I learned that I have a "mesomorph" body type - never heard of this before. Therefore, for my body type I should supposedly increase cardio and decrease weights? Any mesomorphs, ectomorphs or endomorphs out there with thoughts / opinions ?

    How do you know what type you are? I have no idea anymore. I used to be very top heavy but had a breast reduction earlier this year & gained weight as well so instead of having an hourglass figure I'm now more like a cylinder. :ohwell:

    Mostly considered an obsolete theory now:

    See Somatotype and constitutional psychology.

    Your bone structure has no effect on your metabolism, reaction to stimuli (exercise) or anything else. Don't make your body type change the way you eat/train. It's simply your bone structure.

    Also most people misjudge their somato-type based on existing muscle mass/fat.

    Someone could look at an overweight ectomorph and think that they're endomorph, or a skinny mesomorph and think that they're an ectomorph or a built endomorph and think that that guy is a mesomorph.
