Poll: Your body type?

[Abedeus]

Endo/Meso. I've always been about 5-10% overweight (5kg right now, give or take), but I have a good stature and I'm pretty strong - 20kg a hand is - quoting the Heavy - "babies!!".

But I'm currently on a diet, since I already have decent muscles on my arms and calves. Gotta lose some of my stomach and I'll be just fine.

Still, asthma/allergy/blood pressure pill combo eat a major part of my metabolism... Since I was 5 I was always taking 3-5 pills or inhalations a day. Crappy, but easier to live now.

And of course, there's the Endomorph: We endomorphs are naturally fat and find it difficult to lose that fat. Thankfully, there is a light at the end of this tunnel, a strict low fat, low calorie diet coupled with regular cardiovascular exercise and intense weight lifting can put you into great shape in a year or two. Nobody said it would be easy.

May I suggest the Zone Diet by Barry Sears? It's a diet, but it explains some substances that can make your body fat, etc, etc.
Do you know Manuel uribe? You know, the most fat person in the world? He started having this diet, and curiously enough it's working. He has lost about 400 lbs and he still want to lose some more. Check it out, if you want, and I recommend it.
OT: I think Ectomorph, but not very sure.

I've heard of it, but I'm going to try my own for a while, seeing as it's worked for me in the past.

Basically, I just eat less, eat healthy, and do my cardio.

I'd still suggest it though. My family has been in it for years.

I eat whatever I want and am a bit flabby, but still very thin. Does that make sense?

Yeah, it just means that your muscles aren't very defined. Working out might help that.

Mesomorph. I was fat for a few years due to inactivity, but lost 90 percent of it in a year eating semi fatty foods (think teenage diet), and getting a bit more social + basketball practice twice weekly. My shoulders are broader then the rest of my body, and I have nice natural muscle-mass and tone. I've always been unusually strong for my age, even during my 2-3 years of inactivity.

My morph + my intelligence makes me feel weirdly blessed

I'm fat, but back when I was weightlifting regularly, I could deadlift 575lbs, benchpress 300lbs, and squat 505lbs.
(Converted to kgs, squat was 229kg, benchpress was 136kg, deadlift 260.8kg.)

This seems to be a common misconception about these typing systems. Shoulders are generally the broadest part of all men, with few exceptions (as far as skeletal structure goes). The body types are done with respect to gender, height and age norms.

Sounds like Endo/Meso.

Those are some pretty ridiculous stats, by the way. Then again, I've never been much of a lifter, so I wouldn't know, but they sound ridiculous.

Yeah, I was ridiculously into powerlifting at the time. not so much for competition, but just because I loved pumping the massive iron. I need to get back into lifting and conditioning again though. If only I had more time off from my job.

I'm... Sorry? Seriously I don't know any more about these types than the OP has told me. And the OP states the broader shoulders are Meso, so uhm. Yeah, sorry bro.

 

[Dags90]

There's really nothing to be sorry about, the descriptions in the OP are pretty poor and the system itself isn't perfect. The typing system is supposed to be done based of off deviations from the average expected value. So "broad shoulders" is not part of mesomorphs, the correct wording would be "exceptionally broad shoulders for their age, height, sex, etc". If it were simply broad shoulders, pretty much all men would be some form of mesomorph, similarly almost all women would be some form of endomorph due to their naturally wider hips.

A good example of mesomorphic women would be the Deschanel sisters, particularly Emily.

Endo/Meso.
Low metabolism and a bit husky, but It's not incredibly difficult to lose weight for me.
