in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
Ectomorph/endomorph/mesomorph?
Perhaps this isn't the right message board but...
I've been interested to know this for a while and haven't really got a conclusive answer on this. Just interested for the sake of it, any help appreciated.
I am 5 foot 9 inches and weigh 62 kg (137 lb) and have been working out for the past month or so.

    Somotypes are an outdated theory and widely discredited. They were never based on any solid scientific research. So I wouldn't really worry about it.

    hard to tell, if you gauge yourself, put yourself up in a slight calorie surplus ( 150 - 200 calories ) and watch how your weight fluctuates, if you gain muscle too fast then you are an endomorph, if you find it hard to gain weight then you could be an ectomorph, honestly it doesnt matter, it all depends on how you "strategically" adjust your calorie intake and exercise to reach your goal.

    Xenomorph, your stomach looks a bit odd, make sure to get your friends a lot of weapons, some surgeons and an enclosed room before you start to feel sick and have a "bursting" feeling...










    Because its friday for fun responses ya know...serious response is similar to 3dogs's one...body "types" are not really based on how you look according to that old classification system.

    Naw I wasn't saying you are fat, you are actually pretty low bodyfat by appearance. I would work on weightlifting for strength increase, not weight loss in your shoes. You have a bit of an atypical upper abdominal muscular ridge in your picture, looks like maybe you are flexing and distending your abdomen compared to your side picture? That's what I was commenting on. It better not be an Alien, were all in big trouble then ;) :P
