I think that chart fits girls better. 6' for 180 pounds is 24 pounds above normal weight? For a man?
I take it you missed the part that that chart is for BMI, or are unfamiliar with BMI?
That chart is saying 180lbs at 6' has a BMI of 24 - not that that ht/wt combination is 24lbs overweight.
Look at the color coding - it also says that is normal weight (albeit on the upper limit, according to BMI).
For an average frame/body type/muscle mass concentration, BMI is pretty spot on. 6' 180lbs CAN be overweight for some individuals, and it can be underweight for others.
