Training For Body Type

[jesse_01]

I was reading into abit. Since that my body type is Endomorph should I lift for that body type? Seems like everything a person reads it sends them in a different direction when it comes to lifting weights.

How are you training now and do you feel it is working? Are you a hardgainer(endo)?

i think as far as lifting you need to train for your body fiber type... which may vary from each bodypart... and then diet is what you would want to change depending on if you are ecto, endo or meso...

ectomorph is a hardgainer-

i agree with moya.
i think you should lift for your goal(strength, mass gain, ect)
and eat for your body type.

hi,buddies!
well, I have been doing bodybuiding since 19 years old, to 40 years old. Have kind of "stopped it all" for 6 or 7 years, and resume it again.. (oh, yes , have used some low doses of steroids in the past, they are "OTC" here , in Brazil, in the 80´s and 90´s..)
I guess I am kind of 90% Ectomorph/10% Mesomorph somatotype, because always carried out some "fat" over the "obliques" muscles (waist laterals).. but am relatively "well-defined".

well, let´s go "to the point":

My present "status"

50 years old
height 5 feet 4 inches (1, 78 mts)
weight 175 pounds (80 kgs)
wrists 6.8 inches (17 cm)
biceps 15.2 inches (38 cm)
waist 34.3 inches (86 cm)

so, do you "confirm" I´m an true Ectomorph somatotype?
what would you advise for me to gow up in muscle (and weight) withouy loose my "definition"?
what twould be the best supplements for an 50 years old well-experienced Ectomorph? (Creatine, whey , AZM...)
do you think little cycles of roids would benefit me?
Or should I best struggle to maintain and even elevates my present " endogeneous Testosterone" (my last quimioluminescence test showed a 335 ng/ dL Total Testosterone (and 10,65 ng/dL for "Free Testosterone")
(btw Estrogen (Estradi9ol, 17 Beta) was 20 pg/mL
and Tireoid T3 Total was 0,83 ng\mL
many tks JC
