the ecto part is nothing to envy, trust me. I'm about 60/40 ecto/meso, and it took me a long time to figure out that the meso-freak workouts described in the bodybuilding mags will only waste an ecto to nothing. (not to mention that those are all juice routines except they leave out that minor detailrnch said:
)That ephipheny only took about 5 years lol.

Pure endomorph
I gain strength pretty easy when I go on a decent strength program,but I gain fat quite easily.Have the very wide hips that are a trademark of the endomorph.Been very heavy for most of my teenage years(got to around 270lb 30+%bf at 6'4) now I have shed most of the weight.The article was spot on in regards to the cardio,for endo's it is a requirement in addition to a good diet for getting reasonably lean.Timing most of my carbs around my workout sessions seems to help immensly too.

you also forgot to mention the nervous system, and its speed of transmission and effeciency etc
pretty much genetically given, and can have a big effect on how strong and explosive someone is. And so their ability to get bigger and stronger is influenced from that to
Sprinters tend to be ectomorphs who stay naturally lean, who have fast and explosive CNS, with lots of fast twitch fibers and have lots of anabolic receptor sites where it counts. They don't look big but can blow up over night when they want to, especially with the nice receptor site advantage that can magnify the effects of drug use
so just saying wether someone is an ectomorph, meso or endo doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. Too simplified
