Am I a Ectomorph or Mesomorph?

[ChinesePerson]

The first 3 pics are before I started working out (125-130 pounds)

The last 3 pics is from more recent and at about 11-12 months of working out. (154-158 pounds)


I have alot of Ectomorph traits like small bones, small joints, small wrist, naturally low body fat but Mesomorph traits like narrow waist, broad ass shoulders and visible lean muscle even before I started working out. And I could already do weighted pushups from the get go.

Those terms (endo, ecto, meso etc) are meaningless labels - they will not tell you how to train or eat.

Everyone has some fat to lose and some muscle to gain. Everyone can use the same methods to do this.

Count calories and grams of protein, do a well known routine like Fierce 5.

My friend, I have been working out for close to 12 months now and gained about 15-20 pounds of muscle. Mad stretch marks by the armpits , etc. Peep da pics

anyway I just took this test : bodybuilding . com/fun/becker3.htm

and my results were :

ENDOMORPH: 13%
MESOMORPH: 63%
ECTOMORPH: 25%

honestly sounds about right

While we are on this topic, does anybody else have small bones and wide broad shoulders? post pics plz

Unforunately, many of the articles on the main site are for "entertainment only". The concept of ****totypes has generally been discredited by the scientific community.

And like I said, even if they were real, they don't tell you how to train or eat that's any different to how everyone else is doing it.

I think you're between ectomorph and mesomorph.

Dont think of yourself like that. Think of yourself like a blob...or the Pokemon ditto. Depending on what you put into your body, how you move around, or what stimuli you expose yourself to will change your form.

You should be happy, I have the opposite thicker bones and more narrow shoulders.
Yours is definately better in terms of how much muscle you can put on your frame / aesthetic physique =)

****totypes are a debunked psychological theory designed to predict behavior, and has nothing to do with how one should eat or train. It's nonsense.

Endomorph is just a term so that fat peole can blame their fatness on something else but them

eh i think there are positives and negatives to my body structure. because of small bones, if i keep my body relaxed i look kinda lean and not that muscular but if i flex alittle then i look jacked. if i didnt have the wide shoulders i would be completely ****ed. I mean I have not worked out for a full year yet, almost a year though. Maybe by the 2nd or 3rd year I will have filled out and I should look thicker even when my body isn't flexed and is relaxed.
