Frequently asked questions
Can my body type change?
Yes. Training and diet shift your composition; the label is a starting point, not a life sentence.
Which body type is best?
None is superior; each has trade-offs, and mixed types are common and completely normal.
Should I train only for my type?
Use it as a guide, then follow evidence-based training and nutrition that fit your goals.
