What Body Type are You?...

Have you ever really thought of a reason why you were so different from the always fit looking people that may walk by you beside you. They may be ugly and scrawny but you are handsome yet husky. Some of those people may have been Ectomorphs and you were an Endomorph. And the girls always love the Mesomorphs; they were born with muscle or cursed with a natural ideal body type.
Either body does not matter, they all come with pros and cons. At least eternally.

I am a bonafide (literally, bone verified) as an Endomorph. This means: fat loves, carbs hate me, and too much exercise will be the death of me or just cause injury. So this means that eating less carbs is a must for weight loss but also frequently low impact activity will strengthen me. In short, my body type is likely to be husky but muscular, thick boned, and  shorter limps. Read the information BELOW, for more info.

Endomorph

The endomorph body type is solid and generally soft. Endomorphs gain fat very easily. Endo’s are usually of a shorter build with thick arms and legs. Muscles are strong, especially the upper legs. Endomorphs find they are naturally strong in leg exercises like the squat.

Typical traits of an Endomorph:

  • Soft and round body
  • Gains muscle and fat very easily
  • Is generally short
  • "Stocky" build
  • Round physique
  • Finds it hard to lose fat
  • Slow metabolism
  • Muscles not so well defined
When it comes to training endomorphs find it very easy to gain weight. Unfortunately, a large portion of this weight is fat not muscle. To keep fat gain to a minimum, endomorphs must always train cardio as well as weights. Usually supplements may not be needed as long as the person has a high protein intake in their diet.

A Combination of Body Types

These body types aren’t set in stone. In fact, most guys have a combination of two body types. These combinations are either ectomorph/mesomorph or mesomorph/endomorph. It is not uncommon to find a pure mesomorph that gains weight like an endomorph for example.


Thick Boy 2 Fit Boy is a chronicle of a HWP ( height weight proportionate) black male doing his best to stay focused and goal oriented to be FIT, not thin / not skinny; but wholeheartedly conscious of his health and time by working out to improve body performance and rid the body of excess fat.
