Greetings ! I am 23 year old, male, about 150 pounds ( 68kg ), 6 feet and 2 inches ( 188 cm ). I want to start something because all day i just at home, at work or at school. I need some kind of sport. I choosed swimming because i have hemmorhoid, so i can't really lift weights or anything. Actually, i really fond of swimming.
My problem is that as you may see 150 pounds is pretty low for 6 feet and 2 inches. I want to gain some weight / muscle at least to be 72 kg or something. But i don't want to get chubby, or something. I know that swimming is more of a cardiovascular activity than muscle and mass building one but is it possible with proper food, and technique to gain weight / muscle and to reach 72 kg? What should i expect? Thanks in advance !
I'm a middle-aged female who has been swimming regularly for two years. I was already in shape and at my desired weight from 25 years of bicycling, but most of my muscle was lower body. Since taking up swimming, I have developed more muscle in my back and chest as well as more toned abs. This is without significant weight training since I really hate the weight room. The muscle I've developed is in areas that guys usually want to build (women not so much). That was a weight increase from 125 to 127.5 lbs - keeping in mind that I am female and not likely to be as muscular as a male.
