What's my body type: ectomorph or mesomorph?

[doughnutgut]

I heard mesomorphs can get bulky and muscular very easily with fewer visits to the gym since they are blessed with good genes.

Endo, messo, ecto, Like it really matters at your position at present.

Unless you put the effort in your gonna always be sitting in bestbuy genes and not levi or evisu....

Thank you all for the helpful advice. This ecto, endo and meso stuff was something I read about in my research. Just goes to show that there's a lot of nonsense advice out there on bodybuilding. And that's why I'm so dumb on the subject and why my questions sound very stupid, so I sincerely apologize for the trouble I caused. I did not mean. Again, thanks for the help and I'll be sure read up more on this site later today.

Actually, it's not. My neighbor is nothing but skin and bones; definitely ectomorph. When he told me he works out, I didn't believe him. But then he showed me his 6 pack abs, his weight lifting ability and can do a lot pushups and pullups. Yup, he definitely works out, but his body is still thin like a stick. It doesn't look like he's ever going to get bulky.

a 6 pack on a stick figure is like d cups on a fat chick...they don't count.

The day everyone accepts ****totypes are bollocks and they work their asses in gym instead those people will be much happier.
Nothing personal, just in general; ****totypes have been obsolete for some time and it's just useless stuff these days. Better get the Starting Strength book or a similar one and apply what you learn if you want to improve your 'body type'

you are a new somotype - skinny fat

Wow. First time I was ever called fat. Everyone around me always criticize me and say that I look too skinny and undernourished. I guess I was fooled all this time. I'm probably going to start doing a lot of cardio and serious dieting in addition to lifting weights.

Trying to do all things at once will lead you to nothing but failure and confusion. Lift, eat well, and be patient. This isn't rocket science. You'll figure yourself out in time.

All the advice in the world can't teach the most important factors when it comes to fitness:


honesty, dedication, and determination


Read every book, watch every video, ask every sage person for advice, and none of it matters without those things.

****totypes aren't nonsense but either way you need to do the same things train hard eat a healthy diet

You'd think the same thing about me. But i work out regularly, eat well, and am very defined. I'm also pretty strong for my age. And I definitely am an ectomorph--haven't gained weight all my life even with hard work.

Hi piperman.

I could put you in my old lifestyle and guarantee to make you bigger.... Honest..

Your body type is not that important because you are out of shape regardless of your body type. It will be your commitment to your training and nutrition that determines your progress.

Haven't seen you for a long time on this forum, Jerry (unless you've been posting in threads I've not opened). Good to see you here.

Ditto. Forums could use some jerry.

I would like to work out and build muscle, but I want to know how hard it's going to be for me.

Huh, it's going to be hard for you like it's hard for me and like its hard for every F'in person who ever picked up a weight. Dude it's hard
