I was Benjamin's size (6'3" around 160) from age 18-39. Then something happened - a fractured pelvis, broken hip, stopped smoking, rehab, working out, etc. Now I do everything I can on a bike and with weights to keep myself right at 200 lbs. This seems to have helped by playing tremendously. I am actually a doubler (bass trombone, tuba, tenor trombone, euphonium in that order) and I find the extra weight makes shifting from one horn to the other far less of an issue. I'm still thin and quite lean, but not "skinny for a skinny guy".

For whatever its worth.

Mark
