I keep hearing this:

look at how you looked during your high school years, and that is your bodytype.

Go by what above dude says and you should be fine.

Of course no one is just ONE bodytype, but more of one than the other. I'd say I am an ecto-endo, but mostly ecto.

Yeah, thats why i said find which traits you MOSTLY fit. Because your gunna have some traits of one , and some traits of another. Bascially its best for him to post a pic and let others decide!
