gnasher16 30,217 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Kids are definately taller but they are also getting heavier.....thankfully its trendy these days for groups of lads to get down the gym regardless of sport so you tend to see better built kids carrying much better musculature than when we was young.....any physique over about 6 ft 3 - 6 ft 4 is always going to look ungainly unless the person has freakishly good genetics wide shoulders slim waist etc but theres no unhealthy size and shape its normally the mind thats unhealthy. Im a tiny fraction under 6 foot and around 19 stone these days.....not quite as low bodyfat as in the past but still in decent nick for an old fat boy Just out of curiosity,I know you do a lot of weights,how do you find the more advanced bodyweight exercises? 1 armed press ups,various types of pull ups and pistols? Just wondering if it's true big people find them much harder. my brother's about 20 stone at 6'11 and very fit for his size,he can run our weekly 5 miler in less than 30 mins,but struggles to even rattle off 10 pressups,let alone a one armed one. I dont lift anywhere near as heavy as i used to but my core strength was always good......something like a 1 armed press up is more about tendon strength and solid structure rather than muscle contraction so i always did well in bodyweight exercises.....id imagine your brother would struggle with them as he would with the static lifts like squat and deadlift......not all but a lot of very tall people tend to be weak in the back for obvious reasons......at that height your base is all off balance but like you say no reason he cant be a strong fit person and good luck to him.

But look at few others there just tall with big strong frames , just look at (sonny bill Williams ) of the all blacks 6ft 4ins 17 1/2st not any fat on just solid lump , I was watching program on the all blacks , and he lifting weights with the others in the gym , and very powerful bloke got a small waist like you say, he used box pro as well. you wouldn't mess with him or the others in the all blacks, them Samoan people are naturally strong, think sonny bill as white mother when I was reading about him .

dare 1,103 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Dare That Ale your supping nowdays will be putting it on your middle . Keep it in check My matabolizm was ok then at 35 seemed to slow And again around 40 45 coming up next and it's getting fecking hard Back Shoulder Other shoulder not do good Both Achillies tight as fook on a morn With one having a lump on it the size of a large pea My knees ache My inside of my foot near to big toe is fooked Think I broke it in May on my Hols If I make old bones I will be well goosed unless I start really looking after myself a bit more Yeah harder to keep it off as you get older. Do you find you take care of your body more as you get older though? Only ive meet people who have got into things such as bike riding ect and all have said they wished they done it earlier. I only drink on the weekends and not every weekend. I do think i was fitter though when i kept staffs, cant put the miles in with this mutt i got here. Wouldnt ever let myself get fat being honest its because of my love for women though more than health lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
