Hello Animal Brothers,
Recently I've been struggling to fit my body type into one of these category, the problem is I can't. I wasn't really skinny when I wasn't smoking and when I quit I gained much better muscle and lost fat at same time which is not typical for Ectomorph. However, I wasn't masculine like Mesomorphs, My question is Can someone be Ectomorph/Mesomorph?
If It can be possible, should I try 4 days split or I should stick with 3 days split n loads of food like before, I'm seriously don't know what to do. Please help me brothers.

Personally, I think all of that is pure bullshit. Just an attempt to fit people into a mold.
Yeah, there is some truth to it, and there are people who fit the definitions almost perfectly. But, not everything is black and white and easily defined.I wouldn't worry about trying to classify yourself as a certain body type. And definitely don't base your workout or split based on something like that.
With that being said, there are attributes that can be defined...hardgainer, carb sensitive, high/low metabolism, and so on and so forth. Things like that you can figure out and work with. Those things you do need to adjust your diet/training for, dependent upon what your goals are.
Now, what exactly are your goals? Are you looking to add size, get more defined, lose some fat, something else? What does your current training split look like? How about your diet?

Everything I have read has basically said most people do not solely fit into one category. I would say I definitely show some endomorph characteristics as well as mesomorph.
Phil is right that you need to pay attention to your body and find what works best for you. Trial and error is usually the best plan of attack but you have to know what you want. So what are your goals? What is your diet like?

Currently I'm doing HITMAN Training cycles from Huge & Freaky book which is 3 day split and every month workouts and reps range and sets changes although no more than 3 sets for each exercise and majority of exercises are compound movements.
This is my supplement:
Multivitamin (Dymatize Super Multi or Opti-Men) - Don't have enough money to buy Animal Pak .
Animal M-Stak
Animal Nitro
Omega 3
Uni-Liver Tablets
Mutant Cre-X12 (During Workout)
Diet:
1. Immediately when I wake up 1 cup of milk with oat.
2. Breakfast: 6-8 eggs (2 whole eggs rest whites) with 1 cup of cooked rice. (Multivitamin n 2 Omega 3 softgel)
3. 2 Beef Hamburger n 1-2 Cups of cooked Pasta
4. Animal M-Stak 40 mins before workout then Animal Nitro when i hit the locker room.
5. Cre-X12 (Creatine supplement with carbohydrate during workout shake).
6. My magic weight gain shake I mix in blender ( I provided the details in Diet section recently)
7. 300 grams Steak with two baking potato
8. 300-400 gram grilled chicken breast with 2 cups of rice mixed with dried vegetables
9. Cup of Cottage Cheese with 2 Omega 3 softgel.
I take 2 tablets of Uni-Liver with each meal except the post workout shake. So what do you think?
