The last time I weighed 180lbs I was 15.....I attached a pic....I look like a skeleton.....I wrested 175, and in the summers was good for another 5 that was the first summer after and I made SURE not to go over 180.
Youre right about running, but it does for leg muscle and tones it, and when you ride like i do thats important, but it gets your metabolism up, and when I can its good for my legs/knees, as long as I then dont tear em back up doing something.....ehhhmmmmm "stupid" ..... and when you drink as much soda as I do....My Drs told me when I got down to 210 I needed to gain weight, I said its a bit hard with a broken jaw but Ill try , so I drank soda
Here is what I looked like at an inch shorter at 180 on the button, and inch taller........ and at 15 there was no "skinny fat" it was wrestling swimming scuba diving and rowing. So.....
Tell me thats healty/normal for an adult of my frame now with muscle and physically taller ? Maybe it is....but its not practical, I have a crazy metabolism as it is and can gain or drop 30 lbs in a month, just by adjusting my diet, The gaining is slower, but it comes off quick even then im still 220
Im still a size 32 (Ok....34 now) waist, when I gain it all goes right above my beltline....
Even at 200 , thats only 9 lbs above the national average but a 30lb advantage for other "smaller framed" drivers.....seem odd to me.....
Like I said, its a CAR, why does driver weight, especially with saftey equiptment have a bearing ? Maybe theres a reason....
Im on the left....
