The Three Body Types

Somatotyping (Sheldon, 1940s) categorises body structure into three main types, though most people are a blend. Understanding your somatotype can help tailor diet and training approaches.

Ectomorph: Long limbs, low body fat, difficulty gaining muscle. Benefit from higher calories and compound lifts.
Mesomorph: Athletic build, responds well to training, moderate metabolism. Most versatile type.
Endomorph: Higher body fat, gains weight easily, stocky. Benefit from cardio, strength training, calorie control.
