We have all heard of them. Ectomorph, Mesomorph, and Endomorph. Which one applies to you
ECTOMORPH BODY TYPE
The ectomorph can be easily spotted in any weight room. They are often below the average weight for their height and have a skinny appearance. Ectomorphs tend to have very high metabolisms and often complain of relentless eating with little to no weight gain. Some general characteristics are:
Small joints
Skinny appearance
Hyperactive
Fast metabolism
Can eat whatever they want
Get full easily
Small chest and buttocks
Difficulty building muscle
Difficulty gaining weight
Low body fat
Narrow frame
THE ENDOMORPH BODY TYPE
The endomorphic body type is the complete opposite of an ectomorph. This individual will usually be larger in appearance with heavier fat accumulation and little muscle definition. They find it hard to drop the weight even though they try several diets or workout programs. Common characteristics:
Large amount of fat accumulation
Often fatigue easily
Insatiable appetite
Try various diet and exercise programs to failure
Cannot seem to drop weight
Eat larger meals or several smaller sized meals
Low muscle definition due to adipose tissue
Larger frame
THE MESOMORPH BODY TYPE
Everyone recognizes the mesomorph. He is the high school jock that seemed to put on muscle just by looking at weights while also maintaining a very lean physique. The mesomorph is somewhat in between the ectomorph and the endomorph and as such, display qualities from both. He has a larger frame (bone structure) as the endomorph does, but a low body fat percentage as the ectomorph has. You could say this is the aspiring body type that everybody wants. Notable characteristics:
Symmetrical build
Wide shoulders
Small waist
Low body fat
Large musculature
Seems to put on muscle easily
Seems to burn fat easily
If you are one of the many who is looking to make a transformation from one body type to another, it will be a tough journey – But entirely possible!
(within genetic limitations). Adjust your diet and training accordingly, and stick with it!
