What Does a Muscular Ectomorph, Mesomorph and Endomorph Look Like?

The burning question I have been asking for many years. There seems to be no actual-person visual representation available apart from some line drawings of how they may look like.

Princess Ganga is here to save your peasant ass, as her own journey on fitness made her do her own research. Back to first person narrative.

When you google what does a muscular ectomorph/mesomorph/endomorph looks like, you would normally get this:



Or this:


Now THIS is what I wanted to know. Fat and muscle distribution on the specific body types.

But I struggled to find a human who would give me an actual real-life example.

Now behold.

Ectomorph:

Ectomorphs are the kind of people you wanna hate. They don't gain weight easily, so these are the fuckers that can pig out and never seem to gain weight. Fuck ectomoprhs. 

A real life example of who possesses this body type? Youtube Fitness Guru and Model Scott Herman.


Notice how small and narrow his shoulders are? And how his shoulders, the sides at his ribs and hips seem to be almost the same measurements? Ectomorphs are characterized by their distinct "rectangle" shape: measurements of shoulders, torso and hips are quite the same. Ectomorphs' lean muscle distribution is all over the body. When Ectomorphs puts on muscle, the pectorals would stand out the most. Scott Herman also has a fine bubble butt, and I may have saved a couple of pictures in my folders. 

Mesomorphs:

Mesomorphs are the kind of body most men covet and most people find attractive. Male Greek sculptures are usually depicted with the mesomorph body type.When a mesomorph puts on muscle, the body type is aesthetically appealing. Broad shoulders with the torso cascading to a V-shape ending in a slim waist ie the infamous "inverted triangle" shape. The Mesomorph is pleasing to look at, but does not do well in strength. Sure, the muscle is beautifully distributed on the upper body, but because the mesomorphs waist is tiny compared with usually twice as big broad shoulders, there can be back problems. I am a mesomoprh and you will also see female versions down below. 

The best example of a mesomorph body, apart from Hritik Roshan, is Indian actor Vidyut Jamwal. Cue drool. 


I admit that I am a slut for this body type. But the body type that makes me cream my knickers off, is...

A muscular endomorph:

An endomorph when gain muscle tend to retain their signature rounded belly: ie the "apple shape". A pair of powerful arms & upper back against a taut belly is to DIE for. These guys are the powerful ones. May not be stereotypically attractive like the mesomorph, but a muscular endomorph is the true powerhouse body. 

Who has this body type? None other than Tom Hardy as Bane in the third Nolan's Batman installments. 


Oh, mama. Oh damn son. Oy....

*clears throat*. 
 This is by far the most beautiful example of a muscular endomorph. We all can thank Tom Hardy again when he retained this body for his MMA movie Warrior. *swwoooonnnnn*. You know when in movies they show the "strongmen" punch the tooth out of someone? A muscular endomorph can actually break your skull. Characterized by their upperback strength, you don't want to be in a chokehold with these guys. 

Now, for the ladies! 

What does a muscular female mesomorph look like? Like Youtube Fitness guru Tiffany Rothe. 

Oh mama, you fine. 

Because a woman has naturally wide hips anyway, a muscular female mesomorph would have this beautiful hourglass figure that'll rock any dress! Yes, female mesomorphs are the coveted hourglass figure. 


What does a muscular ectomorph look like? This athlete right here. 

Her shoulders, torso and waist are more or less the same measurement, giving her the distinct "rectangle" shape as her male counterpart. If she dons a bikini, her body would look "well balanced". 

What does a muscular endomorph look like? Bear in mind, a female endomorph is a "pear" shape while a male endomorphs is an "apple shape". Powerlifter Liane Blyn is the best example available out there.

Notice how she still has some chubbiness. Her arms especially. Endomorphs in general tend to retain their "body softness".

Here she is doing what she does best! Notice how her waist and below is bigger than her shoulders. Endomorph women's defining trait are their ample thighs. 


I hope you enjoyed reading this just as much as I took the time to research about it.
