how much should a 6'2" guy weigh?

According to the charts at a docs office I am going to die from being so obese... but in all seriousness, what is a maintainable body weight? I currently weigh 240 and I am planning on leaning up a bit to get the abs to really show. I am about a 35-36 inch waist, 36" inseam and have a pretty large bone build. What seems normal for a guy who actually excercises. I was thinking 225?

Powerlifters weigh ~300lbs at 6'2", you are underweight my friend.

No seriously though, its bodyfat %, screw charts.

i dont know but damn if ur overweight im screwed :( 6 ft 275 started working out sat along with diet

Yep Wicked, you are screwed. Give me your computer in your will?

sure thing captain jackass should i send it now or when i die my slow painful fat death?

It won't be slow and painful, maybe a quick heart attack?
Don't send it now, if you do, I won't be able to see you are alive and posting...
The lawyer can bring me the computer after your will is looked at.

ok well ill follow thos instructions but i promise im tryin not to die now because of u....

I'm glad I could motivate you not to die.

Hey man. I am 22 years old 6'2" and 250lbs. No one has ever told me im overweight. Most people say I look less then that. Depends on your bone structure and everything else. I have 36"/38" waist depends on what brands of pants i get. Tried a pair of 36" on and they were a bit snug but not bad.

are you going by those BMI charts? because i do not think they take into account body structure or muscle. im 6'0" so i think i should be weighing in at around 165. i am currenlty 198- i am slightly overweight with a bit of a gut sticking out - but i do not believe i am nearing my death.

I'd say about three fiddy

This thread has failed miserably.

I'm 6'2'' and my goal is to weigh 205-210 Lbs and 10%-11% with muscles.

Average lifespan of US male doctors is 58yrs old, average of males in genreal is 76yrs old. Now I would assume with all thier fancy charts and knowledge they would know how to life atleast to the average, not to mention with thier money they should be able to afford better food and stuff.

I would take the advice over a GNC salesman over a doctor, hell they are both drug pushers.

195lbs @ around 12% in my Avi. . . .Personally shooting for 210@ 8-10%

Im 6'2 barefoot and 221lbs and considered overweight by my Docs chart standards lol. Weigh however much you want my friend.

165 lbs is well into skinny-**** territory and 190 lbs is more normal weight for a man you height in his late 20's.

strong bump from the grave.

"i dont want to cut anymore because then i will be too light, even though i am fat"-typical guy even more worried about his weight number more than girls

No way.
The ideal weight for a guy that is 6' 2" is 197 lbs at the high end.
