What are body types?
Body types are ways that the body is structured in terms of bone density, muscle mass and even hormone regulation. You need to understand how all body types work by understanding as when you figure out how to figure your body type you can understand how to diet and train for your individual body type.
Primarily There are three types of bodies.
Ectomorph, Mesomorph and Endomorph,
Ectomorph
An ectomorph body type in simple language is a skinny guy or girl. He/she will have a small bone structure with small joints and lean muscle. Ectomorphs are usually characterized by small shoulders and long structures and a fast metabolism meaning no matter what you eat, you will hardly gain weight. This makes gaining muscle a tedious chore, although ectomorphs can easily cut down fat and get shredded quite easily.
Mesomorph
Mesomorph body types are in the middle and have a medium size bone structure along with large lean muscle with a generally active body and no surprises are the best when it comes to weight training.
Endomorph
An endomorph body type is on the other end of the spectrum as they have thick bone structures and are generally soft and round. Endomorphs are mostly insulin dependent which means that they gain fat and muscle easily but more fat than muscle. Endomorphs are usually short and have thick arms and legs meaning they are naturally more efficient at leg exercises like the squat.
