ok guys and girls,heres a pic of me and the cubbie lad from next door(hes now startin trainin lol)thing is if you look at us to,who would u say is the heivest?now we are both the same hieght and id of put money on him bein far heavier than me yet hes only 2lb more

,i asked this on another bb board and the onlt reply was that muscle weighs more than fat,but still surely not that much more?????

That's because muscle does weigh more than fat. Much denser. The young kid hasn't built up much muscle yet. It is strange though.

thats what i thought cos he is much bigger,also i have put on 2 stone since that pic,but i cant hold bf????its a real pain to gain size,evern if i sat and ate shed loads of fatty food and junk i still dont hold bf,some may think its a good thing but not when u want size puttin on,in fact when that pic was takern its was also the higest my bf has evey been,also i now ill be gainin water and fat on my cycle but any ideas how my lack of ability to hold bf will react wilest im on my cycle?

Muscle weighs more than fat. Also you have to consider things like height and bone density.

yeah on first glance u'd think he would weigh more but then when u think for a sec n see he is mostly fat and your descent muscle it tips scales the other way - out of interest wot do u/him weigh in that pic would u say?

devilsquest · 11-12-2005, 02:28 AM

hi in that pic the stats for me are 6`3 200lb,he was 6`2 and 204lbs,i have since put on a good 2 stone

11 days just short of 3 months and you have put on 28 pounds?
Thats almost 3 pounds a week for 10 weeks and you are leaner than that pic?
You would be considered the elite then.

lol i am lucky that i just go do the weights and my body goes into over drive,BUT it soon stops growin,and i always struggle from there on to gain size,which if true to form is around 3 months trainin mark,when that picture was takern i had not been trainin for over 10 years,and in fact id not done any think to work my body due to an injury,so id been sat around like a slob,so that should give u an idea about my genetics,just wish i could get biger after my stickin point,once i hit it ill be doin my first cycle,i just was not sure if gainin on a cycle would beafected by my lack to hold bf to a sertain dergry,as it does seem to affect how i gain now!!

I'M SORRY TO TELL YOU FOLKS THAT MUSCLE IS NOT HEAVIER THAN FAT! A POUND OF MUSCLE WEIGHS EXACTLY THE SAME AS A POUND OF FAT. BUT BECAUSE MUSCLE IS MORE DENSE IT TAKES UP A SMALLER PORTION OF VOLUME ON THE BODY, ON THE OTHER HAND FAT IS LESS DENSE AND TAKES UP A GREATER VOLUME OF SPACE ON THE BODY.
SO THE ILLUSION IS THAT SOME BODY FATTER LOOKS BIGGER THAN SOMEBODY MORE TONED AND MUSCULAR?
TEASER FOR YOU; WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF TONED? ANSWERS PLEASE TO LEISURELEE.
