I bet you’ve already heard something about different body types, but do you know which one is yours? Why it’s so hard for you to drop weight, but the girl (or boy) next door keeps eating ice cream and stay’s so thin? That’s because you are endomorph, but she (he) ectomorph. But that’s not all – there is one more body type tht every man wants – mesomorph. The problem here is that we don’t choose our body type. And we cannot switch between them, or change them like a pair of shoes. Sad, isn’t it? In this article I will explain those 3 body types, and after reading it, I’m sure you will know which one is yours!
ECTOMORPH
Ectomorphs – small bones and muscle. These people find it hard to gain weight and muscle mass. Face – triangular with sharp features. Long fingers, toes and neck. Something like “pencil neck” or “nerd” in school, you would say. Yes, I agree, this is not the perfect body type for bodybuilding, but with hard work everything is possible. For this body type the main focus should be on training strength in order to gain weight and muscle mass. Did you know that Brad Pitt is ectomorph too? He really is. A lot of eating, right training program with three basic exercises (bench press, deadlifts and squats) and maybe some weight gainers can do the job. You will never face problems like hard-to-see abs because of that fat layer on your stomache. But you will have to work really hard to gain weight, be ready for that. The main thing is to stay focus and motivated.
MESOMORPH
Mesomorphs – have athletic body, large bones and it’s easy for them to build muscle mass. This is perfect body type for bodybuilder. And most of the world-famous Mr.Universe winners have it (Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone etc.). Face – cubical shape, features are clearly defined, like cheek bones and square jaw. With right training techniques the results are fantastic. Mesomorphs have to focus on training equaly every muscle group for symmetrical body. You don’t want huge arms an chest, but thin legs, because it looks very funny. For more better look – a lot of heavy lifting together with toning exercises.
ENDOMORPHS
Endomorphs – round body with short arms and legs. It gives this illusion, that muscle mass is concentrated in abdominal area. This body type can build muscle fast like mesomorphs, but losing weight and burning fat is very hard. So even if you have some muscle, most of them will be under this so hated fat layer. Cardio training with heavy lifting is the perfect combination for this body type.
But remember that most people are combination of these three body types. It’s hard to find a total endomorph or ectomorph. So it’s very hard to create workout routine and diet that can bring results equally for all. I would say – It’s impossible. So important to know your body – how it reacts on different weights, exercises and diets.
