    Is It Possible

    Is it Possible for me to be underweight and still have alot of bodyfat on me... I am really underweight but still have alot of bodyfat on me as i am 5'7 and weigh 123 i seem well underweight although i have alot of bodyfat on me and it leaves the perception that i am fat... What can i do to solve this? If i bulk i will get alot of muscle but it will be hidden under the layer of fat that i have and no i am not lying i do have alot of fat on me... If i cut it would probably take me to be around 110 to not see alot of body fat and a little muscle but that is not a healthy size for me.

    you are in the same spot a lot of us were in when we were young. that`s why we starting lifting weights.
    my advise......eat as much protein/calories (good sources) as you can and lift 6 days a week. keep your workouts as simple as possible. in a couple of years you will look like a different person.

    You don't have that much fat on you at your height and weight. It's impossible. It just seems that way because you have such little muscle. Don't worry, just bulk, and you will start to look leaner.
    On the individual:

    His responses grow intelligent, or gain meaning, simply because he lives and acts in a medium of accepted meanings and values. Through social intercourse, through sharing in the activities embodying beliefs, he gradually acquires a mind of his own. The conception of mind as a purely isolated possession of the self is at the very antipodes of the truth.

    - John Dewey


    All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusion is called a philosopher.

    ~Ambrose Bierce

    i started just like you at the same age and was very weak and then i did wrestling...which also got me into lifting just learn to eat healthier for one...i used to get made fun of and called man tits...then i lost all the fat after wrestling and track and next thing i knew kids where saying how skinny i was...and since then ive never really gained that much fat even when i do eat unhealthy and not exercise...im not saying thats what you should do but im guessing it is possible your choice of eating is bad which i know mine was...learn to eat healthier which i didnt learn to do for even a couple years after i got in lifting and what not if you want to see your results faster not to mention you'll feel over all healthier

    My brother use to be just like you, what i would do is not worry to much about fat covering muscle, just start eating right and begin some simple workouts everyother day of the week.
