Ectomorph, mesomorph, or endomorph?

[Weeks]

Which are you?

ECTOMORPH

An ectomorph is a typical skinny guy. Ecto’s have a light build with small joints and lean muscle. Usually ectomorph’s have long thin limbs with stringy muscles. Shoulders tend to be thin with little width.

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.

ENDOMORPH

The endomorph body type is solid and generally soft. Endomorphs gain fat very easily. Endo’s are usually of a shorter build with thick arms and legs. Muscles are strong, especially the upper legs. Endomorphs find they are naturally strong in leg exercises like the squat.

I'm an Ectomorph, but I have wide shoulders.

True ectomorph. If not working out and supplementing proper nutrition with the workouts I do I bounce between 145/155 pounds. Back prior to my 2 shoulder surgeries while I was working out I was at my heaviest at 185. I'm 71 inches tall.

Without glancing at the article since I'm on my phone, most people fall under 2 categories.

Probably an Endomorph when it comes to the legs, as I have some ripped quads and calves while only being 5'7"(basically a MJD type body, but without insane upper body). My upper body is probably a mix, alright shoulders and arms but have some pecs. Some fat around the stomach area being 170lbs that i'm trying to lose as i've been lazy when it comes to eating over the years. I've just never done the right workouts for my upper body.

I'm definitely and endomorph. Gained all the weight I lost this time last year before getting married. I'm so damn lazy to hit the gym though. Getting pumped by watching chris krueger videos and listening to tony robbins, just gotta get my physique back.

Ectomorph myself. I can lose weight really easily, but it is very difficult for me to build muscle and gain good weight. At my best physical shape, I was 6'4 and right at 200 lbs. Now I'm somewhere between 190-195.

^Sounds exactly like me.

Couldn't we have just called this thread "Are you skinny, fat, or average?"?
