Hey, I have been real interested in determining my somatype lately so I can go about my training / nutrition the best way possible to gain some muscle with as little fat as possible (gotta keep the weight I gain mostly muscle due to wrestling season, ect)
Anyways, I did that survey that is on this site and I just have a few questions?
I’m 15, 5’ 11" and 125ish lbs, haven’t weighed myself in a week or so. I USED to be 156lbs at 5’ 9" but after a sh*tty year, depression, bad nutrition, lost a lot of weight.
Now, I wasn’t skinny at the 156, nor was I fat. I have been “fat” in the past, when I was 10-12 year old age, then kinda sprouted up. I haven’t been naturally skinny either ever in my life, except when I was small, like all kids.
How would you determine if you have a fast metabolism or not? I seem to put weight on fairly easily, but I also can tkae it off fairly easily (experienced this during the yo-yo this year of weight gain and loss).
The survey this site offers came back as saying I was mesomorph, but are there any other sites that are fairly accurate you find that also can help me determine my somatype?
Some quick facts about me that I found popped up on a lot of sites that help you determine it:
I have freakishly long arms, neck, pretty small torso.
Long neck.
My limbs are extremely thing while my torso seems to carry all my weight (chest and abs), such as you can see every bone in my arm, leg, ect.
If a fast metabolism means getting hungry after just being full, then I guess I have a fast metabolism, BUT if I eat more calories than I burn, unlike a true ectomorph, I gain weight easily.
Any help?
Thanks guys, this is just to help me determine which way I should go about gaining some muscle, ect.
