202 lookinh like 215???

[RockyIII]

i am 5'6", 202 pounds... IMO i look exactly 202, however everybody around me who does not know me always asumes i am in the 215 range. it's kind of flattering and all, but what really makes a trainee appear heavier/bigger than what he really weighs?

low bodyfat percentage. I have competive bodybuilders ask me if i am 250 when i was only 210 

[I_Dont_Bench]

so it all comes down to bodyfat %? what about the size of your joints? i mean i dont think i have flex wheeler joints but maybe that is the main factor that fools people into guessing a higher bodyweight?

[alexxx]

ya a lot of things come into play like bone structure and muscle bellies.

ok let me ask u this... would a guy that usually looks to people heavier than what he really is do generally better at a bbing contest than a guy who is actually at the weight people think he really is at?

no because people who think your heavier than you are just see you as a big guy. They don't no much. Judges at contests know and can see the difference.....I think.

Wow, that's a huge difference

I can see weighing 202, and someone thinking you're 205, or maybe even 210....but 215?
That's outrageous. 

That's like someone thining a 187lb guy looks like 190lbs!

Being short like you are helps give the illusion.
