I did a body type test and it said I am an Endo/Meso at 1.67 leaning slightly towards Mesomorph between body types 1 and 2.
So if you are like me this is the recommendation for your diet and exercise routine. Kind of vague and obvious and the same time but the interesting part was that it says I could benefit from taking less time in between sets an exercises to build muscle faster and burn more fat. Unlike Ectomorphs who have a higher metabolism and would benefit from taking longer breaks between sets to burn less calories if the goal is faster muscle gains.
Your body is between an EndoMorph and a Mesomorph. Choose a middle approach between the follow recommendations.
Endomorph: An Endomorph's biggest concern should be the losing of fat and adopting a lifestyle that keeps it off. Strength training should be done to get a better muscle to fat ratio and therefore improve metabolism. Use moderate weights at a fast training pace (very little rest between sets and exercises). You should lower your calorie intake (but not try to starve yourself) and should eat frequent but small meals. Sugars, sweets and junk food should be eliminated from your diet. Engage daily in some activity like brisk walking, biking, etc., and try to increase the amount of time you spend each week. Mesomorph: Mesomorphs have a naturally fit body but to maintain it or improve it you should exercise and diet correctly for your type. Strength training can be done more often and for longer sessions then would be good for an Ectomorph, but you must still be carefull not to overdo it. You should train with moderate to heavy weighs and at a moderate pace, not resting too long between sets. You will find you gain muscle quite easy (some women and even men might not want to get too bulky, but this won't happen suddenly. When you are happy with your muscle size simply train to maintain it). Stick to a good healthy diet to keep you lean and muscular, and watch for any slow creeping fat gains. Engage in and enjoy aerobic activities, sports, etc. but do not overdo.
