My son is about 5'10" but only 142. When he turns sideways you can no longer see him. He's about half way through his 15th year. He eats like a madman. Maybe he's got one heckuva tapeworm.
He's touching 80 on Stalker and I can't help but wonder what he'd be doing if he were 30 pounds heavier. I have heard that the body grows 'up' before it turns to growing 'out'. He's very loose, limber, and whip-like, so we don't do a lot with weights at all, but he runs, runs, runs, and does quite a bit of core stuff like med-balls and plyos/agility, along with tubing.
Please share your skinny-kid stories so I can relax!! He just seems TOO DANG SKINNY!!
