Some of youse need to go eat a sammich or 3.

Fucking skinny bastards!

Wait...on second thought...stay skinny. That makes more room for my fat ass on airplanes!

 

[MagickMan]

6' 3", 238lbs, 34" waist. BMI charts are a load of shit.

 

[norseamd]

6' 3", 238lbs, 34" waist. BMI charts are a load of shit.

of course they are

the bmi and even the body fat percentage vary from ethnicity to ethnicity

 

[MagickMan]

6'6" 272, up 72 lbs since I started lifting in January of 2007.

That's about where you should be, if you're weight training for mass.

 

[OBLAMA2009]

most genetically fit men your height are actually the fair amount heavier. cain and dos santos are both 240. brock lesnar is 280 to 290. gabriel gonzaga is 250

edit: cross out most and consider the word genetically fit

being an mma fighter isnt "normal". people who physically too big have health problems and shorter life spans, i wouldnt want to be 300lbs

cain is very fit

he probably would be 250 but he keeps himslelf down to 240 i think to increase his cardio although i do not know why considering his cardio is more than enough for anything

and there are more than just mma athletes who are that heavy

basically genetics

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

Hahaha, most "genetically fit" = people that have spent their lives finely tuning their bodies.

I'm about 131 5'5. I look a lot thinner than I am too. American

there are differences in male phenotypes between different ethnicities

the idea that only work decides what you can do is a defense mechanism for americans

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

I wasn't implying only work decides, but using the pinnacle of effort as one's example of "most" is disingenuous.

 

[Fire&Blood]

6"6', 240 lbs. Trying to go back to weight I maintained through my 20's, ~225 lbs. Snuck up on 250 last winter and noticed my knees pop more often when I stand up.

 

[TonyH]

6' 2" and just a pound or so shy of 14 stones.

their size is not "most"

mma fighters are not that abnormally huge

for the size of strongman you would be right

many of them are over 300 lbs at your height or even slightly less

so size is less hard to gain for many athletes than the cardio and strength and skill that training requires

 

[norseamd]

cain, jds, and gonzaga are not "huge"

they are still of relative normal size

brock however is somewhat huge

that will probably work

just remember that you still keep growing until your mid 20s

some people want to get back to their weight when they were 18 when they had not yet fully grown

 

[Hugh Jass]

Can you move to the other side of the lake?

Thanks.

Nope...sorry.

 

[highland145]

Nope...sorry.

It might work out. We don't really need Couchton. Might need to look at some boats.

 

[stlc8tr]

most body fat measurements are not that accurate

think the only way to get something that is very accurate is with a huge machine with water

Hydrostatic weighing is suppose to be the most accurate but air displacement (e.g. BodPod) is also suppose to be very good.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_fat_percentage#Measurement_techniques

Anyway, 15% is a bit on the high side. I think 11%-12% is ideal. Anything below 10% is too hard to maintain with any normal diet/routine.

 

[rh71]

5'10" 151lbs. I want to be closer to 170 with solid mass. I still eat like a hungry college kid, but I don't work out nearly enough.

You know what's interesting - when I had food poisoning for 3 days, I dropped to 142. Gained it back in 2 days and just hit this wall continuing to eat like I just came back from a 3rd world country.

 

[alkemyst]

We need pics.

I am 300lbs with a 22" waist, lol.

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

131 pounds 28 inch waist although in that picture it's probably more like 24 or 25.

 

[Dr. Detroit]

5'9 - 202lbs. 33-34 inch waist & 43 inch chest.

Trying to cut down to 185, was at 212 3 weeks ago.

 

[Sho'Nuff]

6' 3" 240lbs.

Not exactly a fatass. But not thin either. Strong legs, strong arms. Soft in the middle.
