That is an unfair characterization. I'ma ***** meathead who hates skinny men for the very clear reason that their necks are narrower than their heads.

dude, is you are achieve 11% body fat at age 34, you are facing a huge uphill battle for the rest of your life to keep it there. good luck. I would be carefull about how much scorn you heap on fat people, there is an excellent chance that you will be back on the team in the next decade or two.

I like when doodz claim they "have a lot of muscle" and when you see pics of them they are pretty slovenly and bulky, and essentially appear fat. I don't care if you think you have "lots of muscles." If it's covered by fat, you look fat. Let's call it what it is, people.

Isn't this a battle worth fighting though?

When you have work, family, kids, other responsibilities and only 24 hours in a day, it gets pretty damn tough to prioritize this, and that's what it really needs to be, on top of your list. Sure it only takes 30min-1 hour a day, but when you rather use that time for sleep or forced to use it dealing with the family, you start trading one six pack for another.

If you're worried about your helf - a better guide than BMI for men over 30 is measure your actual waist size (not what's on your trousers), double it, and if it's greater than your height then statistics suggest you have an increased risk of diabetes, heart problem et. al.

Personally I'm just about okay if I wear double leather soles...

+1

look, this argument comes up all the time. I am not saying that it is great to be fat. it can suck to be fat.

but here's the thing - I think that this guy is going to build up all this emotion about how great it is to be thin, and how it sucks to be fat, and he is going to work like crazy for a few years at it, and then life will get in the way, and he will put on weight again, and hate himself.

now, if he were aiming at a more reasonable goal, and trying to build a more balanced life, maybe he would hold 20 % for the rest of his life.


that's what I am saying.

Of course I look fat, especially when fully clothed, but I do have a significant amount of muscle and am far stronger than the vast majority of guys I come across. It's great.
