Now, at 27 (28 in May), I'm about 190. I think it's a matter of metabolism slowing down. Now, instead of trying to gain weight, I'm trying to lose 5 pounds and I have to watch what I eat (no more fast food 2 days in a row). In about a year, I expect you'll be in the same boat.

damn 700? i can barely do 20 hahahaha,, i used to lift at the gym but they didnt have free weights only the machines from which i've heard they are not that great but yea i did that for about 3 -4 months 2 hours a day 4 days a week and not much improvment
