Bruce Lee

It’s no surprise bruce lee is on this list! Bruce Lee is known worldwide as this crazy martial arts guy that had the discipline Navy Seals were jealous of.

Even now, I have a few of his quotes on my Instagram because he is so motivational.

Bruce Lee is one of the most well known famous ectomorphs.

If you’ve read my blog for a little- you’ll know I do quite a bit of martial arts myself. Here’s a quote relating to martial arts, but realistically life, that I think is very interesting.

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

Bruce Lee

So what is he saying? He’s saying he’s not worried about someone that just does a bunch of things randomly albeit often, he’s scared of facing someone that has incredible mastery in a specific thing.

So for instance. He is not scared of a lawyer that is also a doctor, and also a police officer, and also a teacher, and also a gardener, and also a farmer. But, he is scared of a lawyer that has been doing it since he was 5 and has done nothing else.

Bruce Lee is pointing out the fact when you do something so much for so long, you iron out all of your weaknesses and know the tiniest things that other people don’t. This makes you incredibly strong in that mastery.

How Can I Use Bruce Lee’s Quote?

Well, find something in life you love, and become a true ‘master’ of it.

If you want to become a master at gardening, don’t waste your time working on cars. Focus more on growing your garden knowledge and gardening.

Over time you may learn tiny things amateur farmers may not know. Maybe you learn it’s better to pull the weeds off when the plant is fully grown because it’s less of a risk. Maybe you learn exactly how to stop a certain pest from eating your crop.

These are things an amateur farmer wouldn’t know. The same thing applies to even this website. One of my newer writers, Yousif, won’t know everything I do because I focus so much on this.

Instead of putting my spread everywhere and focusing on a billion things, I master the website and it pays off. I get awesome fans who read my content and I help the world.

Instead, I could’ve flopped this by trying to learn 50,000 different things at once.

Master one thing and use that to be a master that’s intimidating.

Ectomorphs Can Use This Quote

So, for the ectomorphs. Get out there and master your body type.

Don’t refute it or hate it, just understand it. Learn your weaknesses, and play around them. Find out your strengths, and use them to your advantage.

Spend a ton of time learning what your body type can do for you, and what it can’t. Then you’ll be more mastered than the billions of others that have your body type, and soon, you will be rewarded.

Lance Armstrong

Lance Armstrong is #1 on this famous ectomorphs list because let’s put it bluntly, he is one of the best athletes our nation has EVER seen.

Let’s look at the facts. Lance is one of the best cyclists in the world’s history. Lance Armstrong won 7 Tour de France competitions in a ROW.

And those aren’t easy, at all. He did all of this being an ectomorph.

So he’s won over 7 Tour de France competitions. Each tour de France is 2,200 miles long. Yep. So, just competitively and not recreationally speaking, Lance Armstrong has biked well over 15,400 miles.

That’s more miles than I put on my car in a year. Most Americans barely put on 10,000 miles a year to their cars, and to think this guy has biked more than that just competitively?

Lance Armstrong is incredibly gifted as an athlete and is incredibly motivational as well.

If you’re that ectomorph reading this wondering about how athletic and competitive you can be- look no further. This guy is it. If he can do it- YOU can.
