Alun Goch Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 If your thinking your fat because of being a little stiff, or perhaps your movement feels a little restricted, try stretching.Alun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramps Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 I am around the 6'3+ mark and weigh a mere 12 stone. I am really skinny and need to put a bit of weight on, I am sure you are just fine the way you are. Accept yourself, we all seem to accept you.

Mr_Pitbull Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Just a little thing i thought up........imagine weighing 11 Stone, strapping 3 stone to your body and doing a sidehop, Would is make a dramatic improvement to how you made the sidehop and the effort you put in? Answer is........yes of course it would. Just keep riding, eat healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rathergoodpie Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Seriously? Havn't seen you in a while but I don't remember you being that tall..... But yeah, Bigman was gonna be my example of someone who could certainly do with shifting a few pounds, but is still an awesome rider. I think its a southwest thing, the bigger you are the better the rider - Bigman, Prawn, Gary, Steve. Then theres just freaks like Andrei who don't count....Richspose i dont count as southwest anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruitbat Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 weight does next to nothing on your riding, riding is about practice and if you can practice while your a big lad you will ride well as a big lad. Im a fair size myself, but saying that i lost a stone in last few months, and when i used to ride properly i could do as much as someone 4 stone lighter than me riding for the same time period.Yeah weight will play a small part but its mainly about health, power and muslce IMOFrooty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derenkirby Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 (edited) The main thing is the muscle:fat ratio you have on your body, fat however does not help wit your riding as it doesn't do anything but weigh you down, too much muscle however will leave you getting tired on your ride a lot faster as muscle requires energy just to be on your body and weighs alot so needs energy to move itself because of its own weight.
