Im 26 years old. 5 6 and a half i wieght 175 pounds. What should my ideal weight be?

as long as you're not a fatass then it's not a problem. I'd still shoot for 160. run more.

perfect weight is a tough one because ii all depends how how you feel. i am a big guy and got down to 210- 215 but felt really week and since then i put a bit back on and now feel great at 230-240. those perfect weight charts are BS because it all depends on your body shape for example most my weight is in my legs which just solid pices of meat which i cant do much about. i always look at the Klitschkos and think how the hell can i be around the same weight as those monsters and then see how skinny their legs are and have my answer.

hell my legs are pretty muscular. just have a little gut and skinny arms. ya know

Everyone has differing body sizes/shapes. Im 6'1 and my walking around weight is 154 and my ideal weight would be 140 because im at about 147 when in training.

However when you look at me i do resemble a garden rake and it sounds like you dont. Start trying to drop some pounds and see how you feel. To me most important thing is finding a weight that you feel strong and healthy at.

A pal of mine used to box, he's 5'9 and was a heavyweight. He told me that he could get down to cruiser but he felt less than 100% so he never fought there. It's not so much about your height more body shape/size and bodyfat percent.

you're still in, right? Hell, take the STA Indoc. It'll peel off if you get in. My friend Reid just graduated from Scout/Sniper School today (did the Trail of Tears last week.) He went from 230 to 200 and he's 6'2" and has always been less than 10% body fat.

He got booted after two tours with STA because he was 4 pounds over and was made a police sergeant. He got back into STA and is about to pick up Sergeant and will be a section leader. He swears by Crossfit too. we weren't doing that when I was in.

Crossfit is good shit...Unfortunately the Corps had us doing "boots and utes" runs to shred our knees.

I'm a fat @ss. 5'10', 230 lbs.
When I was 175 lbs I was faster, could jump higher, and had more stamina.
At that point I could dunk a volleyball or even a basketball on a REALLY bouncy court.
I started to try and gain weight and build muscle like an idiot..then stopped working out when I graduated college and kept eating...now I can't even touch a 10 foot rim.
Your ideal weight is not a number, it is whatver weight you are at that maximizes your athletic ability and health.

Us too.

Now you're following me around?

Because I post in a thread that you posted in I am following you around?
Sounds like you have a problem mang?
Obsessed much?

What are "boots and utes" runs?

This is the 6th thread that I have posted in forums that I am not a mod in that you have followed me into. How can I be the one who's obsessed when you have a following problem?

I don't know about non-infantry, but in the Infantry where I was, it is doing 5-15 mile runs in Cammie Trousers, Jungle Boots, Green PT Shirt, Flack Jacket and Kevlar Helmet.

Fuck your "non-infantry" knock...bastard

Just kiddin...

Same for us, although we didn't have to wear the helmets...

Boots on concrete is bad...When your 6'1" (me) and have to basically chop up and down instead of extending your stride because you're running in formation, the kees take a severe beating.

short for "boots and utilities"

Followed you into? Dude, I don't know what you are talking about.
How many threads do you post in? Pretty much all of them I would say seeing as how you are a loser and this place is your life.
So I happen to post in 6 whole threads that you also posted in and I'm following you around....
You are the one that took the time to COUNT THE THREADS THAT WE BOTH POSTED IN...that is pretty sad man.

Besides that..name the threads..I don't think I have posted in 6 threads that you posted in.

depends on what you're goal is. i'm 6 feet and 195 and i lift and run every morning. if i wanted to box i could be at 160. depends on what you're trying to do.

Since you ignored my post...because you were wrong...I looked into it...I can't find a single thread that you aren't a mod in other than this one since this whole thing started that you posted in first and I 'followed'.
Once again you are proven full of sh!t.

You are such a dipshit. I rattled that number off the top of my head. Besides, you're the resident nutter here, so deal with that shit.

I was thinking about that and said non infantry because I was thinking, "Man, I can't call Sherps a POG." so I typed that.

Yeah, they do fuck up the knees. The ALICE gear fucks up the upper-back and the MOLLE gear fucks up the lower back. It's a lose-lose with that shit.

So, when you are backed into a corner, you make up sh!t to prove a point. Sh!t that turns out to be not true at all. You said I followed you into 6 threads, when it truth it was ZERO. You tried to make me look like a fool but ended up being the fool yourself.
Looks like you are the obsessed dipsh!t.

Preemptive post- Jeremiah, go change the bulbs on your front porch, grab some beer, and go "shoot the UFO's."

That is certainly one of the most insane things I have ever read. Look how many words (soup) you have. Heyjoos you are acting like a Schizo.

So I didn't use correct sentence structure while typing speedily on an internet chatroom...d@mn, I'm a bastard.

Now you're a schizo and a retard. Congrats. I am sure that Cooter is proud. Did you change those bulbs out yet?

And again, I make an arguement that proves you wrong.....you have no answer...what could you possibly do...result to insult like a 5 year old child. You should change your name to LOGICALFALLACY0311.

I have two grunt brothers, so I've been called POG before...thankfully there is a sailor brother as well so I'm not lowest on the insult list

I am twirling my right finger around my ear and making a buzzing noise upon reading this horseshit.

Im with you now. They do a lot of that sorta thing over this side of the atlantic too except we usually wear standard issue boots. Can be a right fuckin bastard if you have girly feet like me because the issue boots tear my feet apart.

Unfortunately i know exactly what you mean, it's even worse if you've had trouble with your knees before. I cracked my left kneecap on two seperate occasions so the pounding of the issue boots on the concrete is a fuckin nightmare for me.

this is an old post but i will give my opinion anyways,it all depends on your body type and how fat/muscular you are but imo no one that is 5''6 should fight over 152 pounds(69 kg) if they can help it,5'6 is pretty short even for 152 if you go to 165 you would be fighting guys that are like 6'0 or maybe more.

Wait...I get along with you.


The other day I posted that hell froze over because I agreed with you...I must mixed you up with Danko or something. My bad.

No problem dude. I did wonder what the fuk you were on about.

I was probably on about 2 blunts.

I'm 6'0, 175lbs does that mean I'm overweight?

that's the problem with these generic ideal weights. i'm 15-20 pounds heavier than you and i'm considered pretty overweight, even though i lift and either run or bike atleast 20 mins. everyday. i remember when holyfield was the champion years ago men's health showed that by the government's charts, he was considered 60-70 pounds overweight..

Yeah its funny they don't equate natural builds into these stupid weight ideals. Like I have a friend who is my height and if he starved himself he'd probably have a hard time getting down to 190lbs. Its all about your frame and natural build really not about your height.

I know it's ridiculous. I've got a friend who's 5'9 and he weighs about 200. He's built like a fukin tank and not too much fat on him, yet his BMI tells him he's obese.

Its a flawed system basically.

My friend is a Marine Sniper and he was initially kicked out of STA for being overweight...At 6 foot 3 and 215 pounds lean. He was able to get back in though. Just did a lot of cross fit.

When he gets home, he's putting in his papers to be a Drill Instructor. He's done three pumps in Iraq and is ready to move onto Drill.

He's gonna be a lifer.

Ideal fighting weight or walk around weight?

fatty

for boxing you would probably have to melt down to 165(75 kg's)
the next weight class up is 178(81 kg's) and you would be too small for that as you are already under that now without training.

My body fat is rather low actually and I run quite often. If I were to get into some serious boxing training though your right I would probably go down to about 165lbs but I like lifting weights so I probably won't do that.

we have guys that fight at 178 and they walk around at 205 when they are not training,if you didn't make 165 they would feed you to the wolves

Pretty much thats why I just stick to working the heavy bag, shadow boxing and the speed bag and leave the sparring and full contact training to the pros and amateurs.

I think if I got serious though 160lbs would probably be ideal for me, maybe even 154lbs if I gave up weight training.

I'm too old being 28 years old to be getting into the ring with some 18 year old who wants to use me as a punching bag anyways. I'll stick to being a spectator.

it depends a lot on body compo. mesomorphs (good muscle to fat ratio) but they fail in the BMI scale lol

the mirror is a better judge still

Key is the muscle to fat ratio, as long as you lose the flabby and love handles then you are ok fitness wise. Health is different to fitness though, so you really have to look into adequate cardio besides lifting.

Golden rule: Weight means NOTHING! Body Fat is the imprtant factor and why charts like BMI are inaccurate. For my height 5 10.5 and age I should be like at most 160 lbs. Yet I am 184 at about 8% bf and athletic. Have your BF measured and then shoot for a goal %. If you are in a good range and like it then work on whether you want more muscular development or if you want to thin out more.

Tough to answer w/o knowing the details but I would say no higher than 152.
