I am a 16 year old guy, and I have a 28 1/2" waist, and my upper arms are about 10" around, and my rists are about 7" around. I eat a lot, it's not like I starve myself or anything, or is this just how I am. Thanks.
Answer:go to gym buddy, you will make your day
yeah, go to burger king
At your age I had a 32 in waist and 16 in arms. Time for you to "get pumped!"
Nope. That's all part of being a teenage boy. You're probably right in the middle of your first growth spurt. You'll get taller then in a few years, around 19 or 20, you;ll start to fill out and begin to get a little shoulder width and bulk
you know the story of Lilliput who once went to an island where he was greeted by islanders who are giants where Lilliput was Pygmy and on other occasion he was giant.. and islanders were Pygmies..
so every where relatively you will feel skinny and giant. but do not feel heartless. you accept your self as nature made you. and take care of your body . remain healthy . eat wholesome food. avoid intoxicants, maintain routine of exercise , food work , and rest regularly and you have years to go. you will notice the change within six months
report after six months.
wats ur weight ??
Don't worry about it. When my husband and I got married, he had a 28" waist and is 5'10", so you can imagine how skinny he was. Now that he's 53, he has a 36" waist. He was skinny all his life and he ate like a pig. I'm not kidding, this guy would eat every 2 hrs. He just has a very active metabolism. As long as you're healthy, eating a good diet and not fast food, don't worry, you will eventually put on some weight. Do what the first guy who answered said, go to the gym and build up your muscles. Don't do what the other girl said and go to Burger King, that's junk food that will only clog up your arteries. You should see the picture of my husband when he was your age, He looked like a stick with 2 legs, But he looks darn fine now.
At that age I was thinner than you. You will be alright. Eat healthy and keep fit, that is more important!
DAMN BOY!! You got some pretty mad metabolic rates. I am studying to become a doctor so i am studying metabolic diseses right now (i'm 14) and i would work out, eat reguraly, and sleep well.
No, youre not too skinny. I was probably just as skinny when I was that age. I could also out eat every one in my class. But I was a runner, had a fast metabolism and was going through a growth spurt. But if youre worried about it u can go to GNC or some fitness store and buy weight gainer and start lifting weights.
Brad, you are thin by nature...count your blessings. There will come a day when those around you will be fighting weight and you won't be. BUT, that doesn't help out today. You need to do some wieght lifting and do it right. If you know anyone who works out, ask them how, when, and about form. Start and stick with it 3 times a week only. You are at an age where you can develop quickly. Do it. 10" arms are not going to wow the gals over.
