There are three main body types: ectomorph, mesomorph, and
endomorph. You can be a combination of body types but will
predominantly be one over the other. These body types are
general groupings of body make-ups that describe muscle
building ability as well as fat storage and distribution.

An ectomorph is characterised by long and thin muscles and
limbs, is naturally thin with lower fat storage, and has a harder
time putting on muscle. A mesomorph is characterised by larger
bones, a solid torso, wide shoulders, a trim waist, controlled body
fat levels, and typically puts on muscle easily. An endomorph is
characterised by increased fat storage, wider waist, larger bone
structure, and typically gains weight easily. If you need help
