Sup, genetics play a big role in how your body grows and so does the way you initially train/former training experiences. I went through boot camp and lost like over 6kgs of weight, originally weighing 75kg. Now I know a 85kg person who lost upwards of 10kg, and on the other end of the spectrum someone of similar weight that put on 10kg. I am in a unit with a skinny fuck who was 65kg when he joined, gained 15kg in boot and lost it and came back down to 65.
Stress, diet, previous training experiences, and current regimen all effect the gains and losses we experience but genetics certainly will have a larger role in the process then we would like to admit. A lot of people are against somatypes because they don't like to see things that may affect their motivated mindset or give people excuses for an ailment that exists out of laziness but to be honest, that's dumb. Somatypes like anything else are just a simple way to explain a basic template for something. If you keep saying OS instead of saying you're using linux then shit probably ain't goin work, ya digg? It's just another simple classification system that has moderate success because it's just that, simple.
I am an "ectomorph". I am tall, skinny, and could eat fucking pie for weeks and maybe get tooth decay and a fat ass but I still weigh in at the same weight. I have a friend who is nearly seven foot and went through a rage induced weightlifting plan, used whey, and didn't gain much weight but got mad strength gains. He was much stronger than most of the people on his sports team but his skinny bone bodytype didn't reveal it. I have put on muscle in my life and so has he, wasn't that hard but neither of us got zomg xbox hueg in a few months even with hardfuckingasswork.
People who get mad at somatypes are either anal shits or mototards. I rejoice the fact that i'm skinny, who cares about being 180lbs and unable to run, jump, or even able to handle your own bodyweight. You can keep that shit.
