...but at the same time too robust and "stocky" guys are not that attractive to me....something inbetween would be ideal, like this unknown actor ;D

I know, I do not take any steroids so I cannot pump up myself too extreme anyway.
I also do a bit of cardio, so I think I have finally found the right balance.

Ecto with endomorph tendencies, might appear meso, but is not. There is not much of a difference between endo and meso, but the ability to gain more quality muscle a bit faster in mesomorph and the propension to gain fat quicker in endomorph. I know very few natural mesomorphs, 1 or 2 probably.

Agreed. Many of the mesomorphs here are simply larger ectomorphs or not extreme ectomorphs. And I find it weird there are so few endomorphs here. My guess is that there are endomorphs here, but that they are actually mesomorphs.

Another example of 24 inch / 60 cm shoulder width:

Bodybuilder Scott Wilson, Height: 5' 10" (178 cm)


Poor guy, even with all that muscle mass his shoulder width still can't beat Zarathusta's, our resident Borreby..

The Internet is making my brain rot - insecurities, repetivity to insanity and inability to draw the simplest conclusions. I think I might like rl people more.

I believe that it can be changed with time: started as Ectomorph (teenager), Mesomoph in the middle of the life, and Endomorph later - if you will eat more that you needed and extensive drinking alcohol - you will have a fat body with a lot of estrogen in your bloodstream (I am talking about man).

Count me skeptical that <10% of the forum has endomorphic tendencies. Probably a lot of under-voting and true endomorphs not wanting to vote.

I would doubt anyone here is more ectomorphic than I am, and I say that with no pride whatsoever—I'm more gangly than is my wish. I have precious little body fat and don't gain muscle easily, although my modest musculature is fairly visible having so little fat to compete with. I don't like my body now but I think age will actually do me a favor.

Somewhere between mesomorph and ectomorph. It is true real mesomorphic guys are a rarity. Lol so many trolls in this thread.

[Methusalem]

Ectomorph naturally but due to intensive training and good nutrition I managed to turn myself into mesomorph

You can't turn into a different somatype. You are just a trained ectomorph.

My personal trainer measured some part of my body, i think they are very accurate:

head circunmference: 590 mm
Head Lenght: 218 mm
Head breadht: 165 mm
chest circunmference: 96 mm
hip breadht: 450 mm
shoulder breadht: 51 mm

also i'm 1,80 tall for 85 kg, i suppose i am endomoprh.
