Theguns has a spectacular aura about
Default Size vs. Weight

So somethings has been on my mind and i was wondering if someone new what was up. Why is two people at the same height and same weight can look totally different? For example my friend and I are both 17 years old, 5 foot 11 and roughly 155 lbs. Now im nott jacked by any means but i have a decent athletic build and it looks like i have some average meat on me. He on the other hand looks like he has never even drove past a gym, yet somehow we are the same weight.
Now i understand theres bodyfat percentage and all that, but take UFC fighters (or any fighting sport) They sometimes come out with 2 guys same height, same weights, same reach, yet one fighter clearly has a size advantage. Whats the deal?

muscle mass/density has a lot to do with it also. Muscle, heavier than fat, can be more dense on one person, than the other. Rarely at that age, as I'm referring to "aged muscle" on people that have been lifting for years and years. Or my case, centuries and centuries.

yeah, I agree with muscle density.
It can be due to bone density also
