i'm 16. 6'3 and 150. very skinny. i was just wondering how much weight i need to gain before i get to the point where i just look average/thin(not ripped but not a pole). i reallly hate looking like i'm anorexic. i'm on rippetoe ss right now and i've gained 10 pounds in 2 months. i think i'm going at a pretty decent pace.

Well I'm 6'2-6'3, 190-195 lbs, and have a pretty good build, but sometimes I look (or think I look) skinny when I look in the mirror. My arms aren't too big either.
yah dude i'm 6'3 and around 160-165 and i'm skinny. My goal is 180.
i want to at least get to the point where people don't call me "chicken legs"
at 6'2 - 6'3... 200lbs is normal.
post your diet so we can evaluate it.
I can almost GUARANTEE you are not eating enough.
Since you say you are on rippetoe SS I will post a quote from rip that applies to your question
``You are 5' 10" at 129. You quite literally need to gain 100 lbs. of whatever type of bodyweight you can in order to merely resemble a human male instead of a tall insect.. ``
yeah when i started i was 150 lbs and 6'4 i always got commented on how skinny i was it was gross but after a year i gained 30 lbs so now im at 180, im still thin but at least i can take my shirt off and not feel embarassed
Go find a body mass index calculator and then type in your height and weight, then play with the weight number. If you are fairly lean you will probably start to "look normal" at about 22. If your the average bodyfat type then you start looking normal at about 20.
Most of us on the forums will have a BMI that may put us on borderline overweight, but it is only because muscle is far more dense than bodyfat, and you will still appear to be thin or normal even as you go past 25.
well im 5'10 161 11% BF and i look skinny as ****... IMO, i wud say at 6'2/6'3 probably 210
6'3 220 is normal,225 looks like you went to a gym once, anything above that and your getitng there. 260lb+ and shredded and you will be approaching bear status.

this. I feel skinny at 185 even. Sitting at 205 is about perfect lean body imo. 235 for bulked
I'm 6'0 at 180 and I still feel skinny sometimes, so..
Go have a look at my progress pictures in my bodyspace... I have pics from 137 lbs to 210 lbs. Everyone has their own view of what's ?onsidered normal... personally I still view myself as skinny even though I've gained almost 60 lbs..

No thats not a load at all. 200 would be good for a starting point of 6'3. And i'm pretty sure that 170-180 would look very thin on a 6'3 person. it would even look skinny on me and 'im 5'11:S
[QUOTE=Blanchoir;414221101]at 6'2 - 6'3... 200lbs is normal.[/QUOTE]
Same thing I was thinking. I'm even aiming higher cos I'm sick of being tall and skinny/ skinny fat.
any pics of a "normal" 6'3?

depends on build, ifyou have big shoulders or not etc
6'3 150lbs???
I'd say you'll look ''normal'' at 200lbs and swole at 250lbs.
200 pounds to look normal at 6'3'', at 6'1'' 190 I feel pretty normal finally.
Im 6'3 at 220 and still look like a stick (in my opinion). Probably like 230+ to look noticeably big.
190
im 6ft 3 n 188 now... id like to get to 200 just eat eat eat n throw in some weight gainers to pick the weight up =]
