BODYTYPES: endomorph, mesomorph, ectomorph.

[leancuisine]

The ectomorph: short upper body, long arms and legs, long narrow feet and hands, and very little fat storage. This body type has a narrow chest and narrow shoulders and long, thin muscles.


The mesomorph: large chest, long torso, solid muscle structure and very strong.


The endomorph: short musculature, round face, short neck , wide hips, and heavy fat storage.


No one is totally one type but a combination of all three types. Any body type can be developed with the correct training and nutrition however people with different body types will need to approach their training with different objectives, even though they may all have the same goals.

Ectomorph Training
The ectomorph's first objective is gaining weight and muscle mass.Strength and endurance will need to be developed and muscle mass develops very slowly. Stay with the basic exercises and include power moves that build maximum mass. Do an entire training workout, but take longer rest periods if you need to. Take in more calories than you are accustomed to and use weight-gaining and protein drinks to supplement your food intake. Try not to expend to many calories by keeping cardio to a minimum saving them for muscle building.

Mesomorph Training
The mesomorph will find it easy to build muscle mass but will have to include a variety of exercises in their program so that the muscles develop proportionately and shapely rather than bulky. A combination of heavy power moves and a variety of shaping exercises and a more varied for better quality, proportion and symmetry of the physique. Long workouts and short rest time. The mesomorphic type responds well to training so super-long sessions are not needed. A balanced diet with a good amount of protein and maintain an even calorie level all time.

Endomorph Training
The endomorph will not have much difficulty building muscle but will have to be concerned with losing fat weight and be careful not to gain the weight back. High-set, high-repetition training with short rest periods to burn off as much fat as possible. Additional aerobic exercise for calorie consumption. A low-calorie diet that contains the necessary nutritional balance with the minimum amount of protein, carbohydrates and fats. Make sure that you are getting the right amount of vitamins and mineral supplements the body needs.

thanks!

endomorph up in here

Mesomorph? I am short but that shouldnt effect it right?
Yup Mesomorph

POWER RANGERS MESO-MORPH!

Uhh sorry just had to

Finally, an emphasis on genetics. Obviously, all of the ecto's and endo's want to be more like meso's. The majority of the pros are meso's and can only get better with AAS. Ecto's need to constantly be doing size/strength cycles with enough AAS to make gains and then they will probably need to stay on all the time to keep the gains--depends on their blood testing. Fat gains are virtually nonexistent with this group. Endo's need to lose the fat first, while maintaining their currect muscle mass. Endo's need to keep an eye on their GH levels, their tendancy toward insulin resistent, and their tendancy to create new fat cells. We can supplement the Endo's with rHGH and a low carb diet to reduce fat. Interestingly, once the fat is lost, natural HGH levels tend to increase--but this needs to be monitored. Insulin resistence can be overcome with Glucophage and captopril will help prevent new fat cell synthesis. Endo's then can do size/strength cycles with ease. Ecto's always want to be ecto's--the genetics don't change. Same with Endo's. The meds are used to overcome the genetics. In the future, gene therapy will allow people to actually change their genetics..until then, we have to use what we have.

Sometimes I feel like an ecto\endo: slow muscle gains\fast fat gains.

build me a nice cycle out of 400.00 bucks doc! im all ears

I've always considered myself an endomorph, but I don't really fit that description at all.

You tell me, I have:

Long and skinny: face structure, arms, legs, hands/feet

Thick torso but narrow shoulders, and if I eat bad for a few days in a row, my belly goes from 6-pack to a keg in no time. I store 90% of my fat in my belly/chest...

Yes, I do put on muscle/fat fairly easily, qualities of a endo, but I don't match any other aspect of the endomorph. Am I even human?
