Body weight vs Frame

[PitbullTank]

called "symmetry"... will make you appear bigger or smaller... waist size is 1 of most important...insertions, muscle bellies etc...

you honestly look 25lbs more than you are.....

from that single pic.....I would have said 215...

I'm 215 now, and I look a lot smaller. Probably because I'm soft/fat.

The only other pic I have from that time (190) is another torso shot. I appreciate that without back and leg shots it's hard to assess.

Slightly different angle, and some might say that I look 190 here. Ultimately, I don't really mind either way.

Good topic

When I was much younger, I would go to fairs and such and usually
there would be a ‘booth’ where somebody, always a guy, would guess
your weight.

Of course, at that age, I was always running around in a tank top,
shorts or long pants (I don’t remember), but being self-conscious
about my skinny legs, probably long pants.

Then I would step on the scale. And they always guessed me heavier
than I was, 15lbs give or take. (I am a shrimp compared to most of
the members here.)

Now I am a bit more balanced, but I still look heavier, or so I am told,
than I am, but by not as much. (Fat does that. )

I find I am a terrible judge of a person’s weight, especially if they are
muscular. There are so many variables . . . bone structure being the
most deceptive to me. Then there is how well hydrated you are, how
long since you have taken a dump, etc. . . . Would fail miserably as
that guy who guesses your weight, would give away all the toys and
would get myself fired pronto

that's not you is it....???

 

[biglizard225]

maybe hes got no legs....

theres a GOOD DAMN reason why people don't look what they actually
weigh....

there is something to the whole thing though.....ive always weighed less
than Ive actually looked.....

I know I posted this pic before.....but look at the size of everyone here...
it still blows my mind that this line up is a heavyweight line up....

Damn Tenny, you smoked Delarosa in that pose.

I have a big frame , large joints , wide hip girdle , just built like a draft horse. I compete at about 245-250 in respectable condition , I'd have to be at least 270-275 to have a chance at not getting laughed at a national level show and greatly widen my back

Pretty much worst genetics for bodybuilding , tall (6'2"-6'3") with wide hips and thick ass joints , short muscle bellies :banghead::banghead:

 

[little slice]

im built like a harp seal

 

[Zarati]

At 6'1" and 190, shirtless I looked 220 at least I reckon.

Like you, I've got a small frame. I look small in clothes. It's all mostly genetics.

either you are way shorter than 6'1'' or way bigger than 190.

lol....yea, its too bad I was on my way OUT of competition...

he was just starting his journey....

I'm a little over 6'1" and I was 190 in the pic. There's no real way for me to prove it, but it is what it is.

I'd rather to say to people I'm 220, 230, etc... but THAT would be the lie.

He's the biggest looking dude up there. Also looks like he's the hardest from the front judging by that picture. Quads are diced compared to Delarosas watered down looking legs.

 

[tenny]

What was your waist size there and weight?
