    Steve, people that tell guys they are underweight due to the amount of cycles they have done are ignorant. Weight on a scale doesn't mean shit. What matters is how you look. So many factors go into weight; height, age, bone size, etc, etc.

    Now if a guy is over 6 feet tall and under 200 with multiple cycles then there is an obvious problem.

    So you basically make a statement and then contradict it a few lines later?

    How do you figure?! lmao

    The last sentence is more of common sense, but I threw it out so the dumber people would realize there is a point where the line is drawn. Think a little bud.

    I'll ignore your second paragraph there and say, weight absolutely matters. I'll grant you that weight is not the only factor, measurements, bodyfat percentages, performance are other markers as well. But here is the thing, if you're going by how you look in the mirror, you're never going to be able to tell if you're making progress or not. Progress comes at a slow pace that you wont look noticeably different today than tomorrow. So that being said, let's fast forward a month from now, you're not going to remember what you looked like today to compare yourself to and determine if you're going in the right direction. You've been looking at yourself in the mirror every day changing so subtly that you don't notice it (not to mention a month isn't going to make too much noticeable change anyways).

    Now most people make adjustments to that 200lb marker due to the height and skeletal shape of the person. It's really just a ballpark figure.
