People like to categorize their body types to the above 3 then seem to make a diet/workout plan. ..
Does this really make any difference?
At my biggest I looked endo, at my lightest I looked ecto....

Thanks for the replies everyone. This is exactly what I'm looking for.

Finally getting a gym buddy and he has lost about 120 pounds. Problem is he's skinny fat and I've shared with him my very limited info on bodybuilding such as strength training, hypertrophy, counting...

Lol sorry brah
Lean bulk. .. dat betta 4 u?

Clean bulk (no more than 500 over maintenance) and lift heavy, focus on strength to build a good foundation. Lots of good lifting workouts in the stickies for beginners.
Results will come, just be...

There's your problem. You've probably done this for so long you've hit a plateau. Also you're skinny fat. Clean bulk before it looks like you've come out of Auschwitz.

Recently hitting the gym again, after the inevitable DOMs after the first week of getting back to lifting again, I'm noticing I'm not sweating while lifting.
I'm still picking a weight where I'm...

Isolate to hit protein macros. BCAAs in water to make drinking a gallon a day easier.


If I did "believe" in supplements my 5 would be

Creatine
Multi
Yohimbe
L-Glutamine
Vitargo

You're overreacting. Cheat meals are fine once in a while. If anything you'll get your leptin levels back up

Vast majority of supplements are marketing ploys. Eat, lift, rest, repeat.

You leaned out good! IMO u should've bulked from the get go but to each their own

Oath man. Girlfriend telling me her friends are telling her I'm getting fat. Can't fit in my old clothes Lol. Who cares. They're not the ones seeing u put the extra plates you're putting on the bar...

BBQ duck and blue cheese pizza, 5 ribs in spicy sauce and 1.25L coke.
Consumed once a month, roughly 2200 calories, about 2700 with a cheesy garlic bread chucked in too.
Every other weekend is...

Man you're only 16. Hormones be going crazeh. Eat like a beast and lift like one

Wouldn't recommend keto for long periods of time. Some people take on a keto diet when trying to get sub 10% bf levels but they incorporate a carb refeed day once a week, sometimes twice a week to...

They think lifting automatically = bulky meathead so they do hours of cardio and HIIT to "help build lean muscle and burn fat and tone your love handles" so they don't lose their slim figure with...

IMO drop Insanity, do whatever choice of cardio for roughly 30 mins a day at whatever intensity u desire and get your ass in the gym and lift heavy as fuark

Bodyfat calipers and scales that measure it are innacurate. Closest you'll get is with Bodpod or DEXA Scan. Did u take before and after photos? They'll be the better yielding stats in the end.

Excellent thread.
Don't forget guys if, like me, you like water while working out but not while you're not working out or not thirsty, you can always add BCAAs to your drink. I'd suggest not...

Fuark never say tone.
He means when you're body fat drops low, you wont have much muscle to show. You'll look like a starving Cambodian boy
