What is your body type? take the test and find out

Killa_Z · May 16th, 2005, 01:54 PM

I was just browsing on bodbybuilding.com (great site) and came across this body type tester which tells you where you stand on the somatotype chart.

I dont know how accurate this test is but its interesting and fun to try out and do if you got some time, once your results are given; it tells you how to train and eat for your bodytype.

Dont lie and cheat just to make your results show that your are 'mr muscle'.

remember: its nothing serious so dont get offended if your not happy with the results

.

any way, heres the link http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/becker3.htm

It says I'm a mesomorph. I used to consider myself an ectomorph but maybe I was just an under-developed mesomorph.

**Manfred_Man** · May 16th, 2005, 02:09 PM

well, just what i thought... "Your body is between an Ectomorph and a Mesomorph."

scored a 2.33 on the scale... so, do i pass or do i have to write a make-up quiz?

good link, old_fart!

i know what you mean, i think if i'd taken this a few months ago i would have easily been an ectomorph but it tells me im now a meso.

**falconfootball** · May 16th, 2005, 03:15 PM

damn, i have a 1.5. is this like golf where the lowest score wins?

**Adonis** · May 16th, 2005, 04:05 PM

I knew this allready though. I have done the old Russian somatotyping tests where its a barage or bone girth measurments, muscle girth mesaurments, and height weight, body fat. I ended up being a mesomorph with ectomorph tendencies. I will amintain a lean bodyfat level almost always, but can gain muscle easily.

Your score is 1.92.

Your body is closest to a Mesomorph. You 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.

wow, always thought i was an ectomorph...but it sez here i'm a meso with 2.25...interesting.

**wil** · May 16th, 2005, 06:38 PM

I came out 1.67.

I am between an EndoMorph and a Mesomorph.

My GUT tells me that I am closer to the Endo side of that "in between" range.

Hey guys, I found a link for the way I learned to do somatotyping in school. It has a file you download and open with acrobat reader. Long manual, but very in depth. If you choose to do the tests, you will ahve a better idea of how to train right. This is how the Russians used to decide which sport a child would go into. Thats why they produced qulait athletes, always had the right bodytype for the sport. It didn't always workout, but they did own the Olympics for years in a bunch of events.

same as descarado, 2.25 meso

**the_quiet_guy** · May 17th, 2005, 07:28 AM

I got a 2.25 as a meso? I definately don't fall into that category. Test is faulty.

premedios · May 25th, 2006, 05:11 PM

Mesomorph. Yay!

I've been dieting for the last 3 months and running for the last week now

Your score is 2.33.

Your body is between an Ectomorph and a Mesomorph. Choose a middle approach between the follow recommendations.
