Let's get straight to the point. There are three body types:
- Hypersthenic - short arms, legs, neck and broad shoulders
- Normosthenic - average build
- Asthenic - narrow shoulders, long legs and arms
To determine your type, you need to clasp the bone near your palm with your thumb and forefinger. If you succeed without problems, you are an asthenic; if it is difficult, you are a normosthenic; if you fail, you are a hypersthenic.
And for every body type there is a weight norm.
