What body type are you?

[swansonj]

Teef, you made a middle-aged woman so very happy. If you could squeeze one of them into your luggage for the return journey, please and thanks *sigh*

Oh - which older female friend of yours is that then, Wanda?

funny how we often do not see ourselves as other do.

Yes, I described myself as "slim", I thought I was, but the evidence suggests otherwise.

Hadn't realised Croydon looked that good in the sunshine..........

I'm a hard gaining skinny fat ectomorph with some mesomorph bits. I really struggle to pack on the muscle

well that's nice and clear, I think I need a 3BM translation here

Oh and given enough time, effort and willpower I could slim down to the Sumo shape

My body is a temple. An old, crumbling ruined one

Interesting pic of the Sumo F.M. I remember watching avidly in the 90's..Channel 4? with all that salt throwing etc.. Massively technical and dedicated profession. What happens to 'retired' Rikishi? Surely they can't all go off and become 'managers' of their own team, so to speak. Training quarters would have to get bigger and bigger! Can't see them doing a Beckham and modelling underpants and socks either.

The top ones do tend to go on to roles in the sport, but many use their fame and money to start businesses (of all kinds). A lot used to die relatively young but many lose weight carefully and successfully these days. Some, as in any sport, can't hack the outside world. I saw a very sad program about the Hawaian former Grand Champion, Akebono, who, having been throroughly humiliated in K1 (mixed martial arts) and having lost most of his money, is now making a poor living in the lower ranks of pro-wrestling as a 'villain'. It doesn't help that he's foreign and has always had a reputation as a bad boy and isn't very bright, but it's very sad. In contrast, Konishiki, also Hawaian, who was the biggest sumo wrestler ever to be in the top division, is now a very popular children's TV presenter here (one of my son's favourites), and also tours doing Hawaian music - he seems like a very well-balanced and happy guy. Here's a picture of Konishiki in the ring facing a much smaller wrestler, and then a picture of him on the NHK kids' show, Nihongo de Asobo:

^Thanks FM Konishiki rings a bell (yes, I know it sounds silly) for me. I always wondered how hard their vital organs were working at any given time...a lot of surface for the heart to feed!

I reckon I look a bit like Bob Kennedy (but with a bit more belly) but I could be wrong...

Yes you could! So! Picture...

Rythmic gymnast, which is a bit worrying for a 57 year old overweight bald bloke, funny how we often do not see ourselves as other do.

I think pretty much everyone seeing me would concur that I am a cross between the weightlifter (powerlifter) and the sumo guy.

 

[cyberknight]

Pretty much like the triathlete now with bigger thighs as i have lost a lot of upper body strength from my former physique, from the mid late 90s

@User1314 - you are unhappy he's emptying the bottle?
