Title: Bodyweight distribution
Post by: Thin Lizzy on April 27, 2007, 12:10:56 PM

Google wasn't any help on this.

Take a typically built 180lb man. How much of this weight is above/below the waist?

dunno 50/50 ?!
arnold must've been 80/20 though  ;)
most people that wanna gain weight could add quite a few pounds on their lower body if they started working their legs more seriously.

myself i think its pretty evenly distributed but then my upper body and lower are about the same length, some people have longer lower bodies for example

i think i'd actually fit into that category. and i'd have to say for me its 55%upper 45% lower. but as bluto said if you take leg training more seriously there's a lot of potential for weight there.

Do you think its harder to keep 50/50 if your tall?
