I like formulas

I found one I think makes sense

15 + 2.5 * height in inches

5' 10" = 190lbs

5' 5" = 177.5lbs

6' 2" = 200lbs

At those heights there's really no huge benefit in weighing more unless u are Kai Greene or @semtex. Mite vary for some people but I think those are good limits.

I look best at 210-215 (5'11) provided that I get down to that weight correctly (not on some low carb shyt).

My body composition has improved tremendously over the past few years though.

Also for the first time ever I'm following an actual program which I should have done from jump street, so I'm looking forward to further improvements

I'm between 5'6 -5'7 and at 170 just about. Which is great for me at this point in my life. Imo the mirror is really more important then what the scale says.
and about the same height and weight about 142-145 :heh:

I think its all depends on your height

I'm 5'10....weighed from 150 to 205

The formula @GinaThatAintNoDamnPuppy! posted i think its a good guide

I feel like I look best btw 185 - 190

Is your formula just for men? I just entered my height *(5'6) and it tells me that I should weigh 165? I don't want to weigh that much. I'm almost 150 right now and I got my doc to prescribe phentermine for me bc I feel soooo big and fat and heavy

O yea that is definitely just for men.... I have no idea what a good max weight would be for women but 5' 6", 165 & fit for a woman would be pretty thick :whoo:

And its just kind of a guideline.... Chris Jones is like 5' 5" and he is scary shredded at 175.

I'm 6'1 and hover around 187-192 and that is comfortable for me. I've tried to go bigger and I couldn't sustain it and felt to big in a way. This weight is comfortable for me, i never strived to be the biggest around.

6'1 too, anything above 190 feels heavy. Granted the time i was 190, it was more so fat.

I think this is legit,though at 6'1 I'm supposed to only weigh 200,I weigh 211 and about 12% bf

U are a beast though

5'11 and 187 pounds with a six pack here

what do i need 10 extra pounds and less definition for?
That formula is for the weight u shouldnt go over if you aren't lean at a higher weight, not the ideal weight

Plus 5' 11" = 15 + 2.5 * 71 = 192.5 so u are not far off

@semtex is 5' 11" and 210 I think but he rows Corollas. Its just a guideline for average gym brehs
