But broad shoulders and the ability to gain weight and muscle, period puts you out of that category. I used to weight 115 pounds and I'm not ectomorph either. Being 145 pounds but then at some point pushing 250 to 300, no way. It's just a label that people put on themselves but doesn't mean much.

It's become a completely ridiuculous thing. Basically you see a marathon runner and they're labelled as an ectomorph simply by being very slim or skinny. But if they were to train and eat differently, for a different goal, they could of course be labelled a mesomorph. The labels won't help you!

Then I stand corrected, I believe I was going with my 8th grade health class definition which is what you just described to me as being the problem. Thanks for clarifying that.
