Eat a sammich and go tie a bowling ball to your leg while you're at it. Do you go outside in fear of strong wind gusts? 😛

But then, I'm a body builder.

What kind of BB is 6' 210 LBS? Not one that is very competitive. How much would you weigh it you cut down for a competition, 190? Not very big for a Body Builder.

Define "bodybuilder" ?

"Bodybuilding is the process of developing muscle fibres through the combination of weight training, increased caloric intake, and rest. Someone who engages in this activity is referred to as a bodybuilder. As a sport, called competitive bodybuilding, bodybuilders display their physiques to a panel of judges, who assign points based on their aesthetic appearance."

According to that site I'm like 10-15lbs underweight

Someone toss me a box of twinkies, I'll get that b1tch where it needs to be

 

[AmdEmAll]

6' 170lbs don't think thats overweight. Just lost about 20lbs though, happy about that.

 

[Chrono]

I'm 150 lbs overweight. I'm 5'7" 400 lbs. Target weight is 300 lbs.



































I fail at math. 400 - 150 = 300
Being fat makes me stupid.

I think the general consensus is that a Body Builder is one who competes, not someone who weight trains.

Is it not obvious he assumes the person is a competitor?

I don't know of any individual who refer to themselves as body builders just because they go to the gym 3-5 days a week and lift weights

 

[BW86]

10 lbs

 

[Todd33]

I'm 6' 4" and about 239, down from 254. I'm working on it, I'd like to get to at least 220 by Dec.

No it's not, especially for an adult male.

 

[Brazen]

6'3" 225lbs. I'm guessing 50lbs over? I was 175 in college and looked perfect.

6' 4" --> 180lbs

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

If I was 180lbs, I would be one skinny motherfvcker. A buddy of mine used to weigh like 180lbs, near 190lbs and he wasn't even 6' IIRC.

I'm 250lbs, if I had to guess I could probly lose about 20lbs or so, but I lift a lot and can bench more than my body weight, so I'm not too far behind.

Hey the website says the ideal weight for a 6' 3" man is 175. I've always believed the real test though is if you can bench press more than your body weight, than you are ok.

Yeah 180 is too skinny for 6'4".

I'm 6'4" and I hover between 195 and 205.

Hey, I'm in the middle of my target weight.

5' 5" and 134 lbs.

I could probly get closed to 200lbs if I really tried, but I'm just a big dude. I've been lifting pretty steadily for the last 4-5 years, my legs are like tree trunks and I've got a strong upper body. I don't think I'd want to see 200lbs, but the 220-range would be nice.

One of these days...<throws Arby's cup in the trash>

Not really, a guy 6'3" should be able to bench 175 lbs once fairly easily, especially on a machine where he doesn't need to use his stabilizer muscles.

Yeah .... 6'2"-6'3" MAX weight is 202 for a large frame like mine. I'm weighing in at 250 and I want to lose about 20 lbs. More than that though and I'd be too skinny for my liking. Like fbrdphreak, I bench more than my bodyweight so I'm not TOO concerned.

A guy who's in shape with decent muscle tone, or a regular every day schmo? Maybe they SHOULD be able to, but I highly doubt the average guy at 6'3" these days can bench 175 easily. 175 is pretty damned skinny for someone at 6'3". My father is 6'3" about 180 and he's incredibly skinny.
