He has a larger frame (bone structure) as the endomorph does, but a low body fat percentage as the ectomorph has. You could say this is the aspiring body type that everybody wants.

Mesomorph Training Tips: Training in the 8-12 repetition rep range, 30-1 min rest periods between sets, and enough cardio to stay lean but not a ton Mesomorph Dieting Tips: Keep carbohydrates at 40-60%. Portion meals by balling up your fist – that’ 1 portion size. Break meals into 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day, and eat enough calories to maintain muscle mass. Body Type Combinations.
