I'm an Ecto-Mesomorph myself. I used to think of myself as a complete Ectomorph... until I started seriously working out and found that I'm anything but a hardgainer...
 
Classic ectomorph. I have a very small frame to build upon. However, my small joints and definition makes me look a lot bigger than I actually am.
 
Okay a circa 2001 poll with 17 total votes over nearly 4 years.

Possibly a close and lock candidate if we don't see huge action in the next day or so?

lol
and agree

BTW, I think this classification is BS

It should be:

Don't train hard/smart enough
Don't have a proper diet (enough cal/prot)
Eat like a pig
....

Anthrax, you can't be serious. Just wondering if you did agree with it where would you put yourself?

I'm def and ecto-messo.
 
endo-mesomorph

A great thing about my genetics is size and strength comes pretty easy while getting cut is a little harder, but if I even hit 10% I've got a moderate 6 pack showing with alot of definition every where. I really wouldn't want to get lower than 10%.

I was serious

Too many people blame their genetics while they should first check their training, diet, commitment and motivation

I'm sure some (very few) people may definitely be one category but for most saying "I'm an ectomorph" is just a lame excuse not to do what it needs to put some mass.

As for me Icould have said I was an ecto 15 years ago (due to some serious training and diet knowledge defficiencies), then an endo-meso and now rather an Ecto-Meso

and last but not least this classification is an easy way for supplements manufacturers to sell more of their crap. :)
 
was a skinny guy who gains muscle & fat quickly, cutting fat is more difficult. But I'm 8% right now so not to bad.
 
Ecto - Mesomorph

More Ecto than Meso. but if i train i grow very well. just lose it fast if i slow down. so its easy to get but easy to lose. hard to keep fat on me, which is a plus. and at 6'2" my muscle kinda doesnt show unless im in a singlet. long frame.
 
Definitely an ectomorph however I added 40lbs to my bench last year and hoping to do at least the same with bench and other lifts this year. :evil:
 
Is there a reason people keep bumping idiotic polls from 4 years ago?
 
I'm an ecto-meso. I weighed a full 124# (& 5'10") when I graduated high school and went off to the army. Once there, I gained 30# in about a month (they feed you real good and work you hard) and my legs were always in pain (try carrying around an extra 30 lbs on your next 12 mile road march along with a 50 lb ruck). I've always been a real hard gainer. I stayed around 155-160 for years until my first cycle (deca/test) 5 years ago. Now, I'm 188. Would love to see 200 some day.
 
Ectomorph. If I don't eat eat eat I'm 165-170 lbs at 6'. I've been up to 183 from hard work, and I plan to get back up there when college starts again and I have the time.
 
I was a skinny stick ectomorph. In my late teens and early 20's, I began to eat lots of simple carbs with protein and gained fat with the muscle as I grew to 165 at 6 feet. Laughable. Ignorant.

After many adventures in foreign lands and NA cities, my life settled down. I lived in LA for a while and soaked up info from mecca. Listen, listen, learn, learn, read, read, observe, observe and then DO .... refine .... DO. Repeat because things are continually changing.

Got in decent shape and have stayed there.
 
Ecto-meso. It took some time to put some on. Once I got to my late twenties I started getting stares from people.
 
I am probably a pure Mesomorph. I was always the most muscular guy when I was young, and I didn't even workout.

I have really been fit, always stayed fit and played alot of sports.
 
Pure Meso

I am a pure meso, with a thick skeleton structure and bulk.
I have only started training for about 3 years and weigh in at 115 KG(soon to be 116 KG!) at 6 foot in height.
I do not seem to have much of a problem with fat, I eat about 4500 + cal a day in my current bulking stage and my bodyfat has stayed around 11% without going up.

Even before I started training people have always commented on my triceps and quads, I used to lie and say I train but now I can say I train for real without BS.
 
I am most definately an ectomorph, its a pain in the arse to put muscle on, i am losing body fat steadily, but my weight isn't changing, which suggests that i am building muscle to replace the body fat i lose (5 pounds of body fat in last 3 months, therefore 5 pounds muscle gain).

p.s my BF is 16%, i want to get it to 7-8%
