I have an extomorph body if I dont eat alot
mesomorph when I eat food but it starts to break down
and the endomorph when Im bulking up and stuffed.
I definitely look like an ectomorph, which sucks. I'd much rather be a mesomorph.
The difference is fat content. That's all i see. Ectos look fatless. Meso has a tiny bit and endo is no leanness. I went into gnc for yohimbine and the faggot teen sales guy said "were mesomorphs so water pills might be good for losing weight"
I stared at him and just walked out.

Overall body width/breadth of ectos and endos is visibly different when comparing two types in their lean, fit forms >>37229765.
The problem is with people like you associating endomorph to fat.
My body looked like it was pulled from under the definition of ectomorph until my upper back finally started getting bigger.
It's bullshit. Anyone can put on more muscle or fat.

This meme is fucking with me more that the manlet one

No matter how strong I get, I still have this persistent look to my shape.

The ectomorphs look more like mesomorphs for me desu.
Holy shit what is up with all of these fucking retards on /fit/ today? It's all bullshit pseudoscience that was disproven a long time ago
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatotype_and_constitutional_psychology
>>37229799
then bulk, retard
its all just body fat
>>37230190
this
its from the same tier of ignorance as
>"you feelin the pump bro?"
>"no pain no gain!!!"
>"cardio is enough for legs"
its just a very basic way of lumping the large range of trainee's metabolisms, current body fat, current muscular development etc into 3 categories so they can be very briefly referred to in places where detailed knowledge isn't paramount eg a PE class, a PT with a new client etc

Can't. I work for several hours in 90 degree heat (though adjusted for the humidity, it's likely even worse in terms of heat index).
I think, right now, my body is just trying not to be damaged by heat exhaustion.
>>37230296
>Can't
oh i wonder what bullshit excuse I'm going to hear from anon today
>read the rest of your post
not impressed, lad

People like you have zero attention to detail. A guy with narrow shoulders will never look as wide as a guy with naturally broad shoulders. Suggesting that it's all just body fat is retarded - Edomorph != fat. Any body type can get fat, and there would still be differences.
>>37229857
Dude these were made in the 1940s and were used for psychology. Basically saying fatties are happy and skinny is nervous.
That is the "science" this is based off. Do you really want to be basing your assumptions of that stupidity?
>>37230366
See>>37230374
Also do we really need a big outdated nonsense word to say "wide shoulders vs tiny shoulders, big waist vs small waist?"
>>37229765
Did these guys forget to do any kind of leg exercise?
>>37230547
that's a normal upperbody:lowerbody ratio you fucking nerd
i know you're used to seeing a T-Rex in the mirror but most people don't squat 3x a week

>>37230344
Disregarding that non-sense, you can't deny there's some truth to the physiological aspect of Sheldon's study. To suggest that it's only fat that defines the body type of a person is ludicrous and the actual non-sense here.
tfw endomorph
guess I'll be a bear
>>37230366
I did try make the shoulders and traps bigger trick. I just look like a buffer ectomorph.
I even worked out my legs heavily. I look like a proportional ectomorph.

Alright, so let's get this all clear. There ARE NOT three broad categorical body types based on fat distribution; honestly, it wouldn't make much sense if there was.
BUT people do have differing bone structure and muscle insertions. Everyone's body looks different, naturally, and some will have wider hips or broader shoulders than others, chests that have or do not have a gap, a propensity to gain love handles or to have a sagging chest if unfit, and through the multitude of these small differences, we can get men and women that are similarly strong and of similar height and weight and even bodyfat, but different builds.
Unfortunately, this isn't a very useful answer. It basically says that we just don't have enough information on body types. Attempting to define yourself with a word or two is not within our capacity yet from a perspective that is actually factual, so we just revert to sucking our own dicks about this dipshit color wheel "build" nonsense that's been around since the greeks were fucking each other up the ass.
I mean, we're done with assigning people personalities based on how much bile or blood they have in them. The least we can do is stop being fucking retarded.
Is that about it?

Otter mode, athletic mode, bear mode
These -morphs are just scientific memes
>>37229748
>is there any truth to FRAME
it's up there with FACE and HEIGHT
>I-I'm not fat; I'm just an en-endomorph
I fucking hate you assholes
>>37230880
Pretty sure I'm small-boned then.
>>37230739
>FACE/FRAME/HEIGHT is a meme they said
>you're gonna make it they said
>>37230953
Are you the motherfucker who keeps saying that they are an ectomorph?
I will explain it anyway; big boned and small boned are also made up terms. There are actual medical conditions that have to do with human growth hormone production. These influence bone size. You probably don't have them.
If you measured your proportions or posted pictures, we could judge you more accurately, but I'm assuming you have body dysmorphia.
tfw ecto hardgainer, i just wanna be big guys i eat soooo much every day xDDDDD
>>37229765
>left guy
shoulders rounded forwards. He looks less swole because he probably has shit form on chest exercises.
>middle guy
good shoulder posture. You can see his chest better so he looks wider
>black guy
BBC genetics
prove me wrong fags bodytipes don't exist

Or just insufficient protein consumption. I got tired of the taste of protein powder, but I really do need to go back to the stuff (I don't eat any meat. Not a vegan, just don't like the taste of meat).
>>37229748
Endomorph master race reporting in. I have no problem putting on mass and when it comes to a cut I just have to be really good

Andre Ziehe's frame is tiny. He's a textbook ecto.
