What's My Body Type?

Answer 4 quick questions about your frame, metabolism and how you tend to gain or hold weight, and we'll point you to the somatotype category you lean toward.

Ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph are popular, informal categories describing general frame and how a body tends to respond to training and diet -- not a medical classification, a fitness level, or a fixed destiny. Most real people are a blend, leaning toward one category more than the others.

This quiz asks about your frame, how easily you gain muscle or fat, and your general build, then points you to the category you lean toward -- along with training and nutrition angles that tend to fit that lean, and the calculators to plan around it.
