What is ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph body types

According to muscleandstrength.com, there are broadly three types of body types — ectomorph, mesomorph, or endomorph.

An ectomorph is a person who is typically skinny and have a “light build with small joints and lean muscle”, along with “long thin limbs with stringy muscles”.

People with ectomorph body type often find it hard to gain weight because they have a fast metabolism.

A mesomorph person has a “large bone structure, large muscles and a naturally athletic physique” and that they are the “best body type for bodybuilding”.

Mesomorphs respond well to weight training and gaining fat more easily than ectomorphs.

The third kind is the endomorph which, according to muscleandstrength.com, is “solid and generally soft”.
