How Heavy is your Heavybag

5'10"/11" 130 lbs. 80 or 100 pound bag.

 

Eat food. Boxer or not, that's way underweight.

 

Yeah, 5'11 at 130 sounds kind of unhealthy..

 

damn and I thought I was skinny (same height, 150lbs).

 

Im 145 5'6 or 7', I don't have a bag of my own, but always like the heaviest bag at my gym.

 

mine is 50 kg which is around 120 pounds i think. It's a full length one for boxing and Kickboxing

 

i just reach 6'2 and weigh 66 - 68kg

 

Hey, it happens. I'm about 5'9'' and 125. Trust me, I eat more than enough. Some people's metabolism's are off the charts. I try hard as hell to gain weight and I swear it's just not going to happen. Funny thing is, I eat properly and work out regularly, so I look healthy. Most of my friends are shocked to hear my weight, even if they've seen me without a shirt.

I used to weigh about 10 pounds more, and then I moved into the city, where I walk everywhere (also the same time that I got rid of junk from my diet).... a year later I found myself ten pounds lighter.

I seriously believe a huge part of it is that I've never been a big drinker. Seems that I had a lot of friends about 5-6 years ago who were about my size, then we all went off to college, they drank themselves stupid, and now they've put on a lot of excess weight.

 

5'9" at 150 pounds. I don't have a bag myself, the one I use at the gym is probably about 100 pounds.

 

I've heard this so many times, it's such a poor excuse. When I asked the last guy who claimed he eats everything in sight and doesn't gain weight what he eats on an average day he told me:

"Um, well, I skip breakfast, go to Mcdonalds for dinner then later on the night I'll eat some chicken and something"

You obviuosly don't eat "more than enough" if you don't gain weight. Post your daily diet and we'll see.

 

I agree. About half the people claiming it are smokers on top of having a **** diet.

 

my bag is 500 pounds. You should feel my power bitches

 

I definitely don't smoke.

All I know is that I feel that I eat enough (and my diet isn't ****) and this weight feels natural to me. I'm not saying that I'm not thin, all I'm saying is that it's unfair to automatically label someone unhealthy just because the dude said he was 5'10'' and 130.

 

I decided to check out at what point someone is officially deemed underweight, because I wasn't sure. According to the Wikipedia entry for "underweight," underweight is usually classified as having a BMI of 18.5 or less, always give or take, depending on the person. Normal can be anywhere from 18.5 to 25. According to the chart provided there, I'm at exactly 18.5. So is JMonster. We're borderline, but assuming we're eating well and exercising, I think we could both be considered healthy.


I know Wikipedia isn't exactly a fool-proof source. I'm interested in hearing what others feel about this.
