Gym/Bodybuilding

Not at all, but i am going alot by foot. Somedays several kilometers.
Dont own a car, dont want to either. I go everywhere by foot or train.

I weight at 63 kg, at 172 cm. Just throwing it out.

While we're throwing out measurements, I'm 195~ cm and 80~ kg

why are you such a giant?

unfortunately my genes dictates that my height is 165-166. And since ive started ive gain roughly 6kg of fat and muscle so now im at 61kg.

Anyone who is over 180 cm is a potential basketball player here.

True to my name (and my lack of physical activity) I'm at 113 kg and 183 cm. Funny to see how little everyone is. Kinda makes me wanna rip through my shirt and HULK-SMASH my way through the lot of ya =D

A non-related question though: East-Asians (by sterotype, but it seems to be a true one) tend to be shorter on the average than most others throughout the world. Presumably, throughout the course of human history the largest and most successful males were the most attractive, and thus reproduced the most, granting us a general increase in stature over time. I wonder if there was a circumstance in East-Asian countries where the smaller fellows were the ones that were most attractive and able to procreate most, and that's why they're generally shorter? Or if it's geographically related, or both?

Ya'll are in college or already finished with it, and I feel like this might be within your field of study, NigerianRulz? Is there a definitive answer behind this?

I did post a report on human height and race, and it turns out us Asians lack more genes than any other races, which also affects our height. Less genes = less height gained.

i can probably give you a lecture on males/females attractiveness and everything that comes with it if you
there is no DEFINITE answer but there are ways to navigate around that. May i ask are you good/average with women? I'll be to first to admit, about 2 years ago i would've been the most shy, frigid guy you would know, not anymore.

Wished some controlled factors were implemented by nature.

It depends, some east-asians grow up to be on the tall side, im the tallest person in my family, its all about the stuff you did while you were a kid that promoted stuff like growing, and most importantly, eating will make you grow also. And theres no secret to getting muscle and working all, all you have to do is just do it, find some music and DO IT. Magically, stuff happens :O

while nutrients and exercises at an early age will help promote growth, probably about 85% of your height is determined by your genes.
Building muscles can be about genes too, everyone have their strengths and weakness in terms of their muscle groups which is determine by genes e.g. your abs. But that shouldn't discourage anyone from BUILDING SOME ROCK HARD MUSCLASSS

I weight only about 70kg with a size of 175cm, does that count as skinny?

I'd guess you'll become skinny when you lose about 10 kg, but it's hard to say
