Why am I heavier than him?

[Anonymous]

My mate is the exactly the same height as me, has more muscle than me and has been lifting longer than me, yet somehow he doesn't weigh as much as me.

I weigh 210lbs and have a prett yaverage level of muscle.

He weighs 187lbs and has very obvious and good muscle.

It doesn't make sense.

I'm not fat... well not noticibly. I take care of what I eat.

It doesn't make sense to me.

Sounds like he may have more definition from working out for a longer period of time. He might also have a specific routine that helps him with his muscular physique.

Do you consume enough protein? Does he do any workouts that you don't?

You might have some fat over your muscles (not much from how it sounds though).

The reason his muscle is "very obvious" says to me that his body fat percentage is much lower. You see the muscle more when there's less fat to obscure it.

You have a bigger bone structure?
