Yes No Weightlifting and Shake Shack
In highschool I was a skinny cross-country runner who couldn't bench 3/4 my own weight. Now I can deadlift 185kg. I can't run so fast any more, but I can still ride my bike 100 miles in around 7 hours, depending on the hills; so I'm OK with how I am.

I've put on a bit of a gut over the last year or so, but medically I don't think I would be considered anywhere near overweight (6'2/175). Wouldn't mind getting into better shape but it's not a lower weight that I would be going for, more just better strength and stamina. Probably going to do tree planting again this spring so that should be good for that.

I don't know about underweight, online calculators I've used say that's in a "normal" range. BMI is kind of bullshit though.

BMI does seem kind of bullshit in my opinion. Maybe less so for women, but it doesn't seem to take muscle to fat ratio into account enough for men.

The formula really is pretty nonsensical and I think it was developed in the 1800s, but I guess it functions as a very rough rule of thumb.

yea BMI is pretty stupid. Bodybuilders are seen as obese even with sub 10% bodyfat
people hold weight differently though. some people at 6'2 175 look malnourished, others look like they weigh another 20 pounds more. depends on your frame i guess

I fluctuated between 105 and 112 from middle to high school (9-2 years ago). As of right now, I'm 110.
I've been told that I look underweight, but my doctors say I'm at a healthy weight, so I'm gonna go with that.

I've never been overweight enough to be considered a fat guy. But when I reach a certain point, my brain starts thinking im fat, then I drop 10, 15 pounds to satisfy myself.

I've gained around 50-60 lbs since high school. But that was 14 years ago.
I was scrawny as fuck. I joined the army and gained a shit ton of mass . When I got out lost a decent amount of weight. Ended up back around 150 . I used to bike and drink a lot. About 6 years ago I started lifting again and I'm around 180.
I've tired to pray away the belly fat just doesn't help
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I've gained 40 but a safe estimate would be 50% muscle mass. Every day at work is an 8-10 hour full body workout.

I've put on some muscle just need to increase cardio. I'm not cut at all but have a decent diet just can't seem to ever want to do cardio. I'll easily get myself to do weights and shit but god damn do I hate running.

WHy do you need to do cardio? sounds like youre trying to put on muscle. Either you bulk up or cut up, can't do both at the same time
