Is this a meme?

>>35200735
To an extent yes because some people simply are born with thicker bones

But it doesn't mean you can't get big

>>35200735
If you looked at zyzz's before picture you would say

>wow he's an ectomorph

If you look at zyzz's after pic you would say

>wow he's a mesomorph

It's a troll

>>35200735
if by meme you mean ridiculous pseudoscience, then yes

>>35200749
bone thickness doesn't really have anything to do with somatotypes, desu.

nobody is saying we all have identical anatomy.. but everything you read about different somatotypes (differences between say mesomorph and endomorph) is patent bullshit.

>>35200735
do some people have different body types? yes.
does having a certain body type give you any other information about that person (e.g. 'hard-gainer')? no, this is retarded broscience.

>>35200735
it "works", but it's fucking useless. Like the Zyzz example, you can look like a skelly ectomorph, train for a year, look like a mesomorph, then train for another 4 years and look as thick as an endomorph.

If anything, it's only visual classification.

>>35200735
yee

>>35200735
This is muscle-confusion tier broscience.

>>35200797
No, there are no types. People just have different sized bones and muscles.

Having a certain ratio of hips to shoulders or whatever doesn't make it a body type.

confirmed meme

It can be used as a descriptor about someone's current body but it implies no a priori knowledge about a persons potential.

its like bear mode and otter mode except for normies.

>>35200735
No, manlets are very real

>>35200735
yes

>>35200735

No, just completely false.
