I don't work out. It puts too much strain on my body. I actually pulled a muscle in my left arm when I tried to lift a dumbel once.

You should still work out. Everyone should. But just don't put to much strain on yourself. Like trying to go for a 300 pond dumbbell is dumb.

Thats cool, but you can still start slow. Starting out with 33 pounds is alot.

Yeah, and on top of that, I don't really have much upper arm strength. I do have strong shoulders though.

Everyone starts somewhere. When I first started working out both my muscle strength and cardio were straight up horrible. I couldn’t run for more than a minute without getting tired and as for muscle, I won’t even explain it lol.

What kind of workout were you doing?

I don't have much muscle or even excess body fat. I'm about 130cm tall and weigh about 54kg, and I've maintained that weight for about 4 years. But when I run, I RUN. If I have the energy and am determined, I can run pretty fast.

My Cardio is disgusting. Its further held back by my asthma.

That’s pretty good. Do you eat much or not quite?

Ahh that’s unfortunate but at least you still find a way to stay fit.

That’s good, make sure to also keep tabs on dieting. Dieting is always more important than even the workout itself.

I'll tell you the short version-I love food. I eat not a lot, and not too little. I've been told that my metabolism's the reason I don't seem to put on weight much. But then you have my 13-year-old brother, who's younger than me, but he is taller, heavier, and has actual bicep muscles.

Ahh fast metabolism, yeah that’s a real problem and I know some people with similar issues. Maybe instead of trying to bulk on calories try taking ore protein in.

You mean more protein? Like meats and stuff? Ok.

Yeah meat, eggs or even protein supplements. Out of those three I would say the safest are eggs, especially raw eggs.

I'm trying to get back down to 12% body fat but it's tough after quarantine.

That’s some pretty awesome consistency. What is your bf percentage now? And do you really want to get as low as 12%, wouldn’t 14% be better? I guess everyone has their preference for their looks but 14 would have a bit of a better mass to it.

I'm a big dude and my body stores fat mostly in my lower stomach and obliques. So my abs dont really start to show until I get that low. (Im 6 ft and 215 lbs) I was 18% last time I checked. But I'd still be proud to hang out around 14%. I just like to shoot for the stars and see how far I can go lol

Ultimately I'd rather just be in the best shape I can be than any body fat goal, but its motivating diet wise to have one. And considering how much I love mac n cheese LOL

Check out Remington James on YouTube btw. Hes got some good recipes for healthy food that tastes good.
