I enjoy taking a piss at Firas as much as the next guy, but he's not actually wrong in this clip. He gets the 3 types mixed up and height has probably nothing to do with it, but other than that, what's wrong with what he said?
"Endomorph or ectomorp whatever I could be wrong." ~firas Joe ~ "you see thats the problem with this conversation is that neither one of us are biolgists"
actually it's worse than that.. the concept comes from old psychology theories, not biology. And Joe Rogan is more correct in the differences between the three types.

To explain this in layman’s terms generally: 1.Ectomorphs are smaller boned, longer muscle insertions, higher metabolism individuals. Mesomorphs are medium sized bones, full muscles insertions, and middle of the road metabolism. Endomorphs are larger boned, shorter muscle insertions, with slower metabolism. In fitness this generally equates to: Endomorphs have a harder time building muscle, have to eat more, but because of the smaller joints, as they build muscle they will look great! Lots of flare to the muscles, very ascetic look because of the longer muscle insertions, but it will be difficult to maintain as they can lose muscle quickly. 2 Mesomorph like mentioned is the athletic physic, even as a kid you can see this body. Many children who start sports early (3-5yrs)develop this way. If active with little effort Mesomorphs will always have a muscular look. If sedentary, they usually look just like the average person. If trained they can get jacked, and have the ability to gain or lose weight by pretty much diet alone. Endomorphs, well every top power lifter in the world is an Endomorph. Larger boned, thicker waist, back hips and thighs, easier to gain weight, (fat and muscle) and generally overall bigger than most, weight and height. Note there is every variance under the sun when it comes to humans, but these three categories, do fit most humans. I know this video is older but it came across my feed so Joe seemed confused on the subject so here is some clarification. Cheers! and for Joe I am a biologist.
The somatotypes are usually characterised by shoulders and hips, not weight. Mesomorph - wide shoulders, narrow hips. Ectomorph - Narrow hips and shoulders. Endomorph - narrow shoulders, wide hips.
Testomorph should be a thing. People who get lean and pack on muscle because they run TRT or do cycles of testosterone, even tho they naturally have a different body type.
No one (with maybe some weird genetic exceptions) is destined to be some obese blob based on muh genes so I agree on that. However, if you don't think genes play a role in how your body reacts to exercise and food then you need to look at genetics. West Africans vs even East Africans vs Nordic Whites all have predispositions for certain body types. Genes do play a role no doubt.
Guy is almost spot on. You can be a mix of all the body types, your not just one. I’ve always told people in a perfect scenario you would be low on the ectomorph scale and high in the mesomorph/endomorph so you can pack on some good weight on your frame. Like he said everyone can get ripped, endomorphs might have to work a little harder and diet a bit longer but a ripped endomorph dominant body type will look similar to a ripped mesomorph dominant body type
Ecto has its advantages. Ideal is literally just meso. Endo might get huge asf with good muscles, but they will lack in performance and might have great explosive power but not enough stamina/cardio. An ectomorph will struggle hard to gain but if they are committed over a long period of time, they will get bigger, will be forced to eat and train like madman just to maintain their body, won't lose much cardio since due to being an ecto they can control it if they want more strength or eat a bit less and immediately lose weight and have better cardio. Mesomorph is the only ideal one because it doesn't even have to work hard to gain or lose.

It would be amazing to have Jeff on the podcast while Eddie Bravo goes crazy on some conspiracy theories. Jeff sitting there with a straight face wondering if he entered some kind of cult.
I watched this whole podcast and let me tell you what I've garnered from it...Firas is a knowitall and manages to be wrong a lot of the times... incredible.
I agree!! Definitely a know it all. He also does this thing a lot when he doesn't know the name of something, he goes " sorry I can't remember it now, though its in the tip of my tongue, because my mind is tired as I just came from training..." or some kind of similar excuse like that! Lol! He has many excuses prepared!
I'm 6'3" and was 158lb. Got tired of the skinny comments so I started working out every single day. 3 years later at 210lbs my friends mind's were blown
I'm an endomorph and what he's saying is true. Although I'm naturally fat, when I started working out I immediately gained muscle. Although the fat is very hard to loose but the good thing is the muscle is just as hard to loose. For me to look aesthetic I have to go on an aggressively low carolic diet which also consists of alot of protein. But if I eat like a normal person and still work out I'll prolly look like fat Thor but not as fat 😂
There’s no such thing as “ naturally fat “ fat is a substance that’s easily melted by calorie deficit anybody can lose fat but people will find a million excuse when it comes to diet and weight loss.
@@romelc6347 i guess you dont know about genetics playing to a persons body type. And have you experienced being fat? Im not pro fat or any bullshit like that but im certainly bigger than normal people and retain fat more than the average person. Yes diet will fix it and working out but I definitely have it harder to lose than the body types with normal metabolism
@@Evl.28239 He's talking about biology and hes talking out his behind. The guys first comment was just agro saying its about fighting when the discussion doesnt involve fighting at all.
Jeff CavaLIEre uses fake weights while claiming he's actually lifting said amount. Due to that, it's also more likely that Jeff uses low doses of TRT and isn't telling anyone. Jeff uses pictures of guys on steroids to sell his own brand of supplements. Jeff CavaLIEre is a conman.
You don't have to be fat to be an endomorph, Infact it has more to do with agility to put on weight, whether it beat muscle or fat. Like Tyron. He's an endomorph. He's not ripped, but he has a lot of muscle that he packs on without trying.
@@gm836 The ones who look the best at the end are endomorphs and mesomorphs. Ectomorphs have the worst bodybuilding genetics but on the bright side, can eat whatever they want and still stay super ripped.
I used to compete in true natural bodybuilding but I gained 20 some pounds and couldn't get rid of it for years.Then 2 months ago I did 10 two day fasts in a month. I lost 21 lbs and now Im ripped. Start with one day fasts to get used to it and move to 2 day or longer and youll thank me later. Best, fastest and cheapest way. And, it allows our body a chance to heal. Research it for yourself.
@@mikeyd1216 First of all, consider it a workout for your willpower. You will get hungry, but results is what drives us, and no other way gives you faster results. And Ive done it all. Actually the low/good carb eating made me hungrier than just fasting. When I started fasting, I failed twice trying to do 48 hour fasts, couldnt go past 24 hours. Then it gets easier, your body gets used to it as you do it more and more. Trust me, start doing fasts and in a short couple months youll be surprised how easily you can do 2 day fasts. I actually like the hunger feeling now. The body runs through all the glucose/sugar after 16 hours of eating, less if it was low carb. Then it starts dissolving fat with bile. It also heals itself, a process called Autophagy. Google it
I sat beside Firas at a UFC event where he wasn't coaching he was just in the crowd and he gave some of the most precise play by play to the group he was sitting with it was so phenomenal for a fight nerd like me to hear. He called the K.O by Jimmo (RIP) before the fight even started amongst many other little tidbits. Then was super nice when i asked him for a pic he even propped his arm up on my shoulder to make it a much better pic man telling you it was a fight geeks dream come true! What a great asset to MMA.
@@flipf615 let’s set the stage here, I’m minding my own business just had a great dinner and preparing myself to train later on and my phone blinks and I see a notification from someone that says “ya sure” on a very basic but 100% story that I took the time to write because I enjoy interacting with MMA fans about the sport. Weird but if that story seems like a lie you just live a very ordinary life full of envy and disappointment.
From what i know, Joe I is right: Ecto: doesn't get fat, has hard time gaining fat, generally tall with long limbs and good resistance. Meso: gets muscles easily, have wide shoulders. Endo: gets fat easily. At least for men i think It works this way. Regardless, no one Is 100% Meso, Echto or Endo, we are all a mixture of those three to a certain degree. Anyone can get a good physic, people who tend to be at the extremes of the spectrum, Endo and especially Ehto, will have a hard time getting it. The method to build muscles is pretty much the same, somatotypes determine just your potential and how hard will it be to get results.
Ectomorph: Lean and long, with difficulty building muscle. Endomorph: Big, high body fat, often pear-shaped, with a high tendency to store body fat. Mesomorph: Muscular and well-built, with a high metabolism and responsive muscle cells.
There's no doubt there are several different body types. He's talking about the main 3 ones, but most people fall between one body type and another. I don't know where he's getting this short stocky guys always being endomorph thing from though. Pretty sure height is irrelevant to body type. You can be the same height as another person and be short and stocky or short and skinny. Lol.
TrEVILlyan 95 it was a rating system based on basically appearance. I could make up a body type rating system called the jacked, skinny or fat scale and it would be equally as worthless.
An Aussie except your scale doesn't have any strong holdings that originated in the criminal justice system, it may be a pseudoscience, but it does have some credibility in regards to grouping people
Somatotypes were designated by a psychological study to determine if body types had a consistent impact on a person's personality. For example, are people normally jolly? They were debunked within a few months of being proposed. They are not taken seriously by anyone who knows what they are. Your muscle insertions and limb lengths are determined by genetics and your doctor will never classify you by your somatotype. You would be considered underweight, healthy, overweight, or obese. These somatotypes were not created for, expected to be used for, or useful for any type of fitness endeavor. People become because of a slow metabolism, injuries, glandular issues, overeating, etc. People are skinny due to fast metabolisms, low calorie intake, exercising often, etc. Mesomorphs could be anyone who eats a decent diet with a decent metabolism, someone who has a great diet and workout routine with a slow metabolism, or someone who eats a lot and has a fast metabolism. At any point in your life you could go from being slow to fast, weak to strong, slim to large, or fat to ripped and it doesn't matter what the fuck your somatotype is. 1: Eat right 2:Train hard 3:Sleep well 4:Stop making stupid fucking excuses about your body when you don't even know what you are talking about. If you believe shit like this matters then you clearly have not done your research and I don't even think you are educated enough to make a real excuse. Here comes the onslaught of people who don't know what they are talking about but will still try to tell me I'm wrong without reading my whole post or looking anything up.
...Somatotypes are not excuses. They are body types. Some girls are 5'8 and they have tiny feet tiny hands small head very narrow shoulders and are naturally small. They have a tall skinny model girl look and even if they gained weight, they can never change their bone structure. It has nothing to do with the choices they make. Then another girl can be 5'8 and built like a linebacker, wide shoulders, naturally heavier, big feet, big hands, thick wrists and weighs way more than the other girl, but isn't fat and the same exact height. If she tried to weigh the same as the tiny model girl, she'd end up in the hospital. Being big boned is not the same thing as being fat. Big bones exist regardless of whether you are fat or not. This is what people mean by somatotypes. People can have drastically bigger and smaller bone structure at the same height. Fuck off with your dumb ass motivational crap.
I'm an endomorph, thick with muscle. It's definitely harder for me to lose fat, but it is easy to build muscle. I'm currently working out 5 times a week, 7 months in and lost 16lbs, 206 to 190 and I'm 5'5"
There is no 3 categories. As you said "they fall on a continuum" or a spectrum. Your genes and chromosomes don't know categories, it's just a combination of all sorts. Genetics makes a big difference and can determine your metabolism.
I come from the weightlifting world, it's pretty well known that yes if their willing anyone healthy can get pretty ripped. Putting on allot of muscle is a different story much more difficult. That's why you see many more people with abs sub 200 pounds than mass monsters.
Im not a car mechanic or expert but i still know enough about it to talk about certain topics at length with anyone. There is no school where they feed you special knowledge that an average person can't learn on their own.
Lol Joe was 100% right about the Endomorph and Mesomorph and the other guy has basically the same understanding of it, and was just confusing what Joe’s idea of it was.
It’s entirely wrong. No such thing as endo, ecto, or mesomorphs. I was called an ectomorph then I gained 50lbs and now people say I’m a mesomorph. It’s bullshit. Just eat enough and train.
Future of the West Podcast if thats the case then why does boxing and mma require different weight classes? Obviously there is just people with different body types. Anthony Joshua and Manny Pacquiao for example lol
I love how people deny up and down that these three different body types matter because they aren't real. It's only those who are on both ends of the spectrum who truly understand what it's like to either struggle or gain weight. For me, I'm a total endomorph. I was kinda chubby growing up, but I put on muscle so fast I got stretch marks. When I go to the gym, I almost always get a good pump. My arms are thick, my chest is thick, and my stomach is soft. I eat a lower carb diet than most people yet I'm still chubby. I've got lots of muscle and I could put on more if I really went for it, but the weight just doesn't go.
I’m exactly the same in march 2021 I was 98 kg & now I am 70kg & still have a lot of fat on my body mainly body fat & im 5,11 im trying to add on muscle any tips on how to lose the body fat & gain muscle mass my goal is to be 85kg with 22% body fat I am 29.5% body fat at the moment
@@BoxOf0121it’s hard to do both, but it’s mostly down to thermodynamics, and having enough protein available for your body to turn into muscle(which it can do up to 5 times a day). Look into coach Gregg on UA-cam, he really gives it to you Barney style.
@@BoxOf0121Good High Carb High Protein diet mixed with exercise. Gotta eat a few hundred more calories than your recommended intake, also gotta burn those calories in activity. No exceptions. You'll have to buckle down and discipline yourself to an alarming degree, but the results will be worth it.
This concept is taken from Ayurveda. As per Ayurveda we have 3 different body types: 'Vata' (lean), 'Pitta' (bit bulky), Kapha (very bulky). Do check out on Google.
All theories Firas is a proponent of have been proven false years ago, he is a one of the best if not the best mma trainers, but resistance training and nutrition is not his min field, so it's normal , but people are callimg him the scientist of mma or something and there are many inconsistencies with his theories froma sport science standpoint
@@qpghostqp9551 Firas Zahabi is a world class fighter trainer.He has one of the best fight gyms in the world. He is not like Jeff Cavaliere whose specialty is bodybuilding/training/nutrition/body types. What are you on?I can say it too, Jeff Cavaliere knows nothing about fighting compared to this guy.
Has nothing to do with “body types” people don’t have fat bones…the absolute truth…is that people have different appetites due to different hormone levels…that’s it. There are people who eat like birds and others who can’t stop eating…dat is it
I hate being an ectomorph 😅 been working out and eating 3500 cals a day 5-6 days a week and still can’t gain weight. Just getting a little stronger and shredded. But not bigger.
Yeah Tyler but you make the best American Ninjas ever. You don’t weigh squat and you’re strong as hell. The mesomorphs and endomorphs can’t compete with you in the AN games. Their extra muscle/weight is hell on their grip.
You’ll put on the weight eventually I was skinny asf in hs 125lbs 5’10 now I’m actually cutting to lose my beer belly from 191 to 168, I’m at 178 rn but when I was 21 years I actually got tired about always working out and never gaining weight but then I actually started tracking my calories and I actually started to gain weight, as long as you’re in a surplus you’ll gain weight trust me coming from a fellow ectomorph
@@michaelmurillo0098 thanks man, yeah that’s my newest thing I’m trying is tracking my calories and trying to figure out what my surplus actually is. I’m at 3200-3500 cals a day right now and 1g protein per 1lb. Not gaining much weight on the scale but getting stronger and more lean muscle mass
@@tylerburch2260 I’m also ectomorph, I managed to go from 136 lbs to 160 lbs in 3 months (2lbs a week) it is possible, I had a very similar approach to you 3000 cal a day and 200g protein, however I did end up gaining unwanted body fat alongside muscle. I trained 6 days a week with a push pull legs routine and no cardio.
Body types have a very minimal effect on your weight and ability to gain muscle. If you eat the appropriate amount of calories and protein and you progressively overload in the gym with a good workout routine, you will gain muscle and size barring some rare medical condition.
Eat well, workout well, sleep well, read well. Enjoy life to fullest.

Brown_GroundWalker Doesn’t that apply to anyone over the age of 30?
Brown_GroundWalker Pretty sure it does since older people have a slower metabolism than young people.
@Chandu That has nothing to do with what I said.
I watched this whole podcast and let me tell you what I've garnered from it...Firas is a knowitall and manages to be wrong a lot of the times... incredible.
ctdvargas yeah he’s a bit of a dumbass.
Yeah he looks like a know it all type of body
I agree!! Definitely a know it all. He also does this thing a lot when he doesn't know the name of something, he goes " sorry I can't remember it now, though its in the tip of my tongue, because my mind is tired as I just came from training..." or some kind of similar excuse like that! Lol! He has many excuses prepared!
Firas is naturally skinny guy come on..
Yup, I can see that. A lot of the things he was saying weren’t checking out. Glad I’m not the only one that caught it.
I'm 6'3" and was 158lb. Got tired of the skinny comments so I started working out every single day. 3 years later at 210lbs my friends mind's were blown
6’3 and i was 152 2 months ago. I’m now 168, 210 would be a dream
I was 6'1 and 140 in highschool. That was 1994. I'm 6'2" and 215 now. I still have people telling me I'm too skinny lol.
@@YOUDIRTYlilLIaR lol skinny would be like 170. 200 is optimal
They're telling you you're too skinny because almost everyone today is fat. That's a perfect weight for your height.
Damn man
I'm an endomorph and what he's saying is true. Although I'm naturally fat, when I started working out I immediately gained muscle. Although the fat is very hard to loose but the good thing is the muscle is just as hard to loose. For me to look aesthetic I have to go on an aggressively low carolic diet which also consists of alot of protein. But if I eat like a normal person and still work out I'll prolly look like fat Thor but not as fat 😂
Dude. Same 😂
Im endomorph too and what you said seems the same for me.
The whole endo/ecto/mesomorph bullshit is complete broscience.
There’s no such thing as “ naturally fat “ fat is a substance that’s easily melted by calorie deficit anybody can lose fat but people will find a million excuse when it comes to diet and weight loss.
@@romelc6347 i guess you dont know about genetics playing to a persons body type. And have you experienced being fat? Im not pro fat or any bullshit like that but im certainly bigger than normal people and retain fat more than the average person. Yes diet will fix it and working out but I definitely have it harder to lose than the body types with normal metabolism

Yes please get Jeff Cavaliere on the show, that would be an intriguing conversation
Joe: So Jeff... when did you start using drugs to get ripped?
Jeff: Yes.
Jeff CavaLIEre uses fake weights while claiming he's actually lifting said amount. Due to that, it's also more likely that Jeff uses low doses of TRT and isn't telling anyone. Jeff uses pictures of guys on steroids to sell his own brand of supplements. Jeff CavaLIEre is a conman.

This would be a better conversation if Firas didn't confuse the body types as well.
What do you mean "as well". Firas is the only person that confuses the body types in that conversation.
Edson Barboza - mesomorph
Adesanya - ectomorph
Derrick Lewis - endomorph
You don't have to be fat to be an endomorph, Infact it has more to do with agility to put on weight, whether it beat muscle or fat. Like Tyron. He's an endomorph. He's not ripped, but he has a lot of muscle that he packs on without trying.
I would say Francis Ngannou and Yoel Romero are better examples of a mesomorph.

I used to compete in true natural bodybuilding but I gained 20 some pounds and couldn't get rid of it for years.Then 2 months ago I did 10 two day fasts in a month. I lost 21 lbs and now Im ripped.
Start with one day fasts to get used to it and move to 2 day or longer and youll thank me later. Best, fastest and cheapest way. And, it allows our body a chance to heal. Research it for yourself.
How do curb the hunger?
@@mikeyd1216 First of all, consider it a workout for your willpower. You will get hungry, but results is what drives us, and no other way gives you faster results. And Ive done it all. Actually the low/good carb eating made me hungrier than just fasting.
When I started fasting, I failed twice trying to do 48 hour fasts, couldnt go past 24 hours. Then it gets easier, your body gets used to it as you do it more and more. Trust me, start doing fasts and in a short couple months youll be surprised how easily you can do 2 day fasts. I actually like the hunger feeling now.
The body runs through all the glucose/sugar after 16 hours of eating, less if it was low carb. Then it starts dissolving fat with bile.
It also heals itself, a process called Autophagy. Google it
Thanks 🍻
@@bellmeisterful thanks for the info. I'll give it a try and see how I do. I can do 12 hours but never have tried 24 or even thought of doing 48.

I sat beside Firas at a UFC event where he wasn't coaching he was just in the crowd and he gave some of the most precise play by play to the group he was sitting with it was so phenomenal for a fight nerd like me to hear. He called the K.O by Jimmo (RIP) before the fight even started amongst many other little tidbits. Then was super nice when i asked him for a pic he even propped his arm up on my shoulder to make it a much better pic man telling you it was a fight geeks dream come true! What a great asset to MMA.

From what i know, Joe I
is right:
Ecto: doesn't get fat, has hard time gaining fat, generally tall with long limbs and good resistance.
Meso: gets muscles easily, have wide shoulders.
Endo: gets fat easily.
At least for men i think It works this way. Regardless, no one Is 100% Meso, Echto or Endo, we are all a mixture of those three to a certain degree. Anyone can get a good physic, people who tend to be at the extremes of the spectrum, Endo and especially Ehto, will have a hard time getting it. The method to build muscles is pretty much the same, somatotypes determine just your potential and how hard will it be to get results.
Endo: gets fat and muscles easily**
Ectomorph: Lean and long, with difficulty building muscle. Endomorph: Big, high body fat, often pear-shaped, with a high tendency to store body fat. Mesomorph: Muscular and well-built, with a high metabolism and responsive muscle cells.
So if your not mesomorph,. Your screwed
Random Kid100 you can still be in top shape as a endo or ecto. Meso you can say is just given better ingredients to pack muscle faster w a nice look.
Cameron No such thing as Endo/Medo/Ecto types. It’s pseudo-science with no scientific evidence.

ticke153 I liked it, great insight.
There's no doubt there are several different body types. He's talking about the main 3 ones, but most people fall between one body type and another. I don't know where he's getting this short stocky guys always being endomorph thing from though. Pretty sure height is irrelevant to body type. You can be the same height as another person and be short and stocky or short and skinny. Lol.

Somatotypes are a myth.
Chris Richardson how is it a myth
www.healthylivingheavylifting.com/why-body-types-are-bullshit/
TrEVILlyan 95 it was a rating system based on basically appearance. I could make up a body type rating system called the jacked, skinny or fat scale and it would be equally as worthless.
An Aussie except your scale doesn't have any strong holdings that originated in the criminal justice system, it may be a pseudoscience, but it does have some credibility in regards to grouping people
TrEVILlyan 95 not even a little and is constantly proven false and no one takes it seriously.
Somatotypes were designated by a psychological study to determine if body types had a consistent impact on a person's personality. For example, are people normally jolly?
They were debunked within a few months of being proposed.
They are not taken seriously by anyone who knows what they are.
Your muscle insertions and limb lengths are determined by genetics and your doctor will never classify you by your somatotype. You would be considered underweight, healthy, overweight, or obese.
These somatotypes were not created for, expected to be used for, or useful for any type of fitness endeavor.
People become because of a slow metabolism, injuries, glandular issues, overeating, etc.
People are skinny due to fast metabolisms, low calorie intake, exercising often, etc.
Mesomorphs could be anyone who eats a decent diet with a decent metabolism, someone who has a great diet and workout routine with a slow metabolism, or someone who eats a lot and has a fast metabolism.
At any point in your life you could go from being slow to fast, weak to strong, slim to large, or fat to ripped and it doesn't matter what the fuck your somatotype is.
1: Eat right
2:Train hard
3:Sleep well
4:Stop making stupid fucking excuses about your body when you don't even know what you are talking about. If you believe shit like this matters then you clearly have not done your research and I don't even think you are educated enough to make a real excuse.
Here comes the onslaught of people who don't know what they are talking about but will still try to tell me I'm wrong without reading my whole post or looking anything up.
It's Bro Science. Researched by bros. for bros. Let us have fun, bro
...Somatotypes are not excuses. They are body types. Some girls are 5'8 and they have tiny feet tiny hands small head very narrow shoulders and are naturally small. They have a tall skinny model girl look and even if they gained weight, they can never change their bone structure. It has nothing to do with the choices they make. Then another girl can be 5'8 and built like a linebacker, wide shoulders, naturally heavier, big feet, big hands, thick wrists and weighs way more than the other girl, but isn't fat and the same exact height. If she tried to weigh the same as the tiny model girl, she'd end up in the hospital. Being big boned is not the same thing as being fat. Big bones exist regardless of whether you are fat or not. This is what people mean by somatotypes. People can have drastically bigger and smaller bone structure at the same height. Fuck off with your dumb ass motivational crap.
@nicolas guzman layman's term is just describing if your bone structure is thin, medium or heavy while giving a height to correspond.
I'm an endomorph, thick with muscle. It's definitely harder for me to lose fat, but it is easy to build muscle. I'm currently working out 5 times a week, 7 months in and lost 16lbs, 206 to 190 and I'm 5'5"
There is no 3 categories. As you said "they fall on a continuum" or a spectrum. Your genes and chromosomes don't know categories, it's just a combination of all sorts. Genetics makes a big difference and can determine your metabolism.
Always snack according to your body type. Ripping a fart after too many beef jerky sticks makes you a stinkomorph

I love how people deny up and down that these three different body types matter because they aren't real. It's only those who are on both ends of the spectrum who truly understand what it's like to either struggle or gain weight. For me, I'm a total endomorph. I was kinda chubby growing up, but I put on muscle so fast I got stretch marks. When I go to the gym, I almost always get a good pump. My arms are thick, my chest is thick, and my stomach is soft. I eat a lower carb diet than most people yet I'm still chubby. I've got lots of muscle and I could put on more if I really went for it, but the weight just doesn't go.

@@BoxOf0121it’s hard to do both, but it’s mostly down to thermodynamics, and having enough protein available for your body to turn into muscle(which it can do up to 5 times a day). Look into coach Gregg on UA-cam, he really gives it to you Barney style.
@@BoxOf0121Good High Carb High Protein diet mixed with exercise. Gotta eat a few hundred more calories than your recommended intake, also gotta burn those calories in activity. No exceptions. You'll have to buckle down and discipline yourself to an alarming degree, but the results will be worth it.

Body types have a very minimal effect on your weight and ability to gain muscle. If you eat the appropriate amount of calories and protein and you progressively overload in the gym with a good workout routine, you will gain muscle and size barring some rare medical condition.
