The Ectomorph, the Mesomorph, the Endomorph, or a Combination?
We have known for quite some time now in bodybuilding that different body types respond differently to both training and nutrition.

In this article, the history of body types and some interesting pieces of information to help you identify them will be mentioned.

William Sheldon (1898-1977) was an American psychologist who spent his life observing all the variety of human bodies. He taught at several universities and spent his career doing valuable research.
