The Three Main Bodytypes

Body Types

Not everyone is born equal, and mostly people fall within 3 different body types.

Ectomorphs

This is typically what is known as the “Hard-Gainer”. Naturally skinny, the ectomorph

requires more calories as their  metabolic rate is much faster than others.

This can be accounted for simply by eating more.

Traits of an Ectomorph:

• Small “delicate” frame and bone structure
• Flat chest
• Narrow shoulders
• Long and thin muscles/limbs
• Low fat storage

Mesomorphs

Mesomorphs generally have a great metabolism and put muscle on easily. These are the lucky ones. Mesomorphs need a diet very similar to an ectomorph.They are naturally strong which is the perfect platform for building muscle.

Traits of an Mesomorph:

• Athletic
• Well defined muscles
• Rectangular shaped body
• Broad/square shoulders
• Medium/Large frame and bone structure
• Excellent Posture

Endomorphs

Endomorphs generally have a slow  metabolic rate, and a high affinity to retaining

fat. When building a diet, you should lower the ratio of the fat, and generally

eat less overall calories in order to stay aesthetic

Traits of an Endomorph

• Smooth, round body
• Medium/large joints/bones
• Short Limbs
• Very high levels of body fat
• Haveto work hard to lose weight
• Pear-shaped phisique
