![]() ![]() I got up to 198lbs and then got no further – I hit a wall. Up above I said a “ Naturally skinny person can achieve an athletic look but won’t become a sumo wrestler” – I know this first hand because 2 summers ago, I actually tried to get as big as I possibly could. In actuality it usually plays out like this:Ī naturally skinny person (ectomorph) can achieve an athletic look but won’t become a sumo wrestler.Ī naturally athletic person (mesomorph) can become a sumo wrestler but won’t become a skinny person.Ī natural sumo wrestler (endomorph) can achieve an athletic look but won’t become a skinny person. “First of all you suck, secondly I don’t care what you can do Charles, what does this do for me”?Īgain, speaking in generalities, usually women strive for the ectomorph look and men strive for the mesomorph look. When I say disproportionaly stronger, here are my weird figures: Put it this way I don’t have the strength to bench press 200 lbs (which pretty much makes me a tool, my 5 year old daughter can bench more than me!) on the flip side, I can leg press over 850 lbs. So how does that play out in the real world? My legs gain muscle very easily I can see substantial gains in my strength in short amounts of time. My lower body is disproportionately much stronger than my upper body. And since men store most of their fat in their upper body, mostly around their waist, (Women on the other hand usually store excess fat around their hips and thighs) it’s an even greater feat. Everything is lean, I have sweat blood for every ounce of muscle I put on my upper body consequently, my body fat is relatively low at 9.6%. Eats the daily recommended 2500 calories and gains 10lbs anyway – they usually have very large bones, high levels of fat storage, and a wide waist.īut that’s not the whole story, this is only half of the story – 90% of people living don’t fit into one category, they are actually a combination of two – I will use myself as an example: What is my body type: Ecotmorph, Endomorph or Mesomorph? I am Ecto/Mesomorph ![]() website, and being fat is not a negative) person. Endomorphic: Basically the fat (Yes, fat! This is not a P.C.(This would be my business partner Julie, but she ain’t important so.yeah, we won’t worry about her right now.) Works out once a week and stays strong – they usually have an athletic build, large bones, low fat levels, narrow waist. Mesomorphic: Basically the athletic person.Eats chocolate chip cookies all day and loses 3lbs – they usually have long thin bones and muscles, very little fat storage. Ectomorphic: Basically the skinny person (the “skinny bitch”) you secretly envy.Sorry that I’m kind of cut off visually in the video.What is my body type: Ecotmorph, Endomorph or Mesomorph? The types: Ecto, Meso & Endo These types aren’t set in stone, but they can give you extra insight into whether you’re going to have to expend way more energy to gain muscle (ecto) or lose fat (endo).īody type eating: Find out whether it’s right for you. You’re not going to see many (any?) endomorphs in the NBA or as long-distance runners, but on the flip side it will be a cold day in hell before you see any ectos as football lineman or heavyweight powerlifters (for the most part). It can give you a sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and which sports might be best suited to you. For example, ectos tend to do better with carbs, whereas endos do not. These categories of body types can give you some initial insight into which macros are better for you. ![]() The reason that the three of us did this video together is that each of us corresponds to the three main body types. Looks at a cake the wrong way and gains a pound. Easily gains size, which is good for muscle gain, but bad for fat loss. ![]() Rarely has to lose weight, but unlike the ectomorph can build muscle fairly easily.Įndomorph-Short, stocky, big-boned. But on the flip side it’s hard to gain muscle. Can eat anything they want without gaining a pound. You may not be familiar with these terms but I’ll bet when I describe them you’ll recognize them.Įctomorph-Typically tall and skinny. In this video, we talk about the three main body types, namely the ectomorph, the mesomorph, and the endomorph. ![]()
