It's a somatype (bodytype). It determines how your body is naturally. There are 3 types (mesomorph / ectomorph / endomorph) However most people are a combination (meso-ecto , endo-meso-meso, etc .....)
The best for bodybuilders would be either pure-meso or meso-ecto.
An ectomorph (endurance athlete) possesses a low body fat percentage level, small bone size, a high metabolism, and a small amount of muscle mass and muscle size.
A mesomorph (power athlete) possesses a low to medium body fat percentage level, medium to large bone size, a medium to high metabolism, and a large amount of muscle mass and muscle size.
An endomorph (nonathlete) possesses a high body fat percentage level, large bone size, a slow metabolism, and a small amount of muscle mass and muscle size.

this page gives a detailed explanation of the theory:

it's really just a generalization that is still used to day.

Is their a way to change what type you are (of meso, etc.)? I know bone sturcture cant change but can you speed up your metabolism with excercise and lower your body fat perminently. Or will every thing go back to normal if you stop excercising?
You CAN'T change ur bodytype, HOWEVER you can speed up ur metabolism and increase muscle mass, etc ..... BUT this is an effect of ur trainin / diet and will go back to normal if u dont keep up with it
It's just they determine how you are NATURALLY

If you eat well you can avoid excersize if thats what you want.
Some people have reported subcutaneous fat increase due to swimming in water that is cooler than the body, as a natural reaction.

Ahhhh......like blubber. hehe I never had THAT problem. I always have loved eating but I have cuz down and lost a good amount of weight lately. But.......the love handles remain alghough they have shrunk.
Yup, swimming alone can make you fatter due to the insulation needed to keep your body warm
It seemed to me that men swimmers get slimmer and more muscular but women bulk and get huge-ass shoulders. Thems the breaks. Except everyone on my team had a gut(even some of the girls YIKES!) cuz we sucked but most teams we went up agains thats how it went.
The swimming thing is true but shouldn't be a concern unless your compeating and need to look as riped as you can. The layer of fat is VERY thin on swimmers and most look ripped.
Well, most swimmers who compete do some sort of anaerobic/resistance exercise to aid their development.
Swimmers are mostly lean, most compared to sprinters, etc ..... they aren't quite as lean due to the cold water

He's hispanic, and he's outside all of the time (not right now though

Think about it people, if all you had to worry about all day every day was getting paid millions of dollars to get in good shape, we would all be in incredible condition as well. Unfortunately, there's this little thing called work that gets in the way.
As soon as someone hands me a million dollars and says "there's more where this came from if you can get your BF level down to 5%" I'll quit my job and diet and exercise all day every day. These people aren't real, they are manufactured.

I don't think the guy is 5% bodyfat, there are plenty of people that look like Brad Whatshisface year round, thats just the way it is. This is just how Flex Wheeler claimed to be, supposedly he could eat anything year round and be ripped, he was never a really large guy - and to get big he ate tons of calories, and claimed 500g protein intake which is more than many guys larger than himself.
Why is it so hard to believe, you've never seen anyone like this in your life?

just had to jump it really quick..500 grams of protein is not that much I take in 420-500 now.
There were plenty of pro's at the time that claimed on average of 350-400 which is why it seemed high at the time, especially since he was the smallest of them. Victor Richards on the other hand, hmm. He claimed 10k calorie per day intake in the off season, naturally speaking he is HUGE, all of his measurements (wrist, shoulders) eclipse anything I can imagine.

Greg Kovacs used to claim he took in 10,000 calories a day too. I think it is a sick amount of food...I have enough trouble taking in 4000 at regular intervals never mind more than double that. No wonder all those guys weigh over 300 lbs. You would literally be eating all day long.
Kovaks claimed 400 pounds in the offseason, 300-330 was his "competition weight", then again I never saw him compete in much, gee I guess it must have been the creatine testing that scared him off 
He is a drug free 26" you know

I cut down from close to 260 to 235 about 6 years ago and lost major LBM using 1.5 grams/lb. that's why this time I went up to 2 grams/lb and haven't lost any LBM.

He actually "competed" at the Night of Champions a couple of years ago. He got laughed off of the stage in the prelims and didn't even bother to come back. Haven't heard anything about him since then. Even Muscletech seems to have dropped him.
TCD...I didn't use 1/2 the supplementation then that I'm using now. No glutamine or BCAA's and my post workout nutrition was horrible then...
