My youngest brother is ripped year round, good muscle definition, but not larger like the guys I have known. Just some nice round muscles and good definition. I still would not have minded those genes, versus being practically ecto/endo at the same time.

I'd say i'm a pretty solid mix of ecto and meso.



Your score is 2.00. Your body is closest to a Mesomorph. You have a naturally fit body but to maintain it or improve it you should exercise and diet correctly for your type. Strength training can be done more often and for longer sessions then would be good for an Ectomorph, but you must still be carefull not to overdo it. You should train with moderate to heavy weighs and at a moderate pace, not resting too long between sets. You will find you gain muscle quite easy (some women and even men might not want to get too bulky, but this won't happen suddenly. When you are happy with your muscle size simply train to maintain it). Stick to a good healthy diet to keep you lean and muscular, and watch for any slow creeping fat gains. Engage in and enjoy aerobic activities, sports, etc. but do not overdo.

thanks mudge I tested and got an

"Your score is 1.92.

Your body is closest to a Mesomorph"
hm, I never thought of me in that way, If I am of "good genes" it must be barely so....before I started working out I was always just "normal" but I did notice how after only a month oftraining I had my back straight and my chest sticking out and people noticed me, not I would jsut consider myself "normal" in the muscle gaining category, but of course I am never happy with myself anyway...lol

my body as it is now is more like mesmomorth since ive been working out but im guessing 2.25 means i was skinny as a kid which i was because i never used to eat my meals

I have no idea the validity of the test, but Google pulled it up. Males and females alike rarely accurately describe themselves. I have had people tell me I have wide shoulders, I think they are smoking crack. Perspective is a tough one with a test like that.

Where did your sig quote come from?

http://www.mikementzer.com/bodyfat.html

True mesomorphs are really, really rare. Of the guys I know I'm the closest in terms of my strength, but I'm too tall (6'0-6'1) and not heavy enough (222) to be in the same bracket as the true meso's I've met.

I doubt there's more than one or two members on this entire board that could be considered mesomorphs...

Everyone is some kind of mix, but like Duncan Donuts said, it is very rare to see one. When you see a guy that very obviously looks like he works out, religiously, but doesn't - thats a mesomorph. And again I'm talking bigger than Brad Pitt, with zero training. Like one article noted, those that I have known WERE naturally more aggressive people. 2 of the 4 that I have known were in trouble with the law on a regular basis, the other two were basically good guys but you didn't want to cross them.

If I had lower bodyfat but the same muscle and didn't lift at all, I would be a mesomorph. Those I have known though were always under 6 foot, maybe from early peaking testosterone levels, dont know.

Just a lesson for the all those who choose to post pictures. If you don't want to be critiqued, then dont post your pictures. Clearly, there are ignorant assholes like Efrin here who choose to think because I say one thing that I am automatically perfect. That is far from the case.

Please, Efrin. Do us all a favor and post some pictures of yourself, if you are going to call out people doing what was asked of them.

then i'm an ignorant asshole, too.

I'm not calling you out, cuz to be honest i couldn't care less. but i also think it was a dickmove the way you criticized the kid.

When someone posts a pic, they want CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. Not to be called skinny (he actually is well developed for a 15yr old) and ridiculous (for not training certain parts).

instead, why not assist him in what he needs to work on and learn, not the other way around and ridicule him for what he's not doing.



You're a funny guy, Sully, I like you. Dat's why I'm going to kill you lahst.

I said he looked fine, but didnt agree with his routine, and thought he needed to add on some weight. I don't believe I ridiculed him and if I did, that wasn't my intention. My intention was to assist him in putting on some weight thus putting on some serious size and strength.

He looks good. My only critique is the way he views training in terms of his routine, and him being a very skinny kid.

Your score is -3. Your body is closest to a Loser-Morph. Don't attempt to stay on a diet or lift, you will never be muscular and cut. Kill yourself now you waste of life!


That wasn't very nice.

Again, you can discard that picture. I don't know why I still have it up there. It was taken ten months ago. Yes, I was skinny, I have openly admitted that many times. Ten months later, I have added 30-35 pounds and dont look nearly as skinny as I did ten months ago.

hey children, chill out... this isnt a pissing contest... just say you didnt like the comment and it probably wont happen again(im actually not that old myself, just regarding they way you are acting). oh and mudge... this is probably a bad thread to continue this on but do you think there is a direct relationship between mesomorphs and XYY chromosome males?
