Spring Roster Is Up.

so skinny he has to run around in the shower to get wet.

but in actuality being lean it is a blessing as i tell my own children.  all of them are lean-beans, and the 5 boys love football beyond description.  i don't think any of them will be thick though, at least not until well into their 20's.   as much as we prize these big guys, the burden and weight most of them carry the rest of their lives is brutal.  my freshman year training camp at U of M i was the youngest, smallest guy on the team but i finally started to gain weight and grow then.  still didn't get full height until my early 20's, nor weight until late 20's. 

Holy cow, I'm 6'5" 230 and I'm still on the skinnier side.

Do you have organs? I'm 5'3" 140 and wear 28 waist pants.

That is almost terrifyingly-thin.  I now have this vision in my head.

Man, thought I was bad at 6'5" 170

but my natural weight is the 160s. I've never once hit 170 & I'm 5-10. I'm about 150 right now because I go through phases where I have zero appetite. Liquids are fine but food gags me (mainly when the Summer heat hits & depression phases).~~~~~ Phase or not, if I'm not eating 4k+ calories a day I lose weight! I'm a hard gainer so when I have to fix it I crush homemade shakes packed with proteins, fat, etc & eat like crazy. The shakes are aided by supplements & I force eat just to get back to the 160s. I eat to the feeling of pulling and force more. Pretty soon it's nothing but the stomach stretching sucks ha.~~~~~ It's my natural metabolism but wrestling in school may have played a hand regarding having to make weight by starving or gorging if bumping up a class. My Mother had 5 kids, is 5-5, 100lbs (tops) & can eat whatever. Fast food, brownie mix, etc & not gain a pound lol.~~~~~ So, I think it's mainly genetic. I'm fit/toned for my size, not a large man, never will be & it doesn't bother me. ~~~~~~ I'll never say it's the same struggle as genetically heavy folk finding it impossible to lose weight. People that eat themselves to obesity are one thing but those that gain a pound by eating an apple or smelling a cookie are another. I feel for them, the genetically large. Yet, it is really hard when you can eat 4-7k calories a day at 155lbs & the scale doesn't move up for a couple weeks. Society is hard on the large so it's not the same pain but it's not fun, either.

I'm super jealous of you. At 6'4" 170 was about as low as I could go without feeling terrible everyday and running slower.
