Mesomorphs are people who have a naturally high muscle-to-fat ratio. People with this body type usually respond well to strength training and find it simpler to gain and retain muscle than others. They could also have an easier time gaining or losing weight. Mesomorphs are considered to be the balanced body type compared to endomorphs and ectomorphs.
