| IMPC Contestant | I scored a 1.58... Then when I read johnsbod's post I was like.... omg Endo-Meso Characteristics -Holds more body fat then a Mesendomorph esp. around the belly -Round Face -Wide hips -Looks heavy and out of shape clothed -Gains lean mass easily -Gains body fat easily -Resistant to loosing both body fat and lean mass -Extremely lipostatic -These individuals are basically a rounder version of the Mesendomorph; often they are power lifters but generally are not as naturally strong as Mesendomorphs, esp. in explosive strength but often rival them in power lifts such as deads and squats -Tend to be shorter, have shorter limbs, which gives excellent mechanical advantage for powerlifts Training Tips -In terms of gaining strength simply lifting heavy and hard -For lean mass gain a variety of rep ranges work well, generally Endo-meso’s have no real trouble gaining mass -For getting lean much cardio is needed along with a very rigid diet, staying lean is the greatest challenge for this body type as strength comes naturally -Tend to naturally flock to deadlifts and squat since they excel at both lifts -Eating very small meals frequently, tend to need to cycle or go l low carb to really make noticeable results in bodyfat Natural Enemies -Ecto-Meso’s often hate the common cocky attitude of Endo-Meso’s as they pile plates onto the deadlifts platform and hoot and holler for ultra heavy low rep sets, commonly insulted with the line “yeah well you may be strong but your still fat”, ironically the Endo-Meso’s hate the Ecto-meso’s cocky attitude as they admire themselves in the mirror and often do curls in the power cages, commonly insulted with the line “yeah you may be ripped but your skinny and I’ll break you over my back” Examples -Male -Most powerlifters That fits me to a freakin' T. Aside from the fat part. I am currently pretty lean, the most suprising thing is the fact that it said "Looks heavy and out of shaped clothed". I have a slightly big chest and shoulders and big hips, and unless I wear a hoodie or a real tight shirt, I look like a fat ass. I've gotten comments (after taking my shirt off like) "(This in the locker room between 2 kids about me after gym swimming class)Did you see that? He looks like a giant. He doesn't look like that at all with a shirt on" That made me laugh pretty hard.... and feel kinda sad. It's like I gotta walk around w/o a t-shirt all the time to get noticed at all :rmad:
