gained weight

[Nick E]

Im just about 16, weigh somewhere around that...and I'm only 5'6", lol. But I'm not a fatty, so I don't care. If you feel good then you probably are good.

I'm 5'6" 130 and my doc says I need to put on weight it's unhealthy for me to be so skinny. Problem is that my metabolism has kicked up a notch ever since I've turned 18 or 19 so I've basically been burning calories enough to drop from 150 to 130 over 2-ish years. (That really helped me make weight for a couple spars I've had though if you remember my old threads. 145 down to 135 over the summer alone.) It's all really dependent on your body type. Me being a dancer, of course I'll be naturally skinnier. If you have wider shoulders or a bigger torso (not long skinny arms and legs), of course you'll be able to bulk up more if you get healthy.

edit: so in summary:

small frame = naturally lighter
large frame = naturally heavier
lanky = less body mass
stout = more body mass

If you start to become stronger/in better shape, large frames will tend fill out and have more body mass. Small frames are dependent on previous condition.

lol, just bring your bench up! hahaha

I should show you guys the hill I run when I want to get into shape... It's something like a 3/4 mile hill with something that is between 20 degrees to high 20's degrees. Ridiculous shin splints....

LOL, benching your own weight shouldn't be an accomplishment. Your only lifting yourself!!!!


FARMER - 180lbs? Are you short/tall? Sounds like you've just got a stocky build. Maybe you got some more muscle. Or maybe you've got a 15lb turd you need to poop out.

im about 5'6'' to 5'7'' and i live on a farm so by no means have i ever been "skinny" and dont joke about the turd thing last year i ate a box of exlax and instead of making me go it clogged me up for 9days. and when i went it probably was 15lbs

When I was your age I was 6'5, 230. If only I could get back down to that weight now. The BMI is useless. I know I have a little extra weight but I am in pretty good shape (just got done playing full court BBall and played 15 straight minutes) but according to the BMI I am obese. I'm 6'7, 300. Most of my weight is in my chest and legs. I have huge thighs and calves that are all muscle. Don't get too caught up in weight. At your age it's going to change a lot.

I also can't stop losing weight over the last couple years.

I am eating more and better than I ever have, but I've lost about 10 lbs since I got out of high school.

I wonder how long it will last.

it'll last until your metabolism slows from getting old... Then you'll become a fatass

I'm 5'-10" and about 130. (Not a scarecrow, just wiry. Irish blood.)

[Ken Majors]

I am 6' and I weighed 185 when I went in the Army. 204 when I got out.
Although I did weigh 167 when I graduated from Ranger school....I looked like an Aushwitz survivor.

I was probably 175 when I was 15.

I am 40 y/o and weigh 248 now. I have finally made it to fat bastard status.

Don't sweat it....it's all in how you carry the weight.....or as Tom Jones says..."it's the lead and how you swing it"

[RaptorMan]

I wouldnt sweat it as long as its lean mass youre gaining it will do you nothing but good. When I started highschool at 14 I was probably 6' and weighed 165 the next year right before football camp started in august I was maybe an inch taller and was 188. By the time camp started senior year I was 6'2" 236. I can only imagine the amount of muscle I could have put on if I took care of myself!
