Advice :: Genetic Make Up

This section will allow you to discover which method of training is best suited for you, based on your genetic make-up. If you are suffering from endless training without results (or have hit a training plateau), then we hope after reading this you will use the principle of body type training to give you more structure and purpose in your training regime. We believe that by adhering to the protocols set out for your body type (phenotype), coupled with a good diet plan and sufficient rest/recuperation period, you will make dramatic improvements to your physique in the quickest possible time.

People are born with inherent body characteristics, some are gender related, (men growing facial hair and women developing breasts are two examples), and some are ethnic characteristics (Orientals typically not being as tall as Caucasians for example). Within these inherent characteristics are yet more genetic differences, which for anyone interested in changing their physical appearance through exercise and diet, are crucially important and are the main reason there is not a perfect way for everyone to train and follow.

Ectomorphic, endomorphic and mesomorphic body types are all very different in their characteristics, the Ectomorph is naturally thin and slight of muscle and can usually eat as much as they want without gaining fat; think of a marathon runner and you have a picture of this body type. Endomorphs are the ones who tend to get fat very easily and struggle to diet. They can be healthy and relatively fit doing a lot of cardiovascular exercise but still never manage to fully attain that toned athletic look. However, one ability they often have is to be able to build muscle reasonably efficiently. It's just sad you can't really see it. Mesomorphs are the lucky ones, they often eat a poor diet and don't really train hard in the gym, but still always look muscular and toned. They build muscle easily and when they diet the fat comes away without too much trouble whilst muscle is preserved. Let it be known that we are not saying that all mesomorphs are lazy junk eaters, they simple have an easier time of it than the rest of us. Body type training is very important to anyone going to a gym (or exercising) in an attempt to improve their body by building muscle, losing fat or both together. Not using the correct approach can slow your progress considerably, you must realise your type and know how to train for that type if any real progress is to be achieved.
