Well then who's the smart one here? If you are 5'11" 165-ish, you are better off than your friends. Carrying about extra weight is not a life goal. At least it shouldn't be.

If you stopped lifting you will loss muscle mass. Quite often, that gets turned into fat. But you seem to have not allowed that to happen. That's actually commendable, and not so easy. Usually when lifting a person would have a higher than normal calorie intake. When they stop, the continue to eat the same. They lose muscle mass and gain fat. You did the hard thing. Good on ya!

I have a friend who is almost 6ft2 and weights 224 pounds and teased me on new years eve and was implying that i was weak. mind you he is mostly fat but he does go to the gym as well.

Another thing as well is that this whole dieting to maintain muslce mass is a mystery to me?????

Kick his fat buttery ass.

Or don't worry so much about it.

Why do you care so much about what these so called friends think about your strength? Good god man, if that's what is most important to them then they are shallow, testosterone driven neanderthals. Maybe you just need new friends.

Yeah Wavefreak i mean there just so obssesed with strength and compete against each ohter. Its just sad and dorky really. LOL they claim to be street fighters when they could not even beat up a paper bag.

i think i am just lucky to have friends so i think i will stick with them anyway since i have known all of them for 9-10 years now.
