do u know any endomorph prop bodybuilders lik jay and ronnie if so post their names or pics plz
arnold
WTH i dont think arnold is an endo i think hes ecto (remember endo is the type with big waist, round face, high bodyfat
he's a cut endo/meso, same way the majority of pro's are.
i dont think there are any pure endos in mr olympia.. mesos have the ideal bodytype for bodybuilding, so it would make sense if the top .001% of lifters out there are mesos, or something with meso in it
hes not an endo, he started out puny when kids were picking on him
Arnold has an ecto's bone structure but put's muscle on easily.
how u tell if ur endo or ecto? lol
any sure-fire way?

It's pretty good I think.

So is this
Gunter?
a pure meso would prob be like franco columbo
Gunter isn't an endo. What are you smoking.
There aren't any endo pro BBers.
his huge ass waist does not make him dominantly ecto
lee priest? lol
these body type classifications are a joke, ppl just go by physical appearance... it has no merit.. u see a fat guy u normally assume hes an endo, or a skinny guy is an ecto, fat guys can go skinny and skinny guys can get fat.. bodytypes is just a pigeon hole rubbish term.
[QUOTE=Murmillot]Arnold has an ecto's bone structure but put's muscle on easily.[/QUOTE]
Its called an Ecto 2. They have a smaller frame but can put on mass as easy as Mesos. To me this is the Ideal physique none of those big wastes and less intramuscular fat. Altho they need to work heavy on the delts since they lag in that department.
Edit: I believe Greg Kovacs is as close to an Endomorph as you will get.
the quiz said im Meso, and according to the first link, im a mesendomorph...probably leaning more towards meso. crap i feel lucky
Ted Kennedy.
Typical endomorphs would be Dave Drapper, Steve Davies. What ever idiots seriously think Arnie was endo, well as I said, are idiots.
Arnie & believe it or not Lee Hanney, were ectomorphs. They had small bone structures, & higher metabolisms.
Mesomorphs would include, Mike Mentzer, Dorian Yates, Tom Platz, & so on.
But what ever bodytype they were, they have worked hard, & now in good shape. You could say neither are endo's now.
i think how well your muscles develop and what they look like when they do. Everybodies muscles looks so dramatically different, its pretty cool. How they attach.
these are bigger factors than samaotype imo
and i agree with the other guy, its a **** term
It silly to say that types are not important. You ****totype affects how you should be training and how quickly you can progress and ofter your genetic potential. With that said it isn't something that should be used as a crotch. But seriously it would be silly for an endo to eat like an ecto and vice versa.
I think it is possible that a majority of the professionals appear mesomorphic due to their diet and training. However, if they let their bodies work naturally, they would be much more endomorphic.
One endo that comes to mind is Nasser...I recall an interview with him, and he was asking about his protein consumption. He said he has never had to worry about protein, he can eat 100g a day and still put on mass. Go figure...
The quiz said i'm more like a meso, a bit odd considering i'm 6ft and 175lbs. I've always considered myself an ecto but i'm more an ecto-meso now i think. I guess the fact i was a fat baby might have altered the quiz outcome :)
[QUOTE=tweaked17]lee priest? lol[/QUOTE]
Maybe, I don't know, but Lee is my hero that's for sure :)
True BB of our time.
No top bodybuilders were pure endos, they wouldnt make it that far.
Endo mesos include Nasser and priest. Dorian is more of a pure meso slihtly leaning toward endo.

Priest has tiny joints man, that's common of ectos. There was a thread of pics of his legs a couple days out of the Ironman and his knees looked quite small.

Mostly because he is short overall.
The closest thing to pure mesos was prolly platz and dorian
The cloest thing to a pure endo was steve davis

That's the thing, the quiz is fun and it can give an idea of what you are but it isn't perfect. Every question has three answers. They are systematic and consistent. The pattern is that the first answer is endomorphic, the second mesomorphic, and the third ectomorphic. And each answer equals 3, 2, or 1 respectively. Then they average out you scores. So it isn't very accurate at all. Like an ectomorph with a guy would come up as a pure meso.

Nearly pure mesomorphs were Casey Viator and the Mentzer brothers.
