Is this real or just cope?Is this more complex or is it just bullshit?
pure bullshit
>>76767514It's bs, just lift heavy, overload, and eat clean
>>76767514It's astrology for body types.
Leptin sensitivity scale
>>76767514Lanket, manlet, fatass
It's real but not for the reasons people think it is.Obviously everybody is special etc but body types can generally be categorized as either fat, thin, or something inbetween. Emphasis on generally because there is an exception to every rule.This same logic can be applied to many facets, IE extrovert, introvert, ambivert, hot, cold, lukewarm, rich, poor, middle classAnyways mesomorph chads check in.
>>76767514It's a categorization of traits that aren't categorical. Similarly with skinny, normal, and fat.
>>76767514Pure concentrated bullshit.
>>76767514>nordic/aryan (alien)>anglo (cro-magnon)>irish (neanderthal)
Where are the 6'8"+ natty mesomorphs?
>>76767514It's hard cope. Yes, some people carry fat and muscle in different ways and it will change your appearance. Same as your bone structure. No, it does not determine anything meaningful
>>76767514Its both. And it doesnt matter. Everyone needs to train as heavy and hard and frequent as they can, balncing traing with recovery and diet. What this exactly looks like is different for every person alive. So, even if you think you fall perfectly into the ectomproph/endomorph/mesomorph profile, you still need to find a program that challenges you to get stronger and a recovery program (sleep and diet) that allows you to recover and grow fro the traing without getting fat as fuck.Its the exact same process for everyone. The results will look a little differenct, just like everyones nose looks a little different. Thats okay.Thats why it doesnt matter.
>>76767514it's very real, you're not locked into a certain body type but each body definitely has a preferential body fat %.
>>76767514It's true. For example I'm ectomorph and in order to achieve any meaningful gym result I need a massive hyper-caloric diet. Keep in mind that originally this categoration was also describing your psychological traits...and yeah that's bullshit.
>>76767514im an mesomorph chad but my girlfriend is an endomorph fatty how do i fix her to be a mesomorph stacy?
>>76769309>originally this categoration was also describing your psychological traits...and yeah that's bullshit.How do you know? I read the book and it was pretty interesting. Ectomoprh/ mesomorph was basically virgin/ chad
>>76770054>I read the bookWorth reading you reckon? Also, I see the author William Herbert Sheldon has a later book, 'The Varieties of Temperament' which expounds on his somatotype theory.
>>76770685For fitness, no not really. The psychology part is very interesting yes, very interesting.
>>76770941Nice, I will give it a read.
