Know your body type
"We've all met the guy who barely works out and looks like a bodybuilder," says Williams. "We've also all met the guy who works out often, but it hardly shows. This usually comes down to how each man's bodily physique conforms to a certain type."
The three main body types and their characteristics are:
Ectomorphs – naturally slim and lean, without much body fat or muscle mass
Mesomorphs – moderate-sized body frames, with naturally strong arms and legs
Endomorphs – naturally curvier bodies, with larger bones, wider waists and hips, and a tendency to gain weight easily
Knowing your body type can help you understand what your physique naturally looks like and provide clarity around potential strengths and shortcomings.
