Male Body Shape

MEN'S BODY SHAPES
1.ECTOMORPHS
-Characterized as tall and slim/thin.
-Rangy, thinner people who tend to be gangly in shape –
You are naturally talented at endurance exercise, such as long-distance running.-While this is your strength; it prevents you from making a change towards a more balanced body shape. -You need to avoid “constant pace” activities that last longer than 20 minutes and replace this with shorter “interval training”, perhaps 90 seconds' high-intensity work, with 90 seconds' recovery in between.
Style Tips
-Avoid too many patterns: There's nothing wrong with a tropical shirt; however, if you wear a patterned top, then the rest of your outfit should be plain and simple.
-Buy in big and tall men's stores: You need pants and shirt sleeves in the right lengths. Shopping in a regular men's department that caters to men of average height will probably yield some disappointing finds.
-Dark colors are slimming: If you're on the heavy side, black is universally slimming, as most women already know. Look into the colors like the navy blue, charcoal grey and chocolate brown as other choices outside of basic black.
2.ENDOMORPHS
-Generously rounded or 'stout'-rounded and with a generous waist size.
-Heavy, stocky types who put on weight easily.
You are a physically strong person and have always been naturally drawn towards types of activities that use this ability.Choose lighter weights that will develop your muscular strength endurance and do 18 or more repetitions per set.

 Style Tips
-Wear pants that fit around your waist, not under it: For many men, gaining weight in the stomach is met with denial. They refuse to buy slacks in a larger waist size, so their bellies hang over the waistband of their pants. It's best to buy slacks that fit around your natural waist.
-Vertical details help: Vertical stripes help to bring the eyes up and down, which give the illusion of thinness. Stripes should be fine, not overly wide, for the best look.


3.MESOMORPHS
-Athletic and muscular-
-Medium-build types with an athletically shaped body
You are one of the lucky ones from an exercise perspective, if you are a mesomorph. You tend to be athletically built, have a medium frame, develop muscle easily and have an ability to lose weight easily, too. Weight training should be a combination of light and heavy loading. Provided the variety level in your programmed is high you will maintain your shape very easily.
 Style Tips
-Avoid tight slacks: If your thighs are very muscular, you may have trouble finding pants that are roomy in this area, but you should shop around until you find a brand or designer that makes slacks that aren't tight on your legs.
-Buy the right size: Surprisingly, some men seem to prefer tight-fitting clothes or are just stuck on wearing a certain size, even if it's too small. You should be able to bend in your jackets without straining the seams.
