Unfortunately height and weight aren't really telling. At 5'10" 205lbs I had a 28inch waist and very low body fat, definitely couldn't pinch an inch on me. Frame and muscle density matter far more (or at least as much) as height and weight.

I'm 6' 2'' 190 with 11% body fat. Wish I were around 200 at 3% but wtf you going to do, I'm not steroid man.

Unless you have nothing but muscle.

Because someone complained vehemently in my confession thread that I had stolen his modus operandi. I replied I had no idea and that I would have stopped had I known. Since I now know, I stopped.

a little fat, yes..

I'm 5'9" and 153 (well I was 153 last Thursday.. I believe eating 1.5 lbs of ribs and then dimsum over the weekend plus Dennys last night fattened me up BIG TIME.) and I consider myself a little fat.

As a dude, I think a 5'10" 185lbs dude can be either 'big' or 'fat'. Big means you are fleshed out well overall - fat means you are trying to conceal a spare tire under your shirt.

I'm 6'0" and weigh 130lbs. Is that too thin?

Depends if you're Asian or not?

Hehe, I know I am pretty damn thin (and I'm Indian). Can't help it - you guys have no idea how much food I eat but yet, can't seem to put on any weight. I won't say I'm athletic but I run like a champ and have well defined legs and stuff - just can't seem to build any mass. I guess I have the Jughead Jones Syndrome.

It runs in my family I think. All of us are pretty lean until we hit 25 and then, everyone starts gaining weight to normal levels (and beyond).

Here's a pic of my older brother - he's 23-yrs-old, also 6'0" and around 135lbs. Bro

And a bonus pic for ValkyrieofHouston for telling me I'm cute;) The Prodigal Shrimp?


Thats a great pic of you! ;)

No, it's not fat. Depending on the frame size and amount of muscle, he could range from lean and cut to soft and cuddly at that weight, but I wouldn't say fat.

I have seen pics of you and you are in great shape.
I am also envious of your ripped midsection (I must cut out the cokes and chips, ha ha )
