Yeah you might be right. It was very hard to maintain my weight at around 170. I'm now 158lbs and my body fat has gone down a bit. Ive adjusted my goals for myself. Now I am aiming for 145lbs with about 10% body fat. I'm going to attain this by lifting heavy and consuming lots of protein but having a colorie deficit in my…

It would be impossible to tell you what body fat I am right now because I have no means of measuring. I would say I am around 20% but my stomach does pop out a little and no visible abs. My training regiments is fairly simple and not too complex. I do one compound lift usually heavy followed by some isometrics.

I may stop using the mirror to be honest. I want to get stronger and have a relatively acceptable amount of body fat.

I am slowly starting to lift within the 6-7 rep range on my compound lifts.

I can't get to 200lbs without getting a horrible amount of body fat. Update: my stomach is flat and my lifts are slowly increasing, but I've just started progressively overloading.

Forgot to mention I am a male.

To get big you must eat big.

Almonds, Homemade shakes, Milk, and peanut butter. There are more but those are my favorite.

True.

Well. It's just that there really isn't any professional 150lb running backs guys. Marshawn Lynch is over 200lbs. Legarette Blount is over 200lbs but it doesn't matter anymore. I'm not going to try out anymore. I don't have the height to add that weight and it would look ridiculous on my frame. I have to be realistic so…

You're right. I'm gonna start cutting :smile: . I really want some vascularity haha.

I only w Well I'm weak too on top of it lmao. Small and weak haha.

It's hard haha. When I walk into the weight room everyone else is bigger.

This all makes sense. I can gain a maximum of 145lbs of lean body mass. The rest would be fat.

I have the opposite of you man. I am obsessed with gaining weight. It's a short man complex I developed.

Everyone's advice has been great I have just been ignorant in thinking I can be that heavy. It's more of a short man complex. I feel that because I am so short I have to make up for it in weight. But that's more of a psychological problem I guess.

I'm not sure but I don't want to anymore. You guys made it clear that I will probably be obese and die young.

Fine. I just won't try out for football then. That guy looks perfect for my size.

He looks better than I ever will and kudos to him. Is he all natural? I don't have enough money to buy anything other than Creatine or protein shakes. He looks natural though. He's shredded but I feel like he has better genetics than me.

I should've added the trying out for football in here. Besides I am taking in what everyone else is saying. Just analyzing longevity and other factors right now based on what you guys are saying.

I used to play football as running back. Being lean and muscular would be bad trust me haha.

I think I should return to 215lbs. Besides might compete in sports again and I will need that weight.

You're most likely right I used a thing were you hold two handles to measure. However my family is heavy. My dad is 5 11 250 and is kind of fat. I had a stomach but felt healthy. But I'm no beast. Just a little man haha.

What do you mean? There's no such thing as clean eating because it varies from person to person. Stay within your calorie limit and meet your macronutrients. I just eat whatever I want but sometimes I have to splurge on junk food to meet my calorie intake but only after meeting my macros.

I eat almost anything in sight. It's not a good idea but I don't care. I can't help myself and my metabolism is insanely fast.

I used to be 215lbs. And it looked fine except for a somewhat unacceptable gut. My body fat was 19% at 215 but I felt healthy. I don't know. I kind of want to keep going and it is awfully easy to consume almost 4000 calories a day for me.

You mean make your legs and bum bigger I assume because toning does not exist.

Nice. Looks good no stomach either.

Age?

What's your height and weight? Activity level?
