i didn't eat lots of protein when i was ripped, i ate junk like taco hell, wendy's, burger king ect
my wrist is 6 inches at the biggest and thickest part of it, so would that qualify me as an ecto?
ectos AND mesos have advantages when it comes to staying lean whatever they eat. For example an ecto will burn/reject everything real quick without transforming any of it in fats, and a meso will tend to transform everything in muscles with low body fat production...while the endo whatever he does, eat, will transform everything into fats.
To be honnest, it aint really that hard to understand; look at your parents somatotypes, and realize your own somatotype is a mix of theirs most of the time, even if in some case offsprings somatotype is simply a copy of only of the parents somatotype.
examples:
endo+ecto = meso
or
endo + ecto = ecto
or endo + ecto = endo
etc.
My mother is an endo and my father a meso, i ended an extreme ecto, while my bigger brother ended a mix of meso and ecto.
It proves others factors are at work when you re being conceived by your mother, when she s pregnant of you; her level of stress during pregnancy, what she eats, the drugs she ingest or dont ingest, will aslo have an impact on your own body's programmation/building.
My mother was extremely anxious while pregnant with me as she was separating with my father, she had to take care of my biggger brother, work, and she smoke while being pregnant with me. As a result even if she is an endo and my father a meso, i somewhat ended being an extreme ecto. Obviously she was so stressed that it deeply modified, with the tobaco daily consuption that went into her placenta, the way my organism developed in the early stages.
My biger brother, born 4 years before me when she was still ok with our father, when he tried to work etc and not to cheat on her, ended being a meso/ecto. She was a lot less stressed while being pregnant with him.
