is ectomorph the best body type as a male for bodybuilding? If you're an ecto you can keep a shredded, hard looking physique pretty easily. I feel like being a mesomorph is harder to maintain being shredded

Ectomorphs are people above 6ft, mesomorphs are 5'7" to 5'11" and endomorphs are everything below 5'7". Taller people have to eat more calories making bodybuilding difficult for some who get stuck in DYEL mode without gear

>height=body type
kys
>>40498497
def not, i'm 6'4 with WIDDEEE as fuck hips/shoulders, barrel chest, etc.
>>40498510
Look at the fucking picture you can clearly see the height difference in Ectomorphs and endomorphs
>>40498524
holy shit this board is full of meatheads
Look up the definition of each body type, it has nothing to do with height and much more to do with build irrespective of how tall someone is, you're telling me there's no such thing as a short skinny guy or a tall broad guy?
>x-morphs
Biggest meme
>>40498510
this. body type has nothing to do with height. there are tall endomorphs and short ectomorphs but the whole 'body type' idea is just stupid. the better word for it is FRAME. and HEIGHT and FRAME are SEPERATE
>>40498705
what do if shit frame

somatotypes are complete bullshit
jesus christ how do you dumb fucks still believe in this crap?
>>40498474
they look like titans from shingeki no kyojin, the one on the left in particular
>le xyz-morph
Nice meme
>somatotypes
somatotypes is an invalid theory, look it up

Somatypes aren't real.

Somatypes as in the original theory that different body types determine things like intelligence and temperament is bullshit, yes. But not everyone has the same frame, which is what I'm sure op means.
>>40500593
yeah race is a better indicator of intelligence and temperament
[Serious question] What's the difference between the mesomorph and endomorph?
If the endomorph would eat healthy and work out he'd probably look just like the mesomorph right?
>>40499935
well u have good body for powerlifting just do that. since deadlift and squat can be fucking huge with small frame and u will be more competitive in lower weight class while still having more lean muscle mass
