Men Height and Weight

[azanon]

I'm 5' 10" and ~182 pounds. That said, I also have 10% bodyfat and wear a 31.5" waist.

The gym is a wonderful place.

Wow, nice build.

 

[spark0506]

I’m 5’-9” and 172 lbs. I would like to get down to 160-165. A year ago I got back into bike riding and I’m at 25-30 miles per week. I love it and would like to get in 60-75+ per week but fighting to find the time. One more thing to look forward to when I quit the rat race.

 

[kjpliny]

Ok, I break the mold at 5'9" and 145 lb....been same weight for last 20 years and I couldn't gain a pound if I tried. Eat like crap and don't excercise much either...probably be the first one to meet the maker of all of us. Could use another 10 pounds but it'll never happen.

 

[dmpi]

I'm 5' 9" too. 155 lbs. I'm a runner, around 25 miles/week.

spark - have you considered biking to work? That's how I get my "miles per week" (my roundtrip commute is 13 miles).

 

[bow-tie]

... these numbers would, by the way, be better reported as body-mass-indexes ...

I have to disagree with that. BMI doesn't take into account your build type or muscle mass, so I don't see how it can be accurate.

I'm 6'5" and if I remember correctly, my BMI should be around 160-170lbs... yeah, whatever....

 

[lets-retire]

Yup, BMI is nothing more than a fancy height/weight ratio. It works well for people who are couch potatoes, but for those who are physically fit it is irrelevant.

neither does a simple reporting of height and weight, but it remains the standard method of converting those two numbers into a single metric.

Bodyfat might be a good measure.

Bodyfat might be a good measure.

... yes, if it could be readily, easily, and consistently measured

[MJ]

[unclemick]

Congratulations on quitting smoking! I quit about 20 years ago. Damn hard, but more than worth it. I ate so many carrots that I turned orange. You'll dump the weight later. Or you can be "pleasingly plump" for the ladies.

I have said often that I cannot resist a bargain but $5.99 buffets are body killers.

Same size here. No change in about 30 years, except I did gain 12-15 lbs.
during my second marriage (man, that woman could cook!)
Dropped it quick when I went back to eating my own cookin'.
No regular exercise program although I stay pretty active and I watch
what I eat. I was way overweight around 160.
Back to fighting trim.
