LOL. I feel the same way.

I think the problem is the illusion of television. I’m 6’1" at 188 lbs with 12% body-fat. Harldy a greek god, but I weigh more and am taller than most of the guys that fight; however, their b.f. percentage and the illusion of the T.V. makes them look bigger. Look at Tom cruise and Russel Crowe on the movies. I probably dwarf them in actual size.

Bluesman, when I was 18 I weighed 170lbs and had 7% b.f. The sad thing is that I used to think I was too skinny, now I’d kill to get back down to that weight and b.f.

Tom Cruise Maplethorpe III, lived in Louisville for a while. A guy that I carpool with said that he is 5’7" at the most. His family is wealthy and that his dad was moved a lot with his job. He had one class with him and said the dude was just a normal guy. Didn’t say much and only hung with a few that lived near him.
