Most people are a combination of different somatotypes.

Ectomorph = tall, skinny (it's pretty obvious to tell if you are an ecto). Fast metabolism, making gains in weight hard.

Endomorph = pear shaped. Narrower shoulders, thick knee/ankle joints and heavy set legs. Slower metabolism, making them prone to fat gains.

Mesomorph = naturally muscular. A pure mesomorph will have good natural muscle size, a relatively fast metabolism yet they can gain/lose weight easier than others and relatively small joints.

Like i said though, you will most likely be a combo of different somatotypes.

I am a mix of meso/endo. The meso somatotype is more dominant though in me.

No.....you are endo/meso.

The endomorphic somatotype may be dominant, but judging from your pics, there is a bit of meso in you.

No clue.  I gain weight easier than most, but I also lose it in the same time frame, I also add muscle quickly which I'm sure contributes to some of the weight gain.

its all bullshit imo.

Everyone has his own "unique" bodytype, metabolism, muscle shape etc. If the "bodytypes" really existed, we would all be the same.

whats that for?

To entirely dismiss a classification system is insane. You're classified as either male or female; according to your logic that means all males and all females look the same...duh!

"bodytypes" are for people who blame being fat or skinny as being "endo" or "ecto".  ::)
