Genetics and "Ease" of Staying Lean

[holyrevival]

@lovelivelaugh The final picture of Joe I don’t believe he’s Natty and able to maintain that especially the vascularitt. He’ll probably have to juice eventually to stay in that shape

@lovelivelaugh I beleive it's just the body types, people who find it easy to stay lean are catagorised as ectomorph, they are mostly tall, skinny and lean. They find it harder to put on weight and commonly have high metobolisms.

Then there's endomorphs, these are people who typically find it easier to put on weight, to stay in shape they have to watch what they eat and train cardio more often. They don't find it as hard as ectomorphs to put on muscle.

Finally there is mesomorph, people built for putting on muscle. Some mesomorphs don't even have to pick up weights to put on muscle, they just build it really easily, when they do end up picking up weights, they'll look bulky and good.

You can be a mixture of these body types, typically you'll know which one you fit into. As for the people you linked that stay lean all the time, I'd say they must be ectomorphs, or maybe ectomorphs mixed with mesomorphs.

@mamalisa03 Local people don't believe in somatotypes. They believe that dudes who are big, strong and fat since childhood and the lean guys with thin wrists are in the same boat. They claim that those big boys ate a lot and trained hard back then lol

@lovelivelaugh I'm one of those people who cannot get passed lean regardless of what i do, i can eat shit, do nothing but i still have my lean frame with great muscle definition lol, then again if i hardly eat and stay active i also don't lose any, it's like my body is programming it's metabolism depending on what i do to remain in a specific spot, it's actually a blessing, i have no illness of any kind, i consider my self lucky, in later years i have started to care more for my self, i cannot assume I'll get away with it into old age.
