26. I have a photo to prove it.
However I'm thicker with higher body fat but stronger than I was then too. So I'd say that in comparison to then and now, I cancel things out between the two different bodies.
I'm working in reigning things back in but....
This is so true.
However, people can still get their body right, they just have to put in more effort and finding what works for them and their body. I'm working on my IIFYM numbers now.

When I was 27/28 I was performing in a touring show where I had to dance topless, and in addition to the gym, the show itself was a helluva workout. Im still no gym slouch, but I was lookin pretty dope then.

As far as working out, you have to do that for you if you want to. You will never be able to please other people with a nice body. Even the ideal types get cheated on and done wrong. People either accept you as you are or not.

I've never had it. Trying to get there now and think I can be pretty close to a satisfying shape within a year. I was closest about 2 years ago at 28. I was significantly overweight for most of my life and finally got close to a recommended weight (by medical professionals, not my family) for once by changing dietary habits and being a bit more active. Dropped my clothing sizes and had less of a curvy shape for the first time.
That was cool. I was just at the upper barrier of average weight and trying to go lower yet some expressed concern, possibly because my once chubby-cheeked face looked slightly gaunt. Mom asked me to see a doctor when I had and he was happier about my weight than he'd ever been. One friend subtly inferred that he wondered if I was sick.
I think for some of them overweight is the new average and obese is their fat. They'd tell a healthy lean person that they're skinny. Reminds me of some commenters on this video saying the guy in the L2BF shirt isn't fat or just husky, which I thought most would question when he takes it off around 7:07.
There are people in much worse shape and he looks like he may have a decent amount of muscle--kinda like a more out of shape version of Prince Fielder, the baseball player that did the ESPN body issue--but I think the number of terms used to describe various overweight states and the different ways some use them has made the meanings of fat/thick/curvy/husky/chubby/cornfed/beefy/"a few extra" somewhat nebulous. Maybe my people just prefer a somewhat hefty build. They see it regularly in our extended family, at work and in their friends.

@NickAuzenneNOLA I don't know what you're complaining about you're doing better than most on here. If I can get to where you're at now I'll be a happy camper. I've slimmed down so much from 220 to 185 in 2015. I have lean muscle gains but still have some body fat so I just want to get shredded. As much as grad school allows because anything medical is not easy but I still see some medical students and other allied health students here that are SH*TT*N ON N*GGAS! lol. I don't know their stories. Maybe they were athletes? Maybe they just grasp materials quicker? Not sure.Cyrus-Brooks, NickAuzenneNOLA, SB3 and 1 other person dapped this.
