I visit /fit/ fairly often, and I'm really tired of ectomorphs bitching about getting ripped and how hard it is. As one, I can say that it's not hard at all if you keep at it. Eat when you're hungry, don't obsess but make sure you're eating healthy, and you're fucking golden. And second of all, it's an awesome body type for when you do get ripped. It shows more then most other body types.

And if you do calisthenics, you're twice as lucky because it's a lot easier to lift your low body weight--meaning you can do some pretty crazy excersise types faster then the other body types.

tl;dr stop your bitching, you're not gimped at all.

I feel very lucky being a meso, right in the middle. I can go up or down about 5% body fat in two weeks or so. Maybe I just know my body better than most.

I'd rather be an ecto than a fucking endo.

I could eat nothing but carrots and still gain weight. Although I've trimmed down from 260-220 through healthy eating, weight lifting and cardio..it's still bullshit that Endo's who are basicly born with a 6 pack can complain about anything.

It probably not hard to gain weight when you follow a good program, but if you aren't working out, you look ridiculous.

Pic is me, with around 1½ years on a very active outdoor job.
I started bodyweight training last week and eating a lot more. I'd be happy just to get some more fat really.

5"9 and around 68kg

Agreed. I'm an endomorph and I'm sick of ectos bitching all the time.

OH NO, THEY HAVE TO EAT MORE DELICIOUS FOOD! STFU. Ectos are already starting from a position where women will find them attractive, and they just have to work decently to get ripped. Endos are fucked.

Alright then, everyone in this thread. Let's trade places for a moment. Imagine the first pang of that sensation that signals you're full. Pretty satisfying, yes? Now take that a step onward, the uncomfortable bloated feeling you get, say, at a party or restaurant where you've eaten too much. Not so great, perhaps tolerable, if only because you can space out your next meal appropriately. But not if you're trying to gain weight. Take it further; think about carrying more physical weight in the mid-section of your body than you've ever been used to, ever increasing.

Imagine forcing that shit down 24/7, gagging on oversized portions at every fucking meal, always frequent, because anything else is a step back. If you miss one, suddenly your hyped metabolism burns through whatever it has and you feel inexplicably hungry at the most inconvenient times. Imagine how much it suddenly costs to keep up this kind of diet in places where large portions of anything, let alone anything appetising, are hard to come by (i.e. anywhere but the U.S.). Imagine having to stretch that pathetic little bag you call your stomach at every turn, working your ass off in the gym, just as hard as anyone else, then weighing yourself at the end of every month to find you've not moved at all, or some months, even actually gone down.

Speaking as a 150lb guy who has to continually choke on so many calories to just maintain my current position and can't spare much money for overpriced weight gain supplements (though I buy whey powder), I'm not saying it's more or less difficult to start on one side of the scale or the other here, if only because I've never experienced how it is to be overweight, but never imply it's easy, because it's sure as hell not.

Better than having to restrict yourself every fucking meal because your body will not hesitate to get fat.

I'd say the willpower to restrict oneself and the willpower to force feed oneself probably land about equal.

>born with a 6 pack

Six packs don't work that way. Low weight does not necessarily equal a low bodyfat percentage.

Mesomorph. That's where it's at.

Ectomorphs and endomorphs have their comparative disadvantages, but it doesn't matter if you work hard enough. The truth is, we're not all born to be genetic freaks of strength and fitness. Who cares? I'm happy working hard and gaining a strong, fit body that I can be proud of. I fulfill my own potential and meet my own goals, so why the fuck should I care about anyone else? Not everything in life is a competition, so stop bitching about others having a biological advantage.

moderate ecto here.

i'm about 6"4' and 175 lbs. surely not an extreme ecto, but i still think i'm relatively thin. and i have to say, i freakin rocks. i can eat lots of delicious food without getting fat quickly! i am lifting now for about 6 monaths and my muscles grow slower than the ones my meso friends, but you see every little gain and most of them are having troubles to maintain low bodyfat. stop complaining, enjoy shitloads of tasty food (STEAKZ) and work out like a motherfucker!

Doesn't matter what kind of *morph you are, if you eat unhealthy the inside of your body will suffer.
