Curiously, I wonder at what point in mass gain do we consider Kane an mesomorph?

Now that's a fascinating question. I only recently started kicking around these terms myself and don't everything about their origins. But if I understand the terms correctly, then I think the simple answer would be never.
I don't think most of us are pure ectomorphs, endomorphs, or mesomorphs. Most of us have at least some aspects of more than one type. I actually would consider Kane an ecto-mesomorph He has fairly wide shoulders, for one thing. And just his ability to put on mass, to me, gives him something more in common with mesomorphs, since pure ectomorphs are supposed to find it very difficult to put on mass, and have very low inherent muscle mass.
I consider myself an ecto-mesomorph even though at one point in my life I weighed as little as 105 pounds and in the absence of weight training I would probably bottom out at a resting weight of around 125 (in come Peter with some comments).
Whether Kane is an ecto or an ecto-meso he will always be that if, as I said, I understand the terms correctly, and they refer only to body shape and to one's tendecies in terms of muscle gain, appetite, and other things. And can only be used as a simple gauge to help you know what to expect from your body.
Course, it all just becomes names after a while and this is just my take on it.
