Why the fuck do people feel the need to mix the tons of genetic factors such as skeletal structure, height, wrist size, overall skeletal frame and width from shoulder to shoulder with loads of heavily influencable attributes such as muscle mass, fat percentage and """metabolism""" (also known as calorie needs per day which drastically changes based on bodyfat and muscle mass) and straight up how heavy you are (also incredibly influencable) into this cesspool of shit called the "somatotypes"?
I especially dislike the "endomorph" one. That's just the frame of a "mesomorph" but with too much fat. Okay, some people gain muscle faster than others, but how the fuck is fat percentage even related to "bodytype"? If you have the exact same skeletal structure and height as a ripped dude, and you ended up with a similar bodyfat and weight plus trained exacly like them, your ""metabolism"" would be VERY similar to them.
It feels like this is just an excuse weak willed lanklets or fatties use to devalue the work of people who actually work out down to "its just genetics", and try and justify their own shitty body by saying "im just like this cause genetics, cant change that"
Even if you look at the "ectomorph", you'd find that if they had an FFMI of like 25 they'd STILL be considered a "mesomorph".
The whole creation of this crappy pseudo-science shit is just a joke.

Simple, people like to blame the fact that they're fat, skinny, or whatever on a perceived unchangeable trait instead of their lack of discipline. So yeah, you're right.
>>42320915
The only people who believe the whole somatype thing are newfags and people who want an excuse
>>42320915
Yeah sure you fag
>been an ectomorph since puberty
>eat as much as i can every day
>work out 5 times a week for over a year
>felt stronger for the first 2 months, after that nothing changed at all
I'm just not made to be big and strong, it's impossible for me. You mesomorphs should be thankful yorur genetics made you so strong.

I don't think you get it. People like him think that a third of a pie is like 2500 calories and spends 2 hours eating it.
>>42321286

Did you calculate TDEE on a website, factor in daily activity, and add 500 calories to be sure you're above maintenance?
>>42321601
well duh, i probably ate like a kilo of pasta one day, but i actually LOST a pound that week. i'm DOOMED to be a boney fucking mess my whole life thanks to my ectomorph bodytype that i have. i wish i was born a mesomorph.
