this was the cutting edge of exercise science in 2007

>>76406973 (OP)
there's still retards out there who believe in this

>DYEL, normal/athletic, fat

>>76406976
yer a fat guy aint ya

>>76406973 (OP)
there's really nothing wrong with classifying body shapes like that as long you dont try to assign some deeper scientific meaning.

No it wasn't

>>76407202
For what purpose would it ever be done in the first place, then?

>>76406973 (OP)
>>76406974
it's based on human families subgroups- categories like anglo-saxon/germanic versus nordic bodytypes, or old britons/welsh/irish with neaderthal mixtures of various degrees versus races with more dominant cromagnon man aspects- like most anglos.

the reason this grouping system is currently out of favor is that it might cause you to notice... something. it's the same reason that phrenology fell out of favor. it might also discourage you from race-mixing with genetic outliers like the based black man and the chinaman. you aren't allowed to know about the different subspecies within the human organism because das racsis.

>>76406973 (OP)
I still don't know which one I am supposed to be.

>>76406973 (OP)
I remember learning this in school and I because of that I didn't bother exercising because apparently I was born to be fat

>>76407244
That's obsolete pseudo-science as well that unironically considers arabs and jews as white, you coping DYEL
Most whites share the same proportions, it varies for blacks and most asians share the same proportions within their own broad east asian group
When it comes to mediteranean bassin it's a case to case thing which is why generalizing an obsolete cope like this to entire ethnicities falls flat

>>76407333
We all know that feel.
>me at 47 and 44 kg

I'm 170 cm and what the WHO classifies as VERY SEVERELY UNDERWEIGHT, but I don't look the part.
It's always entertaining when medical professionals ask me my weight. There's a long pause where they contemplate if I'm retarded or playing a prank. One nurse just wrote 60 kg.

ITT retards pretending to be scientists.

>I'm too stupid to understand it, so it doesn't exist

>>76407552
lol

>>76407552
about to die from malnutrition and still no abs

>>76407242
To know which muscle groups you should focus on for the V-taper. Mesomorph can do whatever, Endomorph needs to avoid obliques, and Ectomorph needs to roid.

>>76406973 (OP)
I was in university for sports science in 2006 and the curriculum said this was fake.

>>76407586
>Me for every consecutive day of eating <1400 kcal.
Makes further weight loss sketchy. My TDEE is ~1585, and even a minor deficit puts me at risk of medical compromise.

>>76406976
/t. hread

>>76407586
Cutbros...

>>76407589
The contention is that in real life these categories do not exist
>if youre an endomorph you need to avoid obliques
there is no such thing as an endomorph and if you say
>if you have the body composition of an endomorph youre an endomorph
this isnt the point of ops pic, the point is that there are 3 categories and you must be in one of those(witch some exceptions ofc)which is just made up nonesense

>>76407921
bone structure doesn't exist?
let me guess, you're a coping ectomorph lul

>>76407544
Indians depend on tribe too , look at jatt vs tamil vs bihari

>>76407939
What makes you think i want to willingly look at/into indians

when was this disproved anyway
seems people just slowly stopped talking about it and it faded away

>>76407951
As fads tend to do.

>>76407941
No way the jew slave race is talking go die for israel already

>>76407768
wait wait wait wtf is this. you the 44kg guy? how fat were you and how fat are you now bf %

>>76407965
>jew slave race
But I'm not indian

>>76407979
Yeah. Highest weight I've ever been is low 50's.

No idea about bf%. BIA says ~12 and ~9% in those two pictures, but I eyeball it to high-to-mid 20s.

Got a DEXA last year hoping it would give me my bf%. I didn't get my bf%... but I was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis.

>>76408009
I keep reading online that DEXA sucks nigg dick. I've been using tape measures on fitmatic and it passes the eye test as well. You should try that.
Also wtf is your goal anon.
You're already skinny why don't you start slowly upping calories and working out cus i don't think what you're doing is healthy

>>76408009
good lord what the fuck are you doing to yourself

>>76408065
>>76408073
I developed anorexia from being pathologically skinnyfat. Once I'm <40 kg, maybe I'll look slim

>>76408198
Bro, you think starving down to 40 kilos will make you look ‘slim’ but the only thing you’ll look like is a walking corpse. No one finds a dude attractive who looks one step away from a hospital bed. You’re wrecking your body for some TikTok-filter fantasy that’s gonna leave you broken, sick, and pissed at yourself for ever thinking this was worth it. You’re not chasing ‘slim’, you’re chasing death.

>>76407544
Are you implying that arabs and jews aren't part of the west euasian genetic group? Like it or not, europeans, arabs and jews are all extremely closely related

>>76408009
you know if you had some muscle you could cut bodyfat more without risking death
and you would look way skinnier even being at a little higher weight

>>76407928
Do they exist in these 3 distinct categories?
>ib4 no
then your whole argument is retarded and proven false
>ib4 yes
proof that they do

>>76408225
Non-akshenazi jews and arabs are afro-asiatic, not "west eurasian". Even the turks and caucasians who could be classified as "west eurasian" are still not white
There's no broad west eurasiatic genetic group, even southernmost europeans are drastically different from northern and eastern europeans

>>76407237
Pls no bully.

>>76407202
Why not assign deeper meaning? You guys should read the original psychological book it came from. It's hilarious. It's literal virgin vs chad with ecto/ meso descriptions.

>>76406973 (OP)
>>76406974
wait, there are still retards who unironically dont believe in this?
how do you explain clavicle width and small wrists? i can deadlift 6pl8 yet my wrists are still 6 inches.

its so obvious that our bodies are pre-programmed and you cant change your bone structure and frame. of course being "endomorph" doesnt mean that you cant be under 20% bodyfat. doesnt mean that body types dont exist, because they obviously do.

>>76407244
>>76408496
You are both retards.

>>76408496
Yes everyone has different bonestructures and frame
But here's the part that no one believes, its not categorizable into just 3 options
There is an infinite amount of variations within these categories and outside these categories
It's redundant and the worst thing is that categorizing itself offers no benefit

>>76406973 (OP)
What is the rectangle supposed to outline? Because the points are in different places relative to the body for each "type."

>>76408198
You do look like shit but losing weight is not the answer. Do a lean bulk and you will look much better and leaner with some muscle on.

>>76408508
>>76408823
okay but thats like denying the 3 categories of height, tall / mid / short or saying they are pointless or they dont exist. It's a scale, it's a range, you can be anything between. You don't have to be EXACTLY one or the other. Yes there are people that are in between ecto and meso. Sure. Okay? There are people who are not short but they arent tall either. They are maybe a little above average.

>>76409725
Those things exist as identifiers, and we have that already
We have tall, short, fat and slim, we have muscular, average etc
There is no point for these categorization based on frame to exist because literally no one cares because more meaningful categorizations exist already

>>76406973 (OP)
Doesn't even really apply. I thought I was an "ectomorph" for a decade lifting and making basically no gains.

Turns out i had fallen for retard advice of "if you eat healthy big meals you'll get all the protein you need". About 2 years ago started having 60g additional in shakes and immediately began putting on muscle like never before.

>>76407242
understanding your body shape is only useful for fashion, this is just kibbe repackaged for gymcels who want the knowledge of fashion without feeling like a fag about it plus some bullshit about how the muscles are involved

Finally, saving that site was not in vain.
Here's some autism info on the subject in case anyone is interested:
