williampowerEveryone’s body is different; they look different, smell different, work different, move differently, etc. Your body type is a big factor in determining how easily you gain or lose fat and muscle. Some people are genetically predisposed to being large and muscular like a bodybuilder #ArnoldSchwarzenegger and others stay skinny no matter what they do #JessieEisenberg. The three categories of body types are Ectomorph, Mesomorph and Endomorph.
Ectomorphs
Ectomorphs are what we in the industry call “hard gainers”, in order to build muscle you have to work extremely hard and eat any and everthing. You usually have low body fat, small muscles and thinner skeletons. In order for you to gain weight with this body type you need a structured workout and eating plan that allows you to gain quality lean muscle mass without all the “excess baggage” so to speak.
Mesomorphs
You are the “genetically gifted” people who excel at things like bodybuilding and pack on quality muscle mass easily. You arent exactly “easy gainers” but you aren’t “hard gainers” either. You are most likely very athletic looking; you build muscle faster than ectomorphs and lose fat faster than endomorphs (as long as you exercise and diet properly). In order to take full advantage of your gifts you need to train in the proper modalities that challenge your body and force it to maximize its own potential.
Endomorphs
Endomorphs have the toughest time losing fat out of all body types; you are usually larger than most and soft in appearance. No matter what you do it seems impossible to lose fat on a permanent basis, if at all. Your body type however, is moldable with proper nutrition and a proper dedicated workout routine.
To sum up, genetics play a big role in how we look . You can’t control what genetics you receive nor can you change them now. However, just like genes can be manipulated through the science of biology, your body can be manipulated by the science behind exercise and nutrition #fact. All it takes is a little bit of know how and the right guidance. Where there’s a Will there’s a way (pun intended)…
