Posted at December 31, 1969, 6:00 pm: Mesendomorph Characteristics -Perhaps the naturally strongest body type, these individuals range from the short and stocky to big and tall…generally speaking these individuals hold a higher amount of body fat naturally but when clothed don’t really look fat, even untrained, they still have naturally broad shoulders, and hold more body fat evenly throughout the body rather the gut area -Excellent muscle building genetics -Gains fat fairly easily but can lose a fair amount of fat easily as well -Generally mesendomorphs are Olympic lifters, some power-lifters and strong men -Square or slightly rounded face, still has a predominate jaw -Slower natural metabolism -Metabolism is effected little by lean mass gain -Have much narrower hips then endo’s (often the difference between the two) -Thick bone structure -Rigid diet is needed to get lean, extreme diet is needed to remain ultra lean Training Tips -Mesendomorphs have little to no trouble gaining mass so workouts can be custom built to focus on weaker areas -Diet is important for these individuals to stay lean, as they tend to quickly accumulate body fat but they tend to hold extra fat well -Cardio should be used w/bulking, to minimize fat gain -Cardio should be used while cutting -Extreme diets fail to work as well on these individuals as the body likes to slow its metabolism if starving; eating small frequent meals is needed to achieve low body fat level Natural Enemies -Perhaps the only rival to the Mesomorph in terms of strength gain and size gain Mesendomorphs, tend to become stronger quicker then Meso’s due to there extra bodyweight helping stabilize major lifts, with rigorous diet and training Mesendomorphs can basically become temporary Mesomorphs Examples -Male -Defensive Linemen Endo-Meso Characteristics -Holds more body fat then a Mesendomorph esp. around the belly -Round Face -Wide hips -Looks heavy and out of shape clothed -Gains lean mass easily -Gains body fat easily -Resistant to loosing both body fat and lean mass -Extremely lipostatic -These individuals are basically a rounder version of the Mesendomorph; often they are power lifters but generally are not as naturally strong as Mesendomorphs, esp. in explosive strength but often rival them in power lifts such as deads and squats -Tend to be shorter, have shorter limbs, which gives excellent mechanical advantage for powerlifts Training Tips -In terms of gaining strength simply lifting heavy and hard -For lean mass gain a variety of rep ranges work well, generally Endo-meso’s have no real trouble gaining mass -For getting lean much cardio is needed along with a very rigid diet, staying lean is the greatest challenge for this body type as strength comes naturally -Tend to naturally flock to deadlifts and squat since they excel at both lifts -Eating very small meals frequently, tend to need to cycle or go l low carb to really make noticeable results in bodyfat Natural Enemies -Ecto-Meso’s often hate the common cocky attitude of Endo-Meso’s as they pile plates onto the deadlifts platform and hoot and holler for ultra heavy low rep sets, commonly insulted with the line “yeah well you may be strong but your still fat”, ironically the Endo-Meso’s hate the Ecto-meso’s cocky attitude as they admire themselves in the mirror and often do curls in the power cages, commonly insulted with the line “yeah you may be ripped but your skinny and I’ll break you over my back” Examples -Male -Most powerlifters True Endomorph Characteristics -The genetic shaft body type -These individuals imbue both the “skinny-fat” and “fat-fat” bodies -Horrible muscle building genetics often on par with Ectomorphs -Retains and gains bodyfat like a Meso gains lean mass -These individuals often eat a snickers bar and gain 5 pounds of water weight -Round face -Narrow shoulders -Wide hips -Slow Metabolism and/or overdeveloped digestive track Training Tips -Flawless diet is needed for both bulking and cutting -Cardio burns both lean mass and bodyfat -Small frequent meals -Similar weight training to ectomorphs -Generally a bulking session leads to fat gain so a cutting session is needed which keeps progress slower then most other body types Natural Enemies -None, unless the world goes into starvation, then this will be the sought after body type Original of the message was taken from http://forum.bodybuilding.com/ Previous Post: The major body types are: True Ecto Ecto-Meso Meso-Ecto True Meso ...
