Endomorphs

[mikedte2u]

Its hard being an Endomorph. Losing weight is so not easy. Besides cardio and eating right - nutrition....What else must be done?

Heavy resistance training. Ultimately, nothing will replace diet + training. EC helps a bit, but it won't do sh*t if you're eating too much.

Look at the bright side, at least we won't have to force-feed ourselves while bulking.

And people say we tend to keep muscle mass easier when cutting

Diet has got be on on point! Let your muscle mass and heavy training (i.e. multi joint exercises) guide your fat loss.

eat less, move more, lift. repeat forever.

[AdamRingshall]

Thats pretty much it my man...

As long as your lifting heavy, being consistent and diligent with your cardio and spot on with your nutrition and diet then there isn't much else you can do my man.

Proper intelligent and healthy supplementation can help accelerate your results but nothing replaces the fundamentals that are essential to success in this game. Consistency is the key and the perseverance to continue on a structured path until you get where you wana be my man.

I hope this helps as I realise you're after more specifics but there's nothing anyone can tell you that will change any of the above!

totally true, unlike other body types, we can add more carbs when dieting, because we need less protein to hold on to muscle. our bodyies naturally hold on too everything, so we can relax a little while dieting. as long as we dont go over calories. Im a true endo, and have had the most success on cuts where i add lots of carbs, and protein. ive tried the low carb high fat approach, and i dont lose weight as fast as with high carbs....weird huh!

No offense brah, but you don't look like an endo at all. You look more meso than anything. Your body is not shaped remotely like an endo. AKA, your waist is too small and your shoulders too wide..on top of it, your bones look to be a lot smaller than an endo, such as myself.

I'd love to have a 4,000 calorie metabolism. I usually don't want to stop eating until I feel sick (TERRIBLE habit). I'd eat decent for the first 2,000 and get my protein in, then hit the smashburger to get my extra calories. I think I may be a combination of ecto and endo. I have the endo metabolism and I would say more ecto bone structure since my waist has potential to be fairly small and my wrists are on the dainty side, lol.

[mikedte2u]

For working out though, should Endo's do high intense training or low? I hear one thing and another, kinda confusing. Life heavy, or lift small with many reps?

Yea im a lil sick of this wide hip bull****

[jay24k]

What you said is pretty much it. I've found what worked for me is really hammering the cardio. I'm cutting again and I do it at 530am and 4pm. I also do the gym 3 days a week at noon.

I will say bulking for the first time really added mass for me quickly. The worst part is the last fat to go is my lower stomach and love handles.

Nailed it right there.

[manuncia]

Patients and will power.

If you're diet is on point and exercise on the agenda, why stress?

[Snowman24]

am i an endo would you say??

[Big_Carphuna]

You rang?

Perfect diet and heavy core lifting (isolation, too, but core/compounds are key). Do gain muscle fairly fast. Lots of diet manipulation to keep metabolism high...

[KingOfChaos]

It sure does make running feel ****ing weird, I can tell you that...also seems to make your ass flatter. I don't care how many squats I do, my ass just seems to get wider and I can't get the squat ass. I have to make due with a really strong flat ass.

i understand what your saying, but i promise i am, im just a little dieted down. at best im endo-meso.

[obesebeast]

uh, i have an ecto friend, and while I'm endo, I wouldn't want his body type at all. Sure he can eat like a garbage disposal and not gain weight, but he's weak as hell and can't gain mass.

I can gain and lose at ease, it's not "hard" to lose fat. Rather, losing body fat is much much easier than gaining lean tissue, especially for an endo. Just don't eat as much? Durr?

wtf. thats wierd as hell brah.

low carbing has to be better then high carbs...

i thought endos where carb sensitive?

[massakre]

I've been really curious to see what body type I actually am (I'm confused)!

There a few attached images in this thread of me: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=123720611

BTW I've been cutting with a mid-high carb diet with about ~160g protein and its been working okay but my weight loss has come to a screeching halt, even with cardio

[obesebeast]

if you're 5'11 and under 180 already, you're probably not an endo unless you've got no lean tissue, but often endos are just fat and strong. The strongest natural men in the world are endomorphs

I see, I'd like to think I got a decent amount of muscle mass, I'm actually sitting at like 180lbs right now as of this morning. Did you see the pics?

[obesebeast]

probably meso/endo

yeah, its kinda crazy. if your true endo, i know it goes against dieting standards, but try and take out some fat and add a little more carbs in. we might be the only body type to have the advantage of actually maintaing the most muscle on a cut, and possible gaining some? I though i was carb sensitive for years. i dieted low carb for years! under 15 per day. then i realized how stupid i was. you dont really lose fat just because of low carbs. you need to lower your caloires. i was lazy, i didnt want to count. now i do, and its like when i diet, i actually gain muscle, alomost as much as in the offseason. i stay around 100-200 carbs per day, and have a relax meal every 3 days or so. my diet is on point, with like 1500 calories a day give or take 200, and ive been gaining strength, and muscle mass. so in short i think endo's may have a great advantage when dieting, in that they have the unique ability to hold onto muscle while they drop bodyfat. dont get me wrong, its moderatly hard for us to lose bodyfat, its just that when we do, we wont lose as much muscle. my theory

[obesebeast]

something doesn't add up

425x12 squat
255x12 dead lift?

and 425x12 @ 170lbs, I'd love to see that video
