    Average as I've put 18 lbs in the past 5 days (all water, but meh, I don't look skinny anymore).
    all water would do is semi bloat you... unless you creatine loaded or something and exercises your arms and chest would not suddenly become non skinny?

    Yep, started Universal's Storm on Monday (as well as bodybuilding) and my muscles stayed the same as when I left the gym pumped up.

    Slim, but I want to put on weight. I have a stupidly over active metabolism.

    Since Monday, this didn't happen last year when I started Storm. However, now I have a proper diet (4-5 meals a day), MRP shake upon waking up, Animal Pak, Animal Stak, Liquid Amino for after workout and casein. Last year I had only a MRP, Storm and Pak.

    PS: Started taking everything the first day I went to the gym so maybe my body didn't know how to react.

    I'm average bordering on skinny.

    The results of the poll show people are lying and underestimating their weight, though. Skinny is below average and therefore shouldn't exceed average otherwise the average wouldn't be average... Go figure.

    I'm about 14-15% body fat so I guess average. Aim to be around 10-11% at some point. That'd be good.

    Wtf is chunky.

    Average Well-Built

    On a diet to get ripped and toned but its hard, I must admit talking about it and doing it is 2 different things.

    The poll is for guys but it's very biased against guys, where's athletic/options for those who like gaining weight (not fat) i.e toned, ripped, beastly, etc

    Statistally, we should see either a bell curve centered on average, the complete opposite of that.
    People on an online fitness forum are not really that statistically likely to have average bodies. Unless you can call the misc a fitness forum.
