Enter your measurements to discover your body type
The somatotype system classifies body types into three categories: Ectomorph (lean and long), Mesomorph (muscular and athletic), and Endomorph (wider and softer). Most people are a combination of types.
| Type | Build | Metabolism |
|---|---|---|
| Ectomorph | Lean, long limbs, narrow | Fast - hard to gain weight |
| Mesomorph | Athletic, broad shoulders | Moderate - gains muscle easily |
| Endomorph | Wider, stores fat easily | Slow - gains weight easily |
You can't change your genetic predisposition, but you can significantly alter your body composition through training and nutrition. An endomorph can become lean, and an ectomorph can build significant muscle - it just requires the right approach.
Body typing provides general guidelines but isn't an exact science. Most people are a mix of types. Use these results as a starting point for your training and nutrition, then adjust based on how your body responds.
