Since the two "smart" guys won't answer your question, I will.

Mesomorph is best at building muscle and burning fat like skip Lacour

Ectomorphs can build muscle but will get a shape like Frank Zane with proper dedication.

Endomorphs Great for building size and strength, but tend to stay "chubby" Sort of like Powerlifters or strong men.

I would say an ecto-meso. Ability to grow well and stay lean with the frame for good symetry.

okay, i can be one of the 'bad guys' on elitefitness, just for you fucking idiot newbies who want to impress everyone on the board with your ever-increasing post count...

frankly i don't give a shit...i try to help those with honest to god questions, not this fucking opinion/poll type question that will just serve to take up space. basically, i will answer questions that i want to answer and will flame those who should be flamed.

i'm just another typical asshole

so basically, you can still kiss my ass

The best body type is the type that goes to the gym, busts their ass and has a strict diet. Your physical body type means nothing without the former.

This whole starting body-type thing is BS. I was called an ectomorph with no genetic potential. Luckily I ignored that stuff, and now the same people (who look the same as they did 4 years ago) say I make better gains than them because I am a true mesomorph. In fact alot of the top pros were downright scrawny until they started lifting (Flex Wheeler and Kevin Levrone are two prime examples).

I honestly think that the whole "genetically gifted" thing was largely a ploy by the bodybuilding industry to avoid being straight about the pros steroid use. The mags told kids that they didn't look like the pros because the kids were "hard-gainers" while the pros were genetically gifted mesomorphs.

seriously, don't waste your time worrying about these endo-meso-ecto semantics. Just watch your diet and train hard. People will call you "genetically gifted" in no time.

Pharm, Why the fuck would some user of this board give a rats ass about space being taken up? Are you paying the fucking bills and buying the hard disks drives to store this shit on or what? Are you having to run the nightly backups and hate the extra time it takes to back up all the extra data? Please enlighten me on how space being taken up directly effects you in your day to day life?

If not, get a fucking life and stop flaming these guys for no reason. In my opinion, it is assholes like you that take up too much fucking space.

Your either a fat fuck,a skinny piece of shit or very muscular.But if this body type is real id sure like to find out what the hell i am just to know.I train hard but knowing would give me more confidence.Anyone help me on this.

figures an asshole from jersey, would come on yapping about defending himself and add nothing to the thread---good job flexxy!!!!

and OPENSESAME i guess your one of those tough guys on the computer, thats runs his mouth to what--make a name--ooohhhhhh!!!! see it makes no difference what you say really no-one knows you here yet, so to go running your at some one thats reconized here and been here for awhile isnt a smart way to make friends or a name for yourself--it just makes you look like an IGNORANT FUCK!!!

now i welcome all newbies!!!!! but lets not make an entrance by running your mouths..

as for the thread---i think for the most part you can really bust your ass and change all the non-sense that you fall into a particular category/////and it probaly did start as a cover-up for the pro's abuse....

If you don't like the question, don't click on the thread. And if you do at least answer the quesiton. The best body type depends on what results you want. Some people don't want to be that big they just want to be ripped and look like Iggy Pop. Of course you only have to do herion to do that, lol.

I'd have to say ecto-mesomorph like Schwarzenegger and Wheeler. It's also more attractive to the ladies. A diesel and cut 225 pound physique will get you a lot more pussy than a diesel 270 pound physique. No ofense to the big guys, I think your look is awesome, it's just not for me.

Endomorphs have a rounder, sometimes pear-shaped figure. They tend to accumulate body fat in larger quantities in the primary fat deposit sites for each sex: in males, the chest and abdomen; in females, the hips and thighs. However, not all endomorphs have high body-fat counts. An endomorph with average body fat usually has a large bone mass. Bone frame size for all endomorphs typically ranges from medium to large.

Ectomorphs tend to be tall and slender, and look thinner. Most have delayed or sustained growth periods during which large increases in height are seen in relatively small amounts of time. The long bones of their arms and legs seem to develop more than those of endomorphs and mesomorphs. Ectomorphs don't always have low body-fat counts. In fact, they have just as much potential to put on body fat as endomorphs, but because of their long, thin appearance their excess fat is not always obvious.


Mesomorphs are referred to as having an "athletic build." In general, their muscles are well developed, their shoulders are broad and their waistlines are narrow. Mesomorphs tend to, but not always, excel in sports and/or physical activity. Biomechanically, they have the ideal figure to exert maximal force.



While studies show that the mesomorph physique is the most sought after, the three body types are evenly distributed across the population. Why is body type important? Well, endomorphs produce more cholesterol and have more circulating triglycerides (fat in blood). Ectomorphs have, on average, a higher metabolism and decreased sensitivity to insulin. Mesomorphs (even females) have higher levels of testosterone and retain calcium better.

There is evidence that a person can change their type to a certain degree. Also, studies have shown that a person can be classified as a mix of two types, such as an endo-mesomorph. These findings are valuable both in research of the human body as well as research into evolutionary change.

Take the time to understand your body, its limits and its potential. Remember, the only shape you need to be in is "in shape" physically, mentally and emotionally.

hey,
Good post SLICKVIC, very informational, prime example of a good bro on the board, doing his reseach and sharing it with others. That's what this board should be about, not know it all's that think they're the shit becuse they have x amount of post. We've discussed this point before about POSTS vs. Knowledge and about judging our brothers. If you think a post is stupid, I'm sure innovative critizism is a figure of free speech, but it doesn't necessarily make you "the shit"....
