What kind of bodytype are you?

if u dunno what it is read here: http://bodybuildingpro.com/bodytypeinformation.html

im an endomorph and i sometimes wonder which is the best for footbag. because footbag is an endurance-sport the ecto+meso have huge advantages. i think the majority is ecto - from what i can see on videos and on the events - which is definetely good for footbag. the movements look chilled and effortless. as an endo i feel like i have to "work more" to get my leg around the bag, which drains more energy. i think this is the worst type for footbag. of course, it depends on how your body is trained, but you will always have a lack of agility. as for the (dexing)speed, the meso has good advantages... i think its the best footbag-allrounder (like vasek).

edit: vasek is ecto with meso qualities

what are you and how do you think it effects your game?

i think im an endomorph, but the more i play footbag the more i think im turning into an ectomorph

i think that everyone could be great at footbag, but muscles on a sturdy frame seem the best to me

I think these terms are just a cop out most of the time. People complain that they are ecto so therefore can not gain muscle and weight while others say its not their fault that they are fat because they are meso. I think it boils down to metabolism, your diet, and if you work out. The reason most footbaggers appear to be ecto is the amount of cardio and shitty diet they have. Stop playing footbag all the time and eat more food and a lot of the people who appear to be ecto would turn out to be a meso. Just my 2 cents.

Thick does not mean fat.

I don't see why this matters...

But I think I'm an "ecto" but I have a little bit of muscle.

Or maybe I'm just trying to make myself feel good. IUNNO!

i'm thin, but muscular cuz i'm a lifeguard... but i can't gain much mass cuz of my metabolism, i do alot of excersize/sports... i'd like to consider myself mostly ectomorph but have some mesomorph qualities

I'd say I'm inbetween meso and ecto. I'm not completly ripped, but I do have a fair amount of muscle and its easy for me to put on.

Does anyone know how much ales zelinka(spelling?) weighs?

I'd have to say I am inbetween meso and endo. I am mostly muscle but have some chunk here and there. I'd love to be all meso sooner or later...in a girly kind of way.

* Hard Body
* Hourglass Shaped (Female)
* Rectangular Shaped (Male)
* Mature Muscle Mass
* Muscular Body
* Excellent Posture
* Gains Muscle Easily
* Gains Fat More Easily Than Ectomorphs
* Thick Skin

However, the mesomorph tans well...so I don't think you fit the bill, Sam

I'm not objective enough to classify myself.

you cannot turn from one type into the other, cuz its genetically given. but, you can get the maximum out of your type by workouts. (footbag, bodybuilding, running.... ) if u loose wheight as an endo cuz of footbag, u will still be an endo but a trained one. a good example is him: http://www.johnstonefitness.com

but ye, noone is 100% one type. Were all mixed... if ur lucky, you have the agility of an ecto, and the fitness of a meso, thats what i think is good for footbag. of course, thinking too much about it isnt worth. u are what u are and like with your crank, u gotta make the best out of and be happy with whats given.

footbag is fun.

[i have no idea when this pic was created, but i guess it was before mcdonalds, like when we had to go hunting and such

this is a more realistic one:

before footbag i looked like the one in the middle, now its more like the guy on the left

I'm an ectomorph, I agree with Jon when he says body types are kind of a cop out. It really does boil down to metabolism, I was born premature and am trying to gain weight it just doesnt work for me unless I honestly just sit and do nothing and that isnt going to happen, when starting my attempt at gaining weight I read a lot of things online suggesting specific workout routines for my body type. Simply put it told me more weight, less reps and no cardio, absolutely no cardio because I'd be burning off all the weight I just tried so hard to gain, well we all know how much cardio shredding is so be happy with the body type you are and keep shredding its atleast keeping you in shape.
Eat your fruits and vegetables
Vitamins are vital too

I'm an ectomorph, and was obviously so years ago.

With the help of the gym and consistency, along with 300g of protein a day, I'm more ecto-meso now. My metabolism still burns quick however, so if I don't eat enough of lift, I don't get fat, but skinny.

What kind of bodytype are you?

I´m an..
