Unfortunately, body types aren't often addressed when it comes to mainstream fitness. Mainly because it would be too close to the truth and if the goal of the company is to sell a product, service or magazine, a broad statement like get a six-pack in six weeks is far better for sales than, if you're an Ectomorph and have been training for 3 years, have sub 10% body fat already and are willing to train for 5 hours a week for the next six weeks, you can get a six-pack. Endomorphs, unless you're willing to forgo your health, happiness and sanity, you can forget it. The truth is, Identifying your body type is extremely important when it comes to setting realistic and attainable health and fitness goals. While you may wish to have the body of Brad Pitt in fight club, if your physique more closely resembles that of Vin Diesel, you may be setting yourself up for failure before you've even begun.

Setting realistic expectations

As a personal trainer, My first job when working with a new client is always to set realistic expectations and to establish attainable goals for the individual based on their body type, fitness background and level of commitment. It always breaks my heart when I have to tell a client that their goal of being Lebron James when they're white, 5.2, and stocky is unrealistic. But, but, but. Nothing. I'm sorry, but even with all the hard work, sacrifice, and even surgery in the world, you cannot have a body type that isn't your own. It's simple Genetics! Now… all of this isn't to say that you can't have your best body, it just means, it might not look exactly like you thought. Instead of fantasizing about something you can't have, focus on something that you can! That starts with identifying your body type and learning to accept it. Once you've done that you can start making a plan to more effectively help you reach your fitness goals.

The 3 Male Body types

1. Ectomorph

2. Mesomorph

3. Endomorph

The 3 body types above, Ectomorph, Mesomorph and Endomorph are the most typical and easily identifiable male body types. It's important to keep in mind that not everyone fits directly into one of these 3 categories. More often than not, you'll find that men have a combination of either 1 and 2 or 2 and 3. By identifying which body type category you fall into, you will be much better equipped to create an effective diet and exercise plan and set more realistic and attainable goals that pave the way to better results. Here's your guide on how to train, eat and supplements for each of the male body types.

1. Ectomorph

How do I know if someone secretly doesn't like me?

"Many times people who are not particularly fond of you have a hard time making eye contact," Craig said. "These individuals often seem distracted or disconnected while speaking and engaging with you. Their eyes may shift to other things happening around you which indicates a lack of respect and attention."

When it comes to forming new relationships or friendship, people usually base their first impression off of how the other person makes them feel. If they’re nice to you, you start to believe that this could be something long lasting and if they’re not, you’re often left wondering just why they weren’t. Though you can sometimes walk away not knowing that a person isn’t a fan of you, it is common knowledge that people crossing their arms while speaking to you or looking elsewhere when doing the same are ways to know that your hopeful new relationships isn’t going far. According to international consultant, speaker, host, and best-selling author Ali Craig, however, there are plenty of indicators that someone may not be fond of you the way you are of them. "Believe it or not, the distance someone keeps from you, whether or not their arms are crossed, lack of eye contact, forced smiles and other nonverbal behaviors can and sometimes are indicators as to whether or not someone likes you," she said. "This is not always the case, however, and just like any rule, there are always exceptions. But many times, if people are displaying two, three or four of the signs listed below, there’s a good chance they might consider you a foe versus friend." Although creating new bonds are often beneficial, here are 10 ways to know that your efforts to form a new relationship won’t go the way you expected.
