Mesomorph

Mesomorph is one of the three somatotypes described by Dr Sheldon in the 1930’ and 1940’s. Mesomorphs tend to be ‘Triangular’ shaped. Capable of packing on muscle relatively easily, they tend to have broad shoulders, a small waist, be fairly lean and usually have strong bones. Brad Pitt is a good example of a Mesomorph.

A person does not have to adhere exactly to the ‘typical’ shape of their somatotypes- we can share characteristics of all three somatotypes, but our more dominant characteristics give us our body type.
