Over the last year or so, I have gained size in my pecs/shoulders and legs. Everyone constantly comments how i look “bigger” quite regularly. Every once in a while a couple of people will say I look like i’ve put on a bit of weight. When I ask people how much they think I weigh, almost everyone will say 170-180.
My real weight is 152, and has barely increased over past while.
So whats the reason behind this? Im not trying to brag in any sort of way, just interested in knowing.
Someone told me it could be a lacking muscle or something. Thats not it, because my back, etc. are all up to par…
Someone else told me it could be low bone density? Doesnt make sense to me, because genetically, my family members have had no bone problems in their elder years, if anything I have above average bone density. Calcium intake is quite high as well.
Now I know people dont have faulty judgement, because when I stand beside someone of the same weight as me, I look bigger than they do. Then standing beside someone 20 pounds heavier, I look as big as they do very easily.
The leaner and more muscular you become, the bigger you look, even if your actual weight does not change. Just look at my avatar! Can you believe I only weigh 89lbs.?!?!?
