    Oh, the two-leg, two-arm singular torso variety.

    Extremely lanky arms, broad shoulders, barrel chested bone structure, smaller but well developed legs, around 18-22% bodyfat

    Agreed

    I imagine it's what Max Baer would've looked like had he bulked up to around 230lbs

    Baer had more slender hips, gently rounded buttocks and a pronounced V inclusion from shoulder to hips, all based on nubile dancers' legs.

    His V taper would've shrank with the enlargement of his waist due to fat storage and abdominal/oblique enlargement, and Shavers didn't have the biggest legs either. Some muscle mass and fat all around would make Baer look like Shavers

    Dunno what their asses look like tho, you have me there

    Wasn't the somatotype thing debunk a while ago, and was simply a marketing trick by fitness gurus?

    I think it's much older, but those guys keep using it.

    I think it was originally personality based on those types etc.

    Very stocky, slightly pear shaped and a strong lower center of gravity with more mass in his ass. This actually gave him more power. Lifting those bails of hay and working in factories developed his stocky muscles and wirey strength. For most of his career he couldn't box worth a damn but he definitely knew how to get leverage and weight into his punches. He had pretty long arms for a guy who was 6-6'1 and got a lot of snap into it when he needed it.

    Id say..."stocky chubby mesomorph" with a lot of powerful muscle under the fat. Wide chest and big shoulders too. Almost like an out of shape sonny liston with 1/3 of the skills lol.

    If you stare into the vast endolusions of his buttocks and hams you will notice a sublime muscularity, an almost cunning, preternatural twitch to the region, two panther in the dark that become the darkness...
