Your score is 2.

Your body is closest to a Mesomorph. You have a naturally fit body but to maintain it or improve it you should exercise and diet correctly for your type. Strength training can be done more often and for longer sessions then would be good for an Ectomorph, but you must still be carefull not to overdo it. You should train with moderate to heavy weighs and at a moderate pace, not resting too long between sets. You will find you gain muscle quite easy (some women and even men might not want to get too bulky, but this won't happen suddenly. When you are happy with your muscle size simply train to maintain it). Stick to a good healthy diet to keep you lean and muscular, and watch for any slow creeping fat gains. Engage in and enjoy aerobic activities, sports, etc. but do not overdo.

Tho the body shape is off, it sounds pretty right for me in terms of maintenance.

Your score is 1.58. Your body is between an EndoMorph and a Mesomorph. Choose a middle approach between the follow recommendations.
Endomorph: An Endomorph's biggest concern should be the losing of fat and adopting a lifestyle that keeps it off. Strength training should be done to get a better muscle to fat ratio and therefore improve metabolism. Use moderate weights at a fast training pace (very little rest between sets and exercises). You should lower your calorie intake (but not try to starve yourself) and should eat frequent but small meals. Sugars, sweets and junk food should be eliminated from your diet. Engage daily in some activity like brisk walking, biking, etc., and try to increase the amount of time you spend each week.

1.83 close to mesomorph

[uh oh]

What do "Large, medium, and small" bone structure mean?

Is it quite literal, as in: Large=tall, med=avg, small (or frail) = short?


I clicked on the med setting,
I came out to be a 2

What he just said, same score and all

[Priest B. Pimpish]

Your score is 2.75.

Your body is closest to an Ectomorph. You should concentrate on gaining weight in the form of good lean muscle tissue (some women that are too thin may also want to put on a little fat to look more feminine). Weight training should be done but not too often or for too long each session. Weight should be fairly heavy and workout pace slower (longer rest periods between sets). Diet should be high in calories (good quality food not junk) and you should eat more then you're used to and often. Aerobic and other activities (sports, dancing, etc.) should be kept to a minimum, at least until you are happy with your weight and looks.
Since it is a bodybuilding site, I will ignore the advice.

Co-sign, pretty interesting stuff.

[Foot Liquor]

my score was 1.33, fell between and endomorph and mesomorph.

Same score here. No big surprise, I've always known I'm an endo-meso.

When I was fit and active and on a disciplined weightlifting regimen, I loved my body type. I packed on size and strength pretty easily back in my high school days and it looked pretty good on my wide body frame. Wasn't cut by any means but that's never been much of a concern to me.

But once I get sedentary and lazy...man, it's just a mess. Making strides recently though to get back in shape...
