Endomorph’s are not necessarily muscular. There are a lot of Endomorphic Ectomorphs and Ectomorphic Endomorphs who are very low in Mesomorphy.

Examples: Leonardo Dicaprio Endo 4.5/Meso 3/ Ecto 4.5

This type can actually be harmed by lifting heavy weights

Another example Robert Pattinson: Endo 5/ Meso 2.5/ Ecto 5

I pretty much agree with your workout approach for ectomorphs, but most ectomorphs are anxious to pack on weight and muscle. I understand building up strength, but I find the optimum muscle building to be between 6 and 12 reps. I especially agree with the rest periods. I would just like to add that workouts shouldn’t last more than an hour and only 3 times a week. If you are an ectomorph you have to realize that your body doesn’t handle the stress as well as the other body types.

Generally good advice, though I have to disagree with the part about eating anything you see for ectomorphs. If you are not working out, I don’t think you should be drinking protein shakes, since it will be converted to fats. However, if your main goal is to bulk up, I think it’s alright, though it’s best to minimize it. my 2 cents

I seem to have characteristics of both meso and ecto. Can you be a combination of the three or is it one or the other? I am 6’5″ 230lbs and athletic, I have broad shoulders and large physical features 48″ chest 36″ waist. I also lose weight easily and can get skinny if I dont exercise. If I could compare my body type to someone I think I would say I resemble a prototypical shooting guard in basketball (Jordan, Kobe, etc) obviously not nearly as athletic.

Their skin will shrink in about 6-8 weeks so there should be no problem.

Once an Endomorph body type loose weight, what will happen with their excess skin? Will they just have to walk around with the weight of that skin and still look unattractive?

Sorry but I have no idea what you are describing. Either you can “gain muscle quick” or you can’t. It sounds like you are trying to gain mass, but first you say you can gain mass easy but then you say you can’t, so I don’t understand the question. You are probably a mesomorph but maybe you either don’t lift heavy enough or you don’t eat enough to gain muscle. I’d probably need to know way more about your body type, training, and lifestyle to maybe any other recommendations.

Im 16. I can gain muscle quick. Its mostly all lean. W/some bulk in my chest and tri`s. Im probably one of the bulkiest guys in my age group in my training class. But im also sknny and sometimes my body doesnt take in all it should. I can gain fat and mass, but still remain lean uder it w/no bulk. And my neck is kinda long. Am i like a freak combo of all the body types? Or am i unable to gain mass because im still growing?

Thanks for any help.
