Hi guys,

Am fairly new to strength training (less than 1 year), with my lifestyle, i go to the gym as often as i can 2-3 times a week, and if i cant, i'll just do simple bodyweight workouts at home such as push ups, sit ups, wall handstand pushups. (been away from the gym for 2 months and only started going again 2 weeks ago due to personal matter)

I am 166-168cms tall and weigh 72-74kgs (this depends when i weight myself, after or before lunch etc)

Even with that weight, i am not muscular nor am i big like other people who weigh the same (ppl who train/bodybuilds).
Am not sure where the weight comes from, could be from fats or maybe heavy bones? (i did hear from my auntie who's a doctor who told me that ppl in my family tend to weigh heavier than we look due to our bones...in fact, most of us cant even float)

My situation is when i go to the gym, people who see my body tells me to gain more mass and then cut, while some who look at my weight, tells me to lose weight first, then only should i train.

My question is that, which should i do? I am afraid if i lose weight first, i'd be too skinny.

Will post pics soon when i get back and take some.

thanks

Just don't do this at Fitness First on the Tanita scales--they rig them to try and sell PT services to you (the scale at my FF said I was 50% fat, when I'm closer to like, 30% fat).
