I'm 5'7", maybe a smidge taller. The last time I was at the doctor's in July for a sinus infection, I tipped the scales at 173 pounds. According to the body-mass index thingy, I'm morbidly obese. But I have a 30 inch waist and a 45 inch chest. Buying clothes is difficult. My height says I should wear a medium shirt but I end up wearing large shirts and they are baggy. But the neck holes in medium shirts are too small and my shoulders are big enough that I end up looking like I'm wearing one of those "babydoll tees" that girls wear. So I wear large shirts and baggy pants because they are more comfortable. They make me look skinnier than I am.
I may be a little on the small side height wise but pictures are deceiving, especially that one since the speakers are so big. If I do wear a medium shirt that doesn't look small, it looks like I'm some 'roid rager trying too hard to impress people. And now I sound like I'm bragging but I'm not. I'm just in good shape. I keep up with it for not only good health reasons but when I'm working on the diesel stuff, the parts are much, much heavier than car parts. Brake drums literally weigh 10 times as much for a Mack as they do for an F-150. If you are out of shape, the work will kick your ass fast. You get tired working with stuff that heavy and start slacking off, you'll get hurt. I don't want to get hurt.
