomorph

I scored a 2.33, between Ectomorph and Mesomorph.

I would say I lean more toward Ectomorph, though.

Re: Ectomorph, Mesomorph, Endomorph

I'm in the middle between Ectomorph and Mesomorph

Re: Ectomorph, Mesomorph, Endomorph

Your score is 2.08. Your body is closest to a Mesomorph. You have a naturally fit body but to maintain it or improve it you should exercise and diet correctly for your type. Strength training can be done more often and for longer sessions then would be good for an Ectomorph, but you must still be carefull not to overdo it. You should train with moderate to heavy weighs and at a moderate pace, not resting too long between sets. You will find you gain muscle quite easy (some women and even men might not want to get too bulky, but this won't happen suddenly. When you are happy with your muscle size simply train to maintain it). Stick to a good healthy diet to keep you lean and muscular, and watch for any slow creeping fat gains. Engage in and enjoy aerobic activities, sports, etc. but do not overdo.

I got a 2. I am in a ton of sports, run, and work out daily. Maybe that is why....hmmm.

No matter what I eat, I don't gain unnatural weight, so I really shouldn't have to worry.

edit: To add, I do work out quite a bit and everyday, I might be more of a Endomorph really if I didn't train myself like a bitch and keeping my metabolism up.

I really hate any type of extra fat on me to the point where I will exercise way too much, sometimes that's bad though.

Did you actually take the query?
