> I think a 6 foot man who is under 125 pounds is underweight. Umm, I don't know? A couple of weeks ago? I guess I am underweight by the BMI measure, but I've been like that all my life and my BMI now is higher than ever so I don't really worry about it. > Also, your legs aren't "big" if you weight less than 125 pounds. That's true, I meant relative to other muscles. All exercise I do do is primarily legs, so it may be better to focus on the rest as my legs get exercised during running & cycling. The upper body is also more important visually ;) > It doesn't work that way. I understand, but it's good to have a ballpark figure to see if something is going to be effective or not. For example if I do 30 push ups, is that going to help or is it better to add an extra weight at that point? Edit: I just filled my backpack with as many books as possible (that's probably about 30-40 pounds) and I can do 28 push ups, but then I'm completely weak for a few minutes. So would you suggest doing this exercise, or get a better weight? Thanks for the links! |
