Yes, really. If you weigh 153 pounds and need to diet you have ZERO muscle and that's a fact, not an opinion. Your definition of "not really" is ....wrong.

1) that is the worst fucking response I've ever heard. You didn't even dispute that it's not an accomplishment.

2) I'm 21 and could bench my bodyweight 18 times as of a week and a half ago, 9 months after shoulder surgery. Your age is no excuse.

MAYBE THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY EVERYONE IN YOUR UNIT WAS A SKELETON LOL

"are obsessed with being as big as you can be"

nope, I lift for strength. There's a size prerequisite for that though.

"I have no interest in bulking at the moment"

translation: "I starved for a year and now Stockholm Syndrome forms the basis for my relationship with hunger"

"not sure why this thread is so triggering for you"

partly because I get a chuckle every time I open it, partly because it's representative of a weak mindset, which disgusts me.

first, strength to weight ratio decreases (typically) with increased size, whether it's all lean or not.

second, a 1 x BW bench press is not impressive for any size.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4093606&forum_id=2#36938202)

well, you didn't say it directly in the post I responded to. I haven't read this entire thread, you know. still, you bench probably around 175-180 max. That is not so great. And you could easily do that with beginner gains (mostly neurological) and very little muscle. Strength is not 1:1 with muscle (and you aren't even strong).

if you are 8 lbs. overweight, you have a small frame and no muscle. not sure how else to explain it, there are guys that are the same height as you, 40 pounds heavier, leaner and still not very muscular.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4093606&forum_id=2#36938217)

FWIW, there are also guys the same height and weight as I who box/fight professionally. I know for a fact that paul williams was taller and lighter than I am before he lost his legs. This seems to get blown out of proportion when xo musclestuds start recounting that they're 5'6 235 and just cut 50 lbs.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4093606&forum_id=2#36938223)

Sure, but they dehydrate. Fighters usually come in 10-20 pounds heavier on fight night than at weigh-ins.

You could look good if you got in shape, but you definitely do have a small frame. There are guys who aren't muscular and aren't fatter than you that weigh a decent amount more. Your size isn't "average", you are light. See below though....if you put on some muscle it might make you look even more jacked with a small frame.

it’s nothing to be proud of. good news is bulking season is upon us. time to lift, OP

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4093606&forum_id=2#36927646)

lol, that's not a good excuse, it's an admission that you're pathetic. And only in this weak and sickly modern age have men at that weight been as weak as you certainly are.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4093606&forum_id=2#36929281)

you got everything else right. Also laughable how you shifted from the original argument (weakling => "hot take" => pathetic modern creature of weakness => "how am I weaker than others in history" => reasoning => "no shit, indiana jones").

Actually, I'm firmly in 'Christian Bale in the fighter where he's a crackhead' territory. he weighed 121 for the machinist.

dude needs to put on at least 85 lbs of fat and muscle or xo lardasses will reprimand him for being anorexic

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4093606&forum_id=2#36931721)

It's honestly amazing how much better my face looks at 195 than 235.

I'm not making fun of you for claiming to do bodyweight work, I'm laughing at you because I doubt you could finish a single set of a real bodyweight workout.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4093606&forum_id=2#36937762)

You must have VERY narrow shoulders, VERY narrow hips/ribs and ZERO muscle. not one of the above, ALL of the above.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4093606&forum_id=2#36937894)

you're never gonna be a 200+ pound guy though. not without being chubby. i can already tell just based on your current weight that you have a small frame. still, you can make the most of it and put on up to 45-50 pounds of muscle naturally over 4-5 years if you wanted. you'd look pretty jacked with a small frame at 195.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4093606&forum_id=2#36938221)

As a matter of fact I am shooting for bulking up to 170 with bodyweight exercises and slowly working up to 190 by swimming and doing a light lifting routine, over about 3-4 years. I don't foresee any issues, especially with my metabolism slowing down a bit as I get older.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4093606&forum_id=2#36938225)

You're going to want to do some free weights at some point, otherwise it's highly unlikely you'll get that big. Also, make sure to force yourself to eat enough lean protein. probably 150g/day would be enough for you to make decent progress right now.
