Why dont i get fat?

Original post by BKS

I assumed round the shoulder, got 17.5 and got confused cause I'm 5kg heavier than OP and almost certainly shorter. Since I don't think my shoulders are proportionately tiny that'd make him a hell of a funny shape.

Didn't think anyone would actually think 19.5 across is actually broad

How can you be 17.5 round ? as in circumference? That's the size of a big arm?

You physically can't be that small lol

Its not really that broad compared to people that weigh like 200+ lbs.
But it is definitely broad for someone like me who is 179cm/180cm tall.
The average shoulder width for a man 5'10 is 17-18 inches.

5ft5, 22inch and I'm don't think I'm big

Where'd you get that average? If it's true then I'm claiming to be huge from now on.

As in I took the tape, held my arm up but not flexed, warped the tape round the biggest point.

Maybe I did it wrong, it was akward

The average man in the United States is 5-foot 10-inches tal, and weighs 172 pounds. His shoulder width is 18-1/4 inches.

I'm 2 inches shorter and my shoulders are 2 inches wider than yours, and I don't consider myself to be all that broad.

5 foot 10 borderline 11. 182lbs.

Using that shoulder measurement pic you posted. I stood back on a wall relaxed got someone to mark with a pencil either side of my shoulders and I came back at 21.5 inches.

yes but how much do you weigh?
If you weighed 110lbs and have 22 inch shoulder, that is really broad.
How long have you been going to the gym?
I never even signed up for a gym membership in my life, never took protein shakes. I could easily build massive deltoids to get wider shoulders.
Infact, i experimented. One time, i ate the absolute bare minimum for 3 months and i only lost 1 pound.
If you big guys dont eat alot, you'll lose muscle like no tomorrow.
Muscle takes energy to maintain, which comes from food consumption.

And what is the measurement of your biceps?
What is the maximum weight you can curl? without swinging.

101kg.

Broad shoulders are broad shoulders though. No such thing as 'broad shoulders for my weight' they're either broad or they aren't.

18months or so.

Join a gym, you already curl 30kg so a few months at the gym and you'll be hench.

You're tiny though, you've nothing to lose.

I'm eating 1500Kcal at the minute, not losing muscle.

Also you measure shoulder width from the back. Using the front measurement approach I just got 23.5 inches, which is stupid. Although I'm guessing my shoulders are now 4 inches wider than your broad boulders.

We all saw the pic before it was removed

You are completely untrained. You don't eat as it is, you have nothing to lose

I don't lift and yet I'm considerably bigger than you still, yet you try and insult us all

I'm confused as to your purpose here

Because you have high metabolism. Enjoy it while it lasts. I used to have high metabolism but I'm already noticing a difference in my early 20s :frown:
