are u happy with youre height/weight

[PunchDrunk]

Different people have different physiques. There are people who are 6'2" and are welterweights and other guys are the same height yet are heavyweights.

I understand that, but take a look at the post I commented on. He says "the ideal bodyweight for this height is 190," as if that is somehow the norm. I say if you're 5'9" and anywhere near 190, you're either really muscular, or chubby to the point of being fat. In neither case can you be categorized as "underweight." I know Americans are generally the fattest people on the planet, but claiming less than 190 at 5'9" is underweight is just ridiculous...

Yeah thats either a large amount of muscle or you're just a fat ****.. im almost 5'9 and im only 120 pounds.. lol

Indeed. Most people I know that are around 5'9" are about 150 lbs. I think 190 is average for guys about 6'1" or somthing.

Not real happy with my weight.

I'm 5'9 3/4" and about 170-175 walking around. I feel like I'm not big enough to be competitive as a brawler at middleweight, and I'm not skilled enough technically to outbox someone who would have the height and weight advantage if I fought at Light Heavyweight. I intend to spend the winter packing on some muscle, or trying, while continuing to box. I think with a thicker back, neck, and stronger legs, at 180-185 walking around and fighting at 178, I'll be far more effective as a brawler. I'll be adding bridges and a neck harness routine to my current weightpile menu of deadlifts, squats, and cleans, and upping the protein big time. Meanwhile, I need to learn how to box. Spent last night's sparring session just slipping and countering hooks for an hour, trying to find my feet.

im 6'0'' 185 lbs...

at 6'0'' id like to be around 220.

haha im the opposite. im 6'0, was 220 a month ago im down to 205. the thing i hate is my body loses the weight but my face stays chubby. it'll shed off sooner or later.

id like to be 180.

[platinummatt!]

im 5'8 maybe 5'9 now about 154lbs maybe body fat of about 11.4%. Id rather be 6'2 and like 200bls

[Samuel F.]

Im just a little chubby, with a fair amount of muscle. At 5'3 130 pounds, I'll probably losing some weight since I started class though. My ideal weight is around 115 - 120

[azn_violater]

i am 5'7 1/2" and my weight is droppin & raisin from 126 to 130. well idk i would love to be an inch taller & be at 135

[Smokin']

I'm 6 feet 185, ideally I would like to be 175.

My brother is 6'3 220 and he wants to be around 200 even tho hes got almost zero body fat.
