lol...you're light. 158 pounds for an adult is nothing.

but yeah, I am considered overweight. my doc says it would be hard to determine what weight I should be considering my build, height, and muscle mass. I'm probably 20 pounds overweight...bah, whatever....I'll work it off by summer.

Atheletes (hockey, (american) football players) who are well over 6 feet tall all weigh over 200 pounds. And they're quite healthy. So am I. I may weigh more than most, but I'm also rarely sick, injured, and can whoop ass in a variety of physical activities. :)

Yeah.... Don't determine your overall "fitness" level by your weight. It should be done by how much muscle you have and how you use it.

:unsure:

Well perhaps it has something to do with different builds of bodies. Here in Holland you guys would be looked upon as fat people.

It also depends on where your weight is. If it's in the abs region and in the ass and stuf... :green:
But if it's all in your muscles...

And here I'm considered average, not light. I know some people who are really light. Like 20 pounds lighter and a few inches taller. :eek: :D

yay i got 20's for my biceps....anyways i can only do em on curls and concentration curls, not reverse curls and a few other exercises...hmm

I do 150 reps a day....50 reps at a time. I'm 6'2 and 150. I eat a lot of protien even though i'm a vegetarian. I eat a lot of dairy and other stuff. I'm very health conscience as is the rest of my family. Problem is though, I have the same body build up as my dad...tall and skinny. I max out at 150 on the bench. and I max out at 170 on the butterfly(or whatever its called). I'll never be a tank just because of my body's build. Oh well, i'm strong...just not bulldozer strong. -age 16

Yeah... i curl 20's.... im 135 and anywhere from 5'7-5 5'10

heh heh heh good ol emil 5'7''-5'10''

im either 5'9'' or 5'10''

oh and, im not really that tall, but i guess we have the same builds, cause i look pretty skinney too. but, ive seen some dudes who are still pretty huge and have tons of muscle, but u just gotta work at it man.

EDIT:double post, anyways i felt for the first time in a while my arm workout was good...now for tomm!chest and tri's!!

I agree...

As for angrist... 158 is about the weight of a stacked girl... :p

It's possible to be any weight and not be considerd fat.... I mean, what's worse a 270lb guy with 6% body fat or a 150lb guy with 20% body fat?

Being "fit" or not is judged by body fat... and some people can rock any weight of body with high percentages of body fat. Without going to a doctor, the main way to judge how much body fat a guy has is by his waist. If they are soggy down there it's high... if they are soggy on top, and hard about half an inch in, that's normal weight... and if it's just hard they are either far below weight, or in athletic shape.

Depends on what the guy does for a living.

Not to mention he has to pay more to ride on airplanes ;)

150 reps is overkill man....after ur 4th or 5th set u are just losing calories soooo

i consider myself pretty fit i guess... i got muscle on my arms... im not fat... and i almost have abs :unsure: Im not really sure how tall i am cause like.... ok... My friend sais hes 5'7 and then we stand up and im taller than him... :unsure: or this other guy sais hes 5'11 and hes got like half an inch on me... or some other guy sais hes about 5'7ish and were like the same height :unsure:

I use to be about 5'4 and 140.. before i started goin to the gym.. i lost a bit of weight and grew some... now i wanna put on some more muscle... :unsure:

Dont really know what to do tho... I run about 3 miles... couple times a week.. and then i do some weightliftin i guess... and on days i go to the gym i get enough protein... not seen much results tho..

heres the split i currently follow emil


1) Back/Bi
2) Chest/Tri
3) Rest
4) Legs
5) Shoulders
6) Rest

try it if ya want

also, if you are bulking DO NOT RUN, or do any cardio, and get an excess amount of calories. sure u'll gain some wight but u'll gain some muscle

if you are cutting, then you are doing the right thing. cardio 2-3 times a week for 20-30 mins. ask anything else and i got an answer lol

My foot is back in crutch-free walking condition, but I have a lot of work to do in the gym. I have chuncked on 15-20 lbs(I have low metabolism... maybe because I used to be a chunky guy)... I might start off doing cardio again by getting on the bike, then work myself to running a couple of miles a day again.

man 2 miles a day is overkill, unless ur doing it for some kinda sport
