I guess you have to ask yourself, what is my athletic goal? Is it bodybuilding? If so, you'll need to be at least 195-210 or more for your height. Do you want to powerlift? Most top powerlifters at your height are at least 220-242 or more. Do you want to be an all-around good athlete and martial artist? Maybe add about 10-20 lbs, and give yourself a good combo of moderate aerobic work coupled with power training and flexibility work.Also, learn how to measure your bodyfat and monitor that as well as your weight to make sure you're gaining muscle and not adipose. If you really want to be cut you're going to need to be under 10% to see results.Keep in mind that increased mass will not necessarily make you more powerful. Strength and speed gains make you more powerful. Gain size, but focus on gaining strength and speed even more if you practice MA.With respect,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."

Maddwraph Posted May 23, 2006 Author Posted May 23, 2006 yeah im worried about getting bigger or slower but not stronger. i just want to get bigger, then cut down so i have a lot of muscle but not really fat. i also want to get stronger for ma.

freebird534 Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 i think for 18, your at a good body build for gaining muscle and getting cut. if u decide not to lift weights, u'll be fine either way believe you can do anything and you are limitless
