Members BadRonald Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 ^^^ Agreed. When I got married in my early 20's I was 6'5" and 165lbs! Waaay too skinny. I worked at a grocery warehouse 10 hour days throwing 60-80lb bags all day. To look at me you'd think I wasn't strong, but man I was strong as hell. I ate like a horse and couldn't gain weight. I hated it.17 years later and I'm 6'5" and 230 lbs. I feel great. Thank God I finally gained weight. It took until my late 30's for it to happen though.So my response is to the guys saying these kids are unhealthy. I looked like them too and I was very healthy and strong. It's just the way my body was. Now if you sit around all day and do nothing and don't eat and look like that, then your very unhealthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members johnkline Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 I'm more puzzled by people who haven't mastered basic spelling and grammar. Rule #99. You really need to read it. http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2008/05/12/99-grammar/ I'm on the other side of the spectrum. 5'11" 240. I could stand to lose 20 no doubt, but I have never been light. Even back in the Army days I was around 200 and maxed the pt test. (That's 82 pushups in 2 mins, 92 situps in 2 mins, and do the 2 mile run under 12:00) {censored} I feel fat now, probably couldn't even finish a mile..

Members panther_king Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 I'm 6'3" and around 175. I'm thinish, but in superior health. I'm not buff, but I walk and easy 5 miles a day in whats going to be 100 degree heat, up and down 40 flights of stairs, and lift up to 50lbs of equipment over my head while I attempt to secure it to a ceiling mount 30 feet off the ground. I just burn alot of calories a day. I would have to eat so much more a day to make the extra calories TO weight lift, that I probably wouldn't have the time to even do so during the day. And yes. I sold my Les Paul for an Ibanez S Prestige, and my Randall MTS combo is a pain in the ass to move around. Being strong or not doesn't change the fact that a Les Paul is heavy and uncomfortable in comparison to other guitars, and the amps can be heavy.

Members King Loudness Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 Dude...that sounds pretty unhealthy. You definitely need to eat more. I'm skinny. I can't imagine being 40 pounds lighter and the same height.Then I must fail. I'm like 5,9" and like 110 and I'm 14, but then again, I don't eat at all. I can handle lifting my rig though.

Members Inertiatic_SKS Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 I'm 5 ft 8 in and 119 lbs and I have little to no problem hauling my gear Only thing I really have a problem with is hauling my 4x12 up and down stairs, hence why I plan on getting 2 2x12s.

Members TheAmazingBlob Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 6'7", 180 lbs. FTW? I've been a skinny bastard ever since I started running cross country in 7th grade. I'm 17 now, and even during the offseason, when I basically don't exercise at all for 4-5 months, I gain 5 lbs tops. And of course it all disappears as soon as I start running again. I do a small amount of weight lifting so I don't look like an anorexic freak, but even I wanted to get big I probably couldn't. I can lift my ~100 lb 4x12 by myself no problem, though.

Members Mel Cooley Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 I remember an article where Randy Rhodes complained about the weight of his Les Paul's. You can't be hatin' on Randy! :poke: Les Paul has always complained about the weight of Les Pauls, so there's a reasonable concern there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
