How To Train According To Your Body Type: Ectomorphs,Mesomorphs And Endomorphs | WORKOUT VLOG: LEGS!
Hey guys,in this video I talk about how to train according to your body type and I also show you my leg workout from today so there"s video material for everyone,enjoy!

Video content:
First of all,there are 3 basic somatotypes:Ectomorphs,mesomorphs and endomorphs.We"re going to go throgh charachteristics of each body type so you can determine under which catefory do you fall in.

Ectomorphs:They are on the skinnier side,they have a very fast metabolism,usually tall,have a very hard time gaining weight when it comes to both fat and muscle mass.They have a delicate bone structure,skinnier wrists,smaller shoulders,the list goes on...

Mesomorphs:Their body is very sporty and athletically built.A heavy body but a lean figure,they have a bigger bone structure and they usually don"t struggle with neither gaining weight or losing it.

Endomorphs:They tipically have rounder,heavire bodies,slow metabolism which makes them harder to lose weight and easier to gain it.

Now that you"ve determined your body type,either being an ectomorph,mesomorph or an endomorph or something between either the first or the last two.

The truth is that it doesn;t matter what body type you have.The most optimal rep range for muscle gaining is between 6-12 reps no matter if you"re a bit skinnier or overweight.We had to go through this because there are a lot of myths around that for example,lower reps get you bulkier and higher reps somehow define your muscles so that"s why you should train according to your body type,but this is completely not true!It all comes down to calorie intake.If you want to gain weight you"re going to be in a caloric surplus and if you want to lose weight you have to be in a caloric deficit,that"s it!

Leg workout:
Exercise #1:Squats.I did 2 warm up sets and then I did 4 working sets of 6-10 reps.I wasn"t feeling the strongest today but I had to push through it.I like going slightly bellow parallel or at least parallel.I don"t like going ass to grass because it puts a lot of stress on my lower back but if you can pull it off by all means go ass to grass :D

Exercise #2:Sumo deadlifts,I did 4 sets of 10/8/8/6 reps.

Exercise #3:Unilateral leg press.I did this exercise one leg at a time to switch it up a little bit.4 sets of 8-12 reps.Don"t think that you"ll be doing 50% of your regular leg press weight,it"s much harder!

Exercise #4:Bench step-ups.I did 3 sets of 10 reps.Just a little tip guys,if you want to mix up your leg routine from time to time,I suggest doing some of the exercises unilateral like I did with the leg press.

Exercise #5:Machine hamstring curls.Great isolation exercise for your hamstrings,I did 3 sets of 10-12 reps.

Exercise #6:Seated calf raises.This is the final exercise of todays leg workout.I did 5 sets of 15/12/10/8/8 reps.
