I feel the same way at 5'10" 180.

I think we got body dysmorphia.

Either that or I have a 30 lb tumor somewhere. *knocks on wood*
For real though. I see other people who are swole af my height and they weigh 165 and I look skinnier than them.

It's the same way I :mjlol: every time someone on the coli tell me that they're 6'4 230lbs like that means shyt :mjlol:

It's all about body composition.

I'm supposed to believe everyone on the coli is as fit as me, when the general population is :flabbynsick: yet somehow, on the internet of all places, everyone is 6'4 230 lbs of pure muscle :camby:

example: The State vs 606OnIt - you on trial breh :whew:

Prolly because most of your weight is in your lower body. I'm almost the same weight and height but I'm very top heavy :francis:
yep, I'm the same, I don't have massive arms per se, but I'm still 5'9-5'10 at 200lbs. Most of it, is in my lower body, because I still have a very narrow waist and flat stomach

No I don't think I look skinny but most people think I weigh less then I do. Most people will say I look lean. I rarely if ever get people saying I look skinny.
i get "your so skinny". "you slim". "you need to eat more".

:dahell:

how sway? i lift weights too and don't get big

Yeah it's weird. I do a lot of obstacle course training and ninja warrior training and I get a lot of "it must be harder cause you're big".

I don't even lift weights(all calisthenics) but I bulk up quick. I do feel overweight and am working to lose ten more pounds.

I depends on your body type. If you're ectomorphic, then 180lbs is ideal for that frame. Mesomorphic is around 190 and endomorphic is about 200. There's not much you can do(unless you wanna torture your body) other than wait until your metabolism starts slowing down(when you get older).

I'm 5'11 and endomorphic. My goal is to get to 195lbs. At this height and weight, I'm not too lean to the point I look sickly and also underweight so I can eat the same amount I'm accustomed without feeling like I'm starving myself.

A lot of it is visual illusion of certain areas/muscle groups.

If you have that V shape you will look bigger to people's subconscious mind than someone shaped like | | or / \.

In pictures it has to do with lighting, angles and shadows.

In person it has to do with the mind subconsciously filling in details rather than examining detail in depth.
