Become A Better Distinguish Body Types

The three main body types.

The human body can be of three types, well there are really lots of body types, but there three than generalize most of them. These are ectomorph, endomorph and mesomorph. Each of them are distinguished by very different caractheristics and here you'll learn to know and find out whick bosy type you have.

What does your body type say? 

Before starting and as I said before, there are not exactly three types of bosies and we're not completely bound to one category or the other. Your lifestyle, genetics, history, and training style all play a part in how you look, and doing the right things you can change that. 

Ectomorphs

Ectomorphs tends to have a lean build, long limbs, and small muscle bellies, also they usually are thin, and struggles to gain weight as either body fat or muscle. Even so this doesn't mean that you can't get strong if you're an ectomorph, but to gain weight you will have to: eat a lot of protein and carbs, regularly lift heavy with good form, and do a little to none aerobic activities. Just because you're thin doesn't mean you're healthy, so still take your diet and fitness seriously!

Some ectomorphs caractheristics:

• Narrow hips and clavicles.
• Small joints.
• Thin build.
• Stringy muscle bellies.
• Long limbs.

Endomorphs 

The endomorph tends to gain weight and then struggle to lose it. Their build is a little wider than an ectomorph or mesomorph, with a thick ribcage, wide hips, and shorter limbs. Also they have more muscle than other bosy types but it's not as visible because of the fat they easily gain.

This definitely doesn't mean that an endomorph can't be healthy. They can be every bit as strong, healthy, and capable as the other two groups, and may actually have some strength advantages due to their additional muscle mass.

Some help on how you should train: Get your heart pumping daily with some form of activity as that is  good thing for both health and calorie burn. Also you benefit from a fast training pace. If after doing this you still have much fat, take a look at what you eat.

Endomorphs caractheristics: 

• Blocky
• Thick rib cage
• Wide/thicker joints
• Hips as wide (or wider)
  than clavicles
• Shorter limbs

Mesomorphs

 If you're a mesomorph, you have a natural tendency to be fit and relatively muscular. This doesn't mean that you can eat whatever you want and still stay fit. It's true that you have things easier to get in shape than other body types, but an mesomorph body is not a healthy body. 

Advice on how to train: focus more on your fat gains than on your muscle gain. Training on a regular basis with modarate weights is more than enough.

• Wide clavicles
• Narrow waist
• Thinner joints
• Long and round muscle bellies

Thanks for reading my guide and I hope that I helped you find out which body type you ressemble the most!
