Compared to other people in your height range, would you say that you are underweight, average, or overweight? I'm definitely underweight with a DJ Qualls type body build. Sometimes I think I'm a freakin walking skeleton. I'm currently considering buying either a bowflex or a Total Gym system. Both cost in the neighborhood of $2500, so considering is all I'm really doing at this point.

I'm 5'10" and 220lbs. I'm overweight, but I'm no Chris Farley. I've mentioned this before on another board, but I basically look exactly exactly like the lead singer of Brand New Sin body-wise (not style-wise or anything like that), as you can see here http://www.brandnewsin.com/robertjohn.htm (he's the guy in the middle). Personally, I'm content with my size. I have a friend who is an inch or two shorter than me and he weighs about 170lbs. and he looks small. Like Tajiri small. I grew up as a very skinny kid of roughly average height and I'm not interested in returning to my former status of below average in body size. |

If you grew up skinny, then what did you do to plump up? 'Cause I gotta tell ya, I hate being skinny. |

I did naturally towards the middle of puberty. I wound up gaining about sixty to seventy pounds and another half foot in two or three years. It seems my growth was taking awhile to kick in, so when it did - it kicked in big time. Before then, I was so skinny I could take all of my fingers and easily grasp the inside of my rib cage about three ribs up without any discomfort at all. So you wouldn't be able to gain it like I did and since you're so naturally skinny, I wouldn't doubt it if you never gain much more weight unless your body gets knocked to a different setting and your metabolism slows down somehow. But that doesn't necessarily mean you can't get heavier. My uncle was DJ Qualls skinny his whole life until he started to casually work out in his early twenties/late teens. Now he's about the size of the modern day Anthony Michael Hall. |

I want to start working out, but I don't want to go to a gym. I usually don't mind when people make fun of me, but I'm very self-conscious about my skinniness, so if I went to a gym then I'd be paying more attention to the snickering from the muscle heads than the work out regiment, and eventually I'd stop going (after all of 1 or 2 trips). So now I'm thinking I'll buy either a Bowflex or a Total Gym and build some mass that way. It's just that goddamn steep price that is stopping me. The cheapest I found on the websites was somewhere in the neighborhood of $900, and that machine was just the basic bench. I can go get a basic free weight bench dirt cheap, but all I'd be able to do would be the basic bench and leg curls.

I just got rid of a weight bench. I couldn't get any use out of it. It was too large to put anywhere, it was too awkward to do anything comfortably, and half of the things it could do weren't a workout at all (because of a lack of room for weights on it - meaning the maximum for leg curls was around forty pounds - if that). The only thing I could do was bench press and it was uncomfortable, both physically and mentally (I worry about the weights falling onto me and injurying me). I hope to get a Total Gym someday, since it seems to be a phenomenal machine, but who knows if I'll ever get around to it. |

I'm underweight. I think I'm about 55-65 kilos, which is about 130lbs. I'm about 6 ft but I eat all the time, and it just rushes through me. So I'm not underweight, I just have a superhuman metabolism, and I don't really have a problem with it. I would work out, but I can't be bothered. I did do a bit of weights a while ago, and damnit it showed, my biceps were bulging, but I've since given up and it's all flabby and dissapeared now. Same with my legs. Meh. |
