You know what kind of gets to me. People being classed in a certain group because of what they weigh.
I'm seeing it all the time. Its like a generalised statement. Like all guys over 200lbs being called meatheads. Like every guy who weighs a buck 60 must have the exact same story, the struggling teen who does a bulker/cutter bs crap and follows a new routine every month, looking up the new secrets in flex and thinks pounding down the junk food is gonna make them big.
I'm here to say generalised statements like that get to me. Its like ok all good and well I know that most guys 150-180 are gonna be those striving to be and are probably struggling and inexperienced. But not everyone is cut from the same cloth.
Its not always as simple as people make it out to be. I dont want to come out sounding like I'm bitching, whining, complaining or even look like an idiot. But for some of us its not jus as simple as once you've learned what it takes just apply it. I'm a guy who went from 240 to 140 and at 140 still holding enough fat not to see veins or seperation or even abs after that kind of fat loss. 5 years and I dont know how much muscle gain and even more fat loss later the progress shows. I firmly believe I've gained 35-40lbs of muscle yet still lie in that 160-170 range cause of the increased fat loss. So being in that buck 60, buck 70 range I'd be classed as an inexperienced guy afraid of gaining fat and having trouble gaining muscle right? Sometimes when you make big changes mental factors still stay the same and stop you from reaching your full potential.
I'm sorry if it sounds like a bitch or a rant, even a cry for which it most certainly is not. I just wanted to voice my thoughts and say that not everyone can be judged by what they weigh. A 200+lb guy may be intelligent, spit out well articulated sentences and be extremely well mannered/well spoken. And 160lb guy may not be just another wannabe.
