It's funny, I take the side of some of the really big guys on another forum I visit. The skinny guys say he' overweight cause he's lazy. I say bull! Some people just are BIG and have genetics to be BIG! Skinny guys say it's laziness but I say genetics. Sure , we can all get fit or lose some but this guy at 6'6 will never be 180 like the others claim he should be. BS!
My thinking is bodytypes have plenty to do with it! I could easily say if the skinny guy can't byuild muscle, then he's lazy too! But I know better. I have skinny frineds tha thave pumped iron with me and they just don't get big. some but not much!
I have been riding my bike, burned off pleny of muscle but the minute I lift a weight, I start getting big and/or hard. I've been thinking of losing weight but going to the gym with my daughter. I have been lifiting LIGHT weights. Only enough to sit in with her and perform the exercises as an example and time for her to catch her breath. I thought I'd lose weight but LOOK! My muslces are responding just looking at the weights!
Wish my tummy would do the same!

Even those of us who are within a legitimate shot of staying under 200 cam empathize with how demoralizing it can be to chase these gravity-defying, lithe-limbed, wisps of cycling humanity up grades fit for cloven-hoofed cleated critters. They do not get it at all what a deal it can be keeping up on that terrain.
Here, however, is an Oreamnos americanus who appears to be one slice of pizza and a beer short of Clyde status himself.
Quite a majestic creature ain't he?
Yours, a Capricorn who feels cheated cos he's more like a buffalo.

Last time I was under 200 I was in high school and had no where near the muscle and frame I have now. I'd be thrilled with 230.
