Bah.

Post #22,916 by admin 1/2/02 8:09:52 PM Reply	Bah. What about a group for those of us with the opposite problem?? ;-) BMI of 19... I almost wasn't on that chart that Wade posted. Body fat around 3%. I'm too damned skinny by far. Regards, -scott anderson

Post #22,925 by admin 1/2/02 11:17:58 PM Reply	Re: Bitch :-) It's as much of a problem as the other direction, weight-wise, whether you want to believe that or not. :-) Regards, -scott anderson
Post #22,927 by Meerkat 1/2/02 11:32:10 PM Reply	Yep, I beleive it. I just had to take a swipe at someone who stays thin no matter what. I think it's an obligation of Team Lardarse :) A metabolism that's out of whack in either direction is a hassle. Well, how about an exchange. Liposuction vs Lipoimplant. Ew. I shouldn't say anything that might put you off your food. On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.

Is my metabolism too fast?] - from 1982. The most straightforward explanation is that people who have a hard time gaining weight (what we refer to as ectomorphs) simply have fewer muscle and fat cells to absorb the extra bulk than more athletic types. Fortunately, tests have shown that weight training can add new muscle cells, a process called hyperplasia. This is a lot more work than simply strengthening existing muscle cells, admittedly, but you can take some comfort in the fact that the new muscle cells stay with you all your life, even if you knock off weight training later on. Arnold has some tips for you. :-) Cheers, Scott.

When I stopped the exercise, I lost the weight. :-P Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

Maybe we could work on one of those pods from "the fly"...you could have half of my excess and maybe that would keep you on the ground in a stiff breeze ;-) For those wanting to know...5'9, 245...target 200.
