Dave Draper’s Musclebuilding Q&A

Is it true you are an endomorph? That’s what I read in Arnold’s Encyclopedia book. I think I am. Do I really have to watch my carbs? How many grams would you suggest I take in daily?

Medically there is no such categorizing as endomorph, mesomorph and ectomorph. They are the creation of one researcher. That said, I would fall into the mesomorph category of the gentleman’s theory.

I can’t answer your carbohydrate intake question without more knowledge about you — age, years training, size, body composition, training scheme, lifestyle, current food intake, etc.

Count on this: Keep your protein high, your good fats medium and your good carbs medium. This is a good practice for most types of musclebuilders, unless they are in the final stages of competition preparation.

Know just enough, seek inspiration, train hard, eat right and be happy…

Go… grow… Godspeed… Dave
