I lift weights 100 times everyday

Never really cared about Football, but holy crap, the Browns won a playoff game!

Can anyone tell me if 199 pounds is an normal weight for a bodybuilder?

I think that depends on how tall you are...... If you were a 3-foot dwarf, i'd say that's heavy

Fair point

Don't know about body builders, but in boxing that's a cruiserweight, second to heavyweight, or an Olympic heavyweight.

Did you know muscle weighs more than fat does?

A pound of muscle and a pound of fat weigh the same, the difference between the two is density.

Totally. A pound ia a unit of weight, and a pound is always a pound, if it's feathers or steel.

Due to the density, a person of a given size who has a higher muscle percentage on their body will be heavier than someone who is the exact same size but with a higher fat percentage.

As an extreme example, a pound of feathers takes up a lot more space than a pound of steel, but they weigh the same

That's what I mean... Oops.

Hey, wait a minute! I never said a pound of this vs. a pound of that! I should have specified a unit of volume, like a cup or gallon to make things a bit clearer. If we're gonna be really technical, a pound is not a unit of weight: it's a unit of mass.

Gonna stop now before the nerdiness takes away whatever manliness I have left.

Actually, a pound is a unit of weight, and more specifically force. The imperial unit of mass is the less well known slug.
