Understanding Body Type | Can Aid Men in Developing a Muscular Body Share

As a man, have you ever felt ripped off when it came to your body type? Ever looked at someone else and though, "Why is he so lucky to have a natural body type like that?" Well I can say that I have, and the same is true for most men even if they're too proud to admit it. Well, some things can't be changed, but the trick is to understand your body type and find out how to properly work with it to maximize your results.

You may not be happy with the body type that you have been born with, but one thing is for sure you don't have to settle if you don't want to.

There are three basic body types for men, and while they are certainly not cookie cutter molds, chances are you will somewhat fall into one of these categories.

The three basic body types are Ectomorph (very skinny), Endomorph (naturally large) and Mesomorph (these are the guys that you are jealous of). Your genes determine how you are born and what general category you fall into, but they don't necessarily determine where you will finish.

Ectomorph body type:

You know you fall into this category if you really have trouble gaining any weight. You have likely been very skinny for your whole life. Just gaining a pound or two is very difficult for you. Often, it doesn't matter if you eat doughnuts and fried chicken all day, you simply won't gain weight.

Believe it or not, it can be harder to combat this than overweight. The problem is there is a lot of information and products out there to help combat obesity, but there is very little out there to help combat skinny genes. Just to be clear, the answer isn't eating doughnuts and fried chicken; it is paying attention to your diet in a healthy manner and implementing some techniques for changing your metabolism so you keep your gains.

Weight training is a critical part of your path to success. But you do not just want to go to the gym and work for hours, this will lead to overtraining and will actually stunt any muscular growth that you thought you would see. And cardio is a killer to this body type, so there is no need to spend hours on a treadmill. Instead, you need to perform small bouts of effective cardio, along with intense short bouts of strength training, and introduce a good deal of protein into your daily eating regimen.

Endomorph body type:

The opposite of ectomorph is endomorph. You know that you fall into this category if you are overweight or even obese. If you were to pick up a doughnut or piece of fried chicken, you would probably feel yourself getting heavier. This can be a difficult body type to have because there is so much attention drawn to overweight people in today's society.

To combat this body type, you literally have to change your metabolism. This sounds impossible, but it is not at all.

To change your metabolism, you have to first change your diet. You need to include a lot of bright colored vegetables and fruit and also a bunch of lean proteins. Don't fall for any kind of scam diet plan that leaves you eating only protein. These diets will actually leave you in worse shape after you see some results. They are called crash diets for a reason; because you will crash and burn after you're gone through them.

Second, you need to focus on muscle building cardio and strength training. For many people it seems counter-intuitive, but to truly change your metabolism you need to pack on some muscle.

This works in a couple ways: by packing on muscle using intense workouts you burn calories and build good base. Also the muscle you build act like a "furnace," burning calories and fat off your body while it is at rest.

So by simply converting 5 lbs of fat into muscle, you literally burn an extra 200-300 calories a day, You can do the math to see that by doing this a couple times a week you will be well on your way to your dream body.

Mesomorph body type:

The Mesomorph body type is really the luckiest of the group. This is the body type of many pro athletes and fitness models. Your body will burn fat off and build muscle like those with the other types dream of.

I don't want to spend a lot of time on this, because if you are interested in building a great body you probably already have. I will just give one word of caution. As it is possible to "change" your body type from one of the others, it is also possible to change to one of the others. If you don't use the gifts that the gene pool has given you, you may be slowly changing your metabolism in the wrong direction.

Ectomorph, Endomorph or Mesomorph

While it is possible to have a great body no matter where you start, you need to understand that there are varying degrees of these particular body types. But this information identifies some of the basics of how to combat each general kind of body. Your metabolism level does not dictate where you will end up—you do!

The signs it's over

You thought he was the love of your life - but recently things haven't been quite so fairytale romance. Is it a comfortable couple rut or time to move on?

Here's the 10 signs that your relationship has run its course.

You can't bear him to touch you.
We're not talking about feigning a headache when you're not in the mood, or those sex lulls that every couple has. If the thought of him even holding your hand makes your skin crawl, it's almost impossible to recover from. If everything else is still going well, it's time to take an urgent look at why this physical intimacy repulses you – and consider counselling. Otherwise, you need to have that talk...

You leave notes on the fridge instead of sitting down to chat.
We all lead hectic lives – but if you're talking through magnetic letters (or texts, emails and post-it notes), that's not a relationship, that's a house-share. Chances are you're both busy leading your own lives already without space for the other. Best case scenario? Tell him you want to spend more time together. And do it face to face.

He calls you someone else's name.
In bed, over toast, wherever. Unless there's a seriously good excuse (and amnesia is the only one that springs to mind), he's already moved on. Whether it's an ex, the new colleague he's been babbling about or Megan Fox, if he's not thinking about you, why waste your time?

His Facebook status says 'It's complicated'.
Take the hint...

He irritates you constantly.
Remember all those cute little habits he had when you first got together? The ones which now make you grit your teeth? No, he hasn't got more annoying - your love blindness has lifted and you're seeing his adorable quirks the way the rest of us do.

You don't want to arrange a holiday. For next month.
Unless it's a money issue, there's a reason you don't want to commit to any future plans – you're not expecting to be there. In which case, why wait?

You're always sneering at him – or vice versa.
Every relationship needs to be able to make fun of itself from time to time, but if you're putting him down, it's only going to get worse. Contempt is one of the most corrosive emotions, and why would you stay with someone you don't respect?

When you go out, it's only to the cinema.
Who doesn't love a good film? But every date? You might as well say, I don't want to talk to you any more – so there's nothing else to say except byeeee.

He's not your honeybun any more.
OK, so pet names make the rest of us feel nauseous, but whether you're out and proud about your cuddle-bear or a secret fan of your lovemuffin, once these terms of endearment start to disappear, it can be a sign the feelings have slipped away too.

He didn't call to say he wasn't coming home last night – and you weren't bothered.
Seriously? No images of him wrapped around another woman, or lying injured in a ditch? There's nothing wrong with a night out with the lads, but if you're not fussed when he fails to reappear without a word, why are you even together?

If the kind of women who take notice of this rubbish had any brains, they would realise tha these articles are mostly aimed at one thing and that is what the mainstream media, women's magazines, agony aunts, 'debate' shows, more recently the internet and the man bashing disease of feminism has generally sought for over forty years.....destroy relationships between men and women, by persauding women with articles to believe that their relationship is doomed.

Any excuse to cheat or find another man for sex is what these ****-stirring quizes amount to. This is not advice, it's sly malicious stirring. Luckily for me, as I recognise that the vast majority of women hate men, period, having observed the man hating filth women are addicted to via the advertising industry, dramas, 'comedies' and TV in general, plus all the above mentioned things, I would never have a relationship with a Britidsh woman that consisted of anything more than, you have your place, I'll have mine, you do what you want and I'll do what (and who) I want. Want more? Then get lost and find it elswhere.

scuse me but why is it always men that get the blame.been in a relationship with a lass who i happened to love very much and we even had plans to get engaged . i was fine with the parents as well but for some reason the sister hated me and as the relationship progressed the more difficult her sister became, to the point where she was making it difficult for the two of us two see each other.any way my girlfriend said to me im going to be going on holiday with my sister and my comment was i bet you go away and i never hear from you again and low and behold that is what has happened .
I loved her dearly i did everythng i could for her ,but in the end her sister broke up the relationship. so ladies please, less of the men bashing.

Relationships are never simple nor are they ever wholly one-sided. Perhaps, I said perhaps, women have a feeling that they should conform to "an ideal image of femininity" (This is debatable!!) And men are, traditionally the "rovers". In, not a perfect relationship but an living ordidinary relationship what the man and the women learn if they are patient and "canny" is that they both need to be prepared to change. My experience is that when both parties agree to change and grow each receives something back that is vastly bigger and better than what was given or reading the above surreneded with a grudge! If you think you are so wonderful that you won't ever change then goodbye you are obviously on the planet called Never-neverland!"!!

I did think i met my soul mate for life after 2 marriages and divorces, he was wonderful, didnt smoke , drink, swear! or so he told me, 2/3 months down the line i found out he did all 3, such a liar, apart from all his debts he also kept quiet until 3 months after he moved in with me. I knew something was not right, he never came near me, wasnt same man i met,I told him to move in back bedroom, as with his filthy habits of spitting everywhere and up and down all night smoking, he was driving me mad, he said he wanted to move out! as he didnt want the bailiffs knocking at my door for him, because he owed money to every body.things slowly went downhill even quicker after that, he moved out in january because i told him i wanted him out, he wasnt using me or my home anymore. and reading this, it is just so the same as what happened. I GOT SHUT OF HIM WELL B4 , THINGS GOT ANY WORSE.

EXCLUSIVE: Renewed fears over Cheryl Cole's health after friend Derek Hough reveals she has 'fluid on the lungs'

There were renewed fears over the health of Cheryl Cole last night after it emerged the stricken star has 'fluid on her lungs.'

The pop singer and X Factor, who is being treated for malaria, has been in hospital since Sunday evening.

The update on her condition was inadvertently revealed by her close friend, dancer Derek Hough.

Growing concern: Cheryl Cole's friend Derek Hough was overheard on the phone saying the Girls Aloud star is suffering 'fluid on the lungs'

The American - who travelled with her to Tanzania, where she picked up the potentially fatal tropical disease - has been visiting Mrs Cole regularly since she fell ill.

On Wednesday, he was overheard discussing Mrs Cole's plight by another hospital visitor, who said afterwards: ‘I’ve seen Cheryl’s mum and Derek in there. They stayed overnight last night. I overheard Derek on his phone saying she's got fluid on her lungs.’

Last night, a close friend of the singer's told the Mail: 'She has got fluid on the lungs. She's not good, no. She's still in intensive care so it doesn't look like she'll be out of hospital for a while yet.'

Friends of the singer admit they now 'don't know' when she will be out of hospital.

Dancing On The Stars winner Hough is said to be feeling incredibly 'guilty' because it was his idea for the pair to go to Tanzania, where she is believed she was bitten by the infected mosquito.

His stepfather Aaron Nelson, 54, told The Sun: 'Derek feels guilty. He is very distressed about all this.

'He feels he has done this to her. He rang his mom yesterday in tears.

'Derek feels it's all his fault. He organised the holiday as something wonderful. For it to end up like this is terrible. He feels dreadful.'

Mrs Cole, 27, was transferred to the University College Hospital from the private Cromwell Hospital earlier in the week and admitted to its specialist tropical diseases unit.

And one expert yesterday said that, following the revelation, it is likely Mrs Cole may have the most serious form of malaria.

Consultant of infectious diseases at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, Dr Martin Wiselka said fluid in the lungs suggest Mrs Cole is suffering falciparum malaria.

That is the most deadly strain of the virus and can cause blood to leak into the lungs of sufferers.

Dr Wiselka added that while Mrs Cole has probably discovered the illness in time and so avoided damage to her kidney and liver. However, he said it is unlikely she will be able to return to work for a number of weeks.

This makes it extremely unlikely she will be able to return as an X Factor judge in time for the boot camp section of the ITV talent show which takes place later this month.

Her performances at the V Festival in Chelmsford and Stafford on August 21 and 22 are also likely to be under threat. The timing of the release of her second album - which had been due in October - is also likely to be under pressure.

Dr Wiselka said: ‘The chances are that she has got falciparum malaria which is the most serious form and most commonly found in Africa.

‘The malaria travels around the body in the bloodstream and can affect other organs like the kidneys and liver. In severe cases it can lead to organ failure and this is how people die from malaria.

‘The more parasites you have in your blood the more serious it is. If it is caught early then there are less parasites and I would have thought I has been caught reasonably early in her case.

‘She will be in hospital until the malaria and the complications clear up, which is usually a matter of days, but it will take weeks to recover.

‘There has been talk of her taking a week off but I think that is way too optimistic.’

The consultant added that the fluid in Mrs Cole's lungs was likely to be blood from leaking vessels damaged by the disease.

He said she may need oxygen administered as well as drugs already being used to fight the infection.

He continued: ‘Malaria affects the blood cells, they get damaged and they damage the blood vessels.

‘If your blood vessels leak then you can end up with blood in your lungs. Also sometimes doctors give fluid and it ends up in the wrong place.

'She might have simple treatment like restricting the amounts of fluids she is getting or she might be given drugs.

‘To deal with the fluids she might be given oxygen because the fluid stops oxygen getting into the bloodstream so you need some help.’

Hough, 25, was by her bedside in her private room yesterday with her concerned mother Joan Callaghan.

The Daily Mail has also learned her estranged husband Ashley Cole has also been in contact.

Despite his wild antics with a string of bikini-clad girls while on holiday in Los Angeles, sources close to the Chelsea and England footballer have revealed he has been telephoning the UK regularly to check on her condition.

A source said: ‘Ashley is very concerned for Cheryl', but last night, a spokesman for Mrs Cole declined to comment.

* Meanwhile, London Mayor Boris Johnson also told of his concern for Mrs Cole. Speaking on a visit to the West London Rape Crisis Centre, Mr Johnson told the Mail: ‘I’m very concerned about that poor girl Cheryl Cole.’

_____________
This is a joke, right? He cheated on her. She can be with any man she chooses - what you've written is advice from depressed and unhappy people. Get some self-respect, mate!
Why in the world would she want to get back together with a man who could care less about her? THAT is the definition of loneliness. Just because she's single doesn't mean she's lonely. HE looks lonelier than her - he's spreading himself pretty thin with random girls he's spending a lot of time with. Looks pretty lonely to me because he can't be alone with his own thoughts or feelings.
I hope she gets better and I hope the NHS can use this to get the message out - yet again! - to take ALL the malaria tablets when you go on holiday and to watch for symptoms even months later.

The women is quite ill and yet here is everyone having some form of slanging match between Cole's Fan's and Minogue's fan's. To be honest, I'm not a Cheryl fan, but in fairness, she is sick, wish her well!! I I probably dislike her because I am jealous, but then again, I love Dannii Minogue, and I'm jealous of her too.
Either way, wish the both of them well and get on with your lives.

They're dannii minogue fans, apparently Cheryl is taking all the attention off the Aussie - how dare she?

By the way, anyone read the messages on the article about the birth? I haven't been able to keep food down since I read them.

People who are sending get well messages to Tweedy are being ridiculed and get called sad because they don't know her, yet its ok to send sugary, saccharine tosh to Miss Perfect, someone who THEY'VE never met either.
- Jules


Nice to see me receive some green arrows for a change - I'm not the only one who finds the double standards so unfair when it comes to the comparisons between Tweedy and Minogue.

If the anti-Tweedy writers feel that the story about her illness is over-dramatised, I feel exactly the same way about Minogue's so-called 'emergency' birth. First time births can be unpredictable, mother and son are just fine - no need for the needlessly exaggerated comments that make out that Minogue is some kind of heroine.

I hope she gets better. Malaria is a dreadful disease, a killer. She's privaleged but I still hope she pulls through, because no-one deserves it in my opinion. She's also had enough on her plate. The best she can do is put career aside. You've nothing if not your health.

The fact the husband doesn't realise what a horrible disease it is enough to return from LA I should think would ensure they never get back together. Whatever went on with them I'm not that well read on the subject, but that's no husband.

I am not a fan either.But I would not wish this on anyone.
Thirty years ago as a sister in an ICU one of our young patients died from this form of Malaria, also known as Black water fever.She was bitten in Nigeria as the plane stopped to refuel and she went outside.
It seems Cheryl Cole was caught just early enough thankfully and should be treatable, but it takes hold very quickly. The poor woman in her twenties I nursed did not survive.

It makes me laugh how so many who claim to hate this woman and think she is a "waste of space" etc... are still checking up daily on her life and follwing her every move. If you really dislike her so much then why even read about her?

- Truth, ..., 09/7/2010 11:30

It makes me laugh that people laugh at the fact that other people read about things they don't like. Now that is really weird. I don't like spiders, jelly fish, brussel sprouts or Mrs Cole, but I read about them. That's why I read about them, because I don't like them. It's quite normal to read about things you like, things you don't like, and things you couldn't care less about. I like reading and read everything. I don't like the mess the country is in but can't stop reading about it. So "Truth," what's your problem exactly?

Fluid in lungs is not necessarily a result of tropical disease/mosquito bite - it could easily be a symptom of a chronic heart/circulation problem and potentially very serious requiring immediate attention.

Actually, you have to take the tablets few weeks before going - as the trip was a surprise from Derek she really didn't have chance to do this.

'Fluid on the lungs' does not necessarily mean pneumonia (as stated by Sam, Tyne & Wear). This very vague and non medical phrase could refer to any one of several conditions involving the lungs.

However, luckily for Cheryl, she is in one of the best centres for tropical disease management in Europe, if not the world. I'm sure that when she's better she'll be glad that some of her tax money supports the NHS as no private hospital in the country can provide the excellent care that she is undoubtably receiving at UCH.

Fluid on the lungs is Pneumonia. Poor Cheryl, she will be feeling very poorly.
- Sam, Tyne and Wear, 09/7/2010

Actually Sam, it isn't. People with pneumonia certainly can get fluid on their lungs but in this case it is blood in her lungs caused by Malaria. Fluid on the lungs is also a feature of pleurisy.

Lets not get carried away - I'm sure she has enough to cope with just having Malaria!

"Fluid on the lungs is Pneumonia. Poor Cheryl, she will be feeling very poorly.
- Sam, Tyne and Wear, 09/7/2010 03:32"

sam, no, not at all. - if you read it *properly*, the article says that "the most serious form of malaria affects the blood cells, they get damaged and they damage the blood vessels. If your blood vessels leak then you can end up with blood in your lungs".

really hope she has a speedy recovery - get well soon cheryl!! :)

Fluid on the lungs does NOT necessarily mean she has Pneumonia, she could have Pleurisy, something my sister had for a short time and was PERFECTLY fine. I'm sure she is in THE BEST medical care (unlike most of us who have to suffer the NHS) so everyone, chill out.

Our thoughts are with Cheryl, Derek and their families at this terrible time.

It's very easy to say that the signs of Malaria could have been spotted earlier, but the desease has so many similarities to other common ailments. Derek, don't blame yourself for this. Education about Malaria is the key for travellers. Lets hope that the relatively early diagnosis will save Cheryl.

I'm a Newcastle expat working in Nigeria for the last five years and can see the effects of Malaria at first hand. My prayers are with Cheryl for a full recovery.

Malaria can not only kill, it can also maim and cripple. I worked with a guy who had his spine affected by it, he was all hunched over and looked twenty years older than he really was.

Hope you make a full recovery pal! Lots of love, (well love might be a push, I've never met Cheryl, but I like her all the same!) take care!

As much as I never really liked Cheryl Cole in the public eye and I got very fed up reading about her clothes, I feel quite saddened to hear she has a serious form of malaria. It's a bit like Jade Goody when she got cancer- though I hope that Cheryl does not pass away like Jade. Get better soon.

I blame myself for Cheryl Cole's malaria, says guilty friend Derek Hough as she pulls out of X Factor boot camp and V Festival

Cheryl Cole, who is recovering from malaria, has pulled out of the X Factor boot camp stages and V Festival

Dancer Derek Hough have spoken of his 'guilt' after convincing Cheryl Cole to go on holiday with him to Tanzania, where she was bitten by a malarial mosquito.

The American has been a regular visitor to the ailing star's bedside since she was hospitalised last week after contracting the tropical disease.

Dancing With The Stars winner Hough - who was been romantically linked to Mrs Cole since she split from husband Ashley earlier this year - admitted he was been 'worried sick' about the X Factor judge.

He said: 'I blame myself for all of this. I convinced Cheryl to come on holiday with me to Tanzania. We might have gone somewhere else if it had been up to her.

'I’ve been worried sick about her in hospital. When I’m not by her side I’m praying for her.'

Hough spoke for the first time after the Girls Aloud singer began to show signs of 'good progress' over the weekend.

The 27-year-old has apparently has contracted one of the deadliest strains of the illness, which has left her weak, jaundiced and unable to talk.

Yesterday, her spokesman confirmed she would not be taking part in the X Factor boot camp stages later this month or performing at V Festival in August.

The singer, who is believed to have contracted the deadliest form of malaria, was transferred to a private clinic to recuperate after spending most of last week at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases, part of University College London Hospital.

But medics have warned the hard-working star that she now need to take things easy to ensure a full recovery.

A spokesman for Cole told MailOnline yesterday: 'Cheryl Cole is making good progress but following medical advice she will not be able to take part in X Factor's boot camp stage or perform at V Festival.'

A source told MailOnline that no decision has yet been made on whether another guest judge will be drafted in, specifically to replace Cheryl.

An ITV spokesman added: 'Cheryl will not be attending The X Factor boot camp later this month. Our priority is to ensure Cheryl is fit and well before she returns to work and to give our contestants a fair and proper opportunity to compete in the show.'

Deadly: The Plasmodium falciparum strain of the Maleria bacterium

* Even though anti-malarial precautions are available, they are only 90-100 per cent effective.
* An average of nine Brits die every year from the disease, with an estimated 2,000 Britons contracting the disease abroad.
* Malaria can be found in parts of Africa, central and South America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, India and south east Asia.
* Many sufferers don't realise they have the disease until 10-14 days after being bitten by the infected mosquito.
* In the most serious cases, malaria can lead to breathing problems, liver failure, coma and eventual death.
* Plasmodium Falciparum is one of the deadliest strains of malaria and is transmitted by the female Anopheles mosquito.

A source told the News Of The World yesterday: 'It got so bad she was literally only hours from death's door.

'The fact is, we came close to losing someone very special.'

The Mail also revealed last week how the stricken star has 'fluid on her lungs.'

'Even now she can't talk. She drifts in and out of consciousness and when she comes round all she can do is sob,' the News of the World's source added.

It is likely that Cole will not be seen in public for the next two months while she recovers from the illness.

She has already missed the weekend's X Factor auditions in Manchester.

Pussycat Doll star Nicole Scherzinger performed the role of guest judge and was drafted in to replace Dannii Minogue, who is currently on maternity leave after giving birth last Monday.

The timing of the release of Cheryl's second album - which had been due in October - is also likely to be under pressure.

The singer had been feeling ill for a week - but her health problems came to light when she dramatically collapsed at a photo-shoot last Saturday.

At first it was believed she was suffering from exhaustion or gastro-enteritis – and she was ordered to rest.

However, the following day her condition deteriorated rapidly and she was rushed to hospital.

Doctors have also been that Mrs Cole may take longer to recover because of her punishing work schedule.

The star had thrown herself into her work since her marriage to Chelsea and England footballer Ashley Cole collapsed in February.

As well as being an X Factor judge, Mrs Cole is also been building a successful career as a solo pop star.

In recent months, that has meant her taking part in a European tour and recording her second album in both Britain and the US.

A friend told the Mail: ‘Doctors are concerned that her immune system is weaker because she’s been working so hard. They believe this may make it harder for her to recover quickly.’
