What body shape are you?

[Ennui]

You need to eat.

I eat like a pig. My metabolism is just off the scale.
... which is awesome, I'll be honest.

 

[phantomdesign]

5'10", so I'm gonna pretend I'm "tall". I'm also about 145lbs, and skinnier than most people. I have very little body fat too, something like 13%.

Same here! 5'10.5" and 145lbs. I have a really hard time gaining any muscle mass, but I always get stronger. I used to hate it, but I've learned to enjoy it, and now love it. Makes me fast, strong, agile, high-endurance . . . I'm like a mixed breed of tiger, energizer bunny, and alien!

I usually hit the treadmill at work 3 time per week for an hour, and at home do pushups/situps/pullups/etc. Supposedly I burned 600 calories today on the tread-mill; the other guy at work I usually work out with is jealous, because he's trying to lose weight and I'm trying to gain it . .. and he only does 1/2 the workout before he's tired.

5'10", 115lbs, so I'm probably the skinniest of all you. My BMI is extremely low.

WHOLY FR&$%^ you're scrawny!

 

[Acepilotf14]

Does that mean I can beat up Ennui? Sweet.
Now make me a mod! >: (

I'm not sure my height, somewhere around 6 feet, plus 165 pounds. On the borderline between healthy and overweight.

I don't care.

 

[ComradeBadger]

6 foot here, atheletic tonedness

 

[Minister]

I'm about 5'9" weighing in at about 121 pounds even though I eat like some fat twat.

I'm more lean than skinny.

 

[FoxDie]

The American Council of Exercise would agree with you.

However here in the UK the acceptable range is termed overweight. High standards and all that don't yer know.

Being the manic depressive I am my weight and therefore body shape has been all over the place. I'm currently 172cm, about 5' 8" tall, and on the fat side with 24% body fat (but that's been falling since before Christmas). :bounce: I'm trying to get back to the slim and sexy 8% I was at before my head went wonky.

Were you really 8%? When you get into the sub 10's, bodyfat is so low that health problems can start to arise. How were you measured when you were told you were 8%?

5'10", 115lbs, so I'm probably the skinniest of all you. My BMI is extremely low.

BMI is sort of a worthless value, because it doesn't take bodyfat /lean muscle ratios into account. Arnold Schwarzenegger is considered extremely obese according to BMI.

 

[Cavalry]

average height, average weight

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

I'm 6'1 and 165 lbs, so I guess I'm decently skinny.

FATASS

Spoiler

Kidding, I'm about at this as well.

 

[Dan]

5'9" and 155. Same weight for about 4 years now.

 

[Shodan]

6 foot, 110kgs.

 

[Muffin Man]

Beanpole, but I'm working towards tall and muscular.

EDIT: I'm 6'1" and 162 lbs, was about 150 lbs 2.5 months ago. Rawr.

 

[Higlac]

6'1" and 185 lbs

 

[French Ninja]

5'7 and 175 lbs

 

[Kula Meenur]

185cm (round 6'0") and muscular

90-odd kilograms (210lb)

 

[soulslicer]

Hey I wanted to make a poll similar to this lol..

I'm 175cm and 60kg. I hate my body figure. I really think I look like a fag..I gym and run and eat shitloads, yet I can't seem to gain a drop of fat or muscle.

 

[phantomdesign]

Dang, most everyone here seems to be either rather healthy or skinny. The rest of society should take note; gaming is good for your health.

 

[Phobie]

I'm short and pretty average. Woe.

 

[Wanted Bob]

5'10 and about 150 lbs.

 

[Raziaar]

I'm short and pretty average. Woe.

I'm not much one for tall women though. Petite women are where it's at, I think.

 

[Stigmata]

Damn straight.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

tall and averagish?

 

[Sgt.Tibbs]

not exactly tall but i'm muscular. ppl hear my wieght and say i'm fat if they've never seen me.

i'm 5'10 and weigh 180lbs. its muscle.

[Tollbooth Willie]

I'm a sexy bitch, leave it at that.

 

[Pesmerga]

5'8" 125lbs

Short, skinny, kind of muscular?

 

[Asuka]

short and stocky/muscular
About 5.8/9 and Built

 

[Pesmerga]

I'm pretty strong for my size and I've got a nice right hander!

Bench 145lbs
Curl 45lbs
12 pullups
50 pushups

 

[Raziaar]

I used to be able to bench press 200 pounds, back when I did massive amounts of work building the huge retaining wall on the side of my Uncles Alaska house. Thousands of railroad ties... and thick rebar holding it all together.

I actually miss those days to be honest. I hated it at the time, because I was basically being forced to do the labor, but now that I look back on it, it's a great accomplishment and something I can be proud of. Not to mention the fact it made me pretty damn strong lifting and positioning railroad ties(underhand as well as overhead) and pounding in rebar for such a great length of time.

Oh how I've deteriorated since then.

I can bend over with my legs locked and pick up 200 lbs. And I have an extremely high tolerance for pain.

Reminds me of our tin roofing project on my dad's house we completed back in 2001. Ever tried roofing during the Floridian July summer heat of around 105 degrees with a humidity of about 95 percent? That sucked too. You could hear the sweat sizzling as it poured off of us and hit the tin as we climbed at very steep and awkward angles. :x I felt much more physically capable after the four weeks it took to finish the project though, and his 3 story house ain't exactly what I'd call a shanty either. Yeah, that's how I spent my after-school summer vaction that year. Some vacation huh? Let's just say it's not something I'd want to do for a living. BTW: why hasn't anyone voted obese yet? Which one of you fatties aren't telling the truth? :dozey: Don't be shy. Who's gonna know besides us? :naughty:

But your so damn lite. 125lbs? There's hardly any muscular resistance whatsoever. :dozey: While the fatties aren't fessing up to their weight, you really need to go eat several platefuls of spagetti on the other hand. :thumbs: I'm 5'7 at 200lbs with a body fat percentile of 16 btw just in case anyone wants to know. Clinically obese is considered 20%.

I've tried pretty hard to gain weight. I know I could do it, I'm just not really disciplined enough. I'm pretty content with my peak, which I'll reach again this spring.

I weigh about 130lbs then, and feel spectacular.

Eat lots of protein and carbs. You should gain in no time unless you have some sort of underlying health issue. Try protein shakes too.

 

[Pesmerga]

Do you think I don't ****ing google these things?

Gaining weight, especially for my body type, requires a LOT of eating and a lot of time of doing it. I just can't handle it with my work/school schedule.

I don't really want to gain weight, anyway; I love my body insomuch I have a lot of muscle showing and I can handle my own weight very well.

BTW, Google sucks. I use Ask.com. Yeah, you have that type of frame that's very difficult to gain. It's either a blessing or a curse depending on how you look at it. I for one, have a stocky build that's best for body building and strength, and if not used in this manner, my physique will go down the drain with everything that's potato I swallow. Funnily enough, I'm not into either, so unless I have a busy week of physical labor, it's hard for me to keep my desired physique, as I never really cared for the monotony of going to the gym, benching and curling for hours. That reminds me, you wanna have a skeleton transplant with me? :E

 

[Letters]

Pesmerga is like my evil twin, hehe.

I'm the exact same way (plus the same height and weight...). People always tell me to enjoy it while it lasts. I then like to tell myself it'll last forever. IT'S POSSIBLE!

 

[Pesmerga]

That sounds extremely stupid- you're putting huge stresses on your lower back.

Try deadlifts.

lol that kills my knee. I blew it out freshman year, never got healed right. I swim, and that gives me a lot of strength in my back and shoulders.

 

[Shodan]

Yeah, sounds like a good way to make your spine explode. D:

 

[Higlac]

I can do lat pull downs at around 220, I'm not really worried about how strong or weak my back is. I'm worried about my knee. It hurts when it's cold out and before bad weather.

 

[MJ12]

I uh, *manly southern voice* I wrestled a grizzly with my bare hands before. Was about to break it's neck, but I decided to let the poor critter go. And thats why they made the ZombieTurtle-Bear stuft animal that children still play with to this very day...

<_<

[Druckles]

Beanpole. Sadly. But little will change that but time.
