How much do you have to weigh to look like you lift at 5'11"?

[Zanetics]

What's your chest routine brah?

I do some weird chit

Incline for 5 sets 6-8 reps
Pec flies for 4 sets 10 reps - and in between sets i hold a medicine ball and isometric hold squeezing the ball together for chest
then do weighted dips for 5 sets 8-10 reps (or sometimes 3 sets dips supersetted with 3 sets of pushups)

then hit triceps for 6 sets

das it mane

[N00BGains]

I have same stats as you and bishes think I'm 'swole'. Prolly due to my broader shoulders/back and the fact I'm in hs though

[Hucking_Fell]

12" arms will turn heads

[MikeTheBiceps]

12" arms will turn heads

Your kidding right? I have 14" and they are still small

[Impression360]

I hover in the 165-170 range and I get a few comments here and there from coworkers. Large shoulders and traps are def. the reason. Also in a fitted shirt my delts look good

[TXBuddy]

With or without a shirt on?

I say 200lbs with clothes on.

You can be 175 and look like you lift without a shirt on.

[Jeremy544]

People can tell I lift in a shirt at this weight.. You'll be golden at 185.

[jz416]

General consenus seems to be 175-185 lbs then.

How long do you think it's gonna take me to get to that weight? I've been lifting for about 18 months, feel like my n00b gains have stopped. Been stuck at around 163 lbs for about a month now.

Consuming between 2900-3200 kcal a day, lifting 4-5 days a week and the scales aren't budging.

posts like these make me think more and more that miscers have small frames, even at 180 pounds i had a very broad frame and it was obvious i lifted

Strong edit.

Small frame crew

I started at 145lbs.

Some of these guys looked jacked without shirt. But unless it is a fitted T, you can't tell.

[Muska28]

I get told I look good all the time, but people even said that when I was 140lbs at 5'10 so idk

That's a good point. Theirs no magic number, the persons frame will be a huge factor in this.

I'm 180 lbs and recently a girl from med school asked me if i wanted to go to the cinema along with some other people from med school. since i wanted to hit the gym i just said "no thx i've planned to go training tonight". to which se replied "you're doing weight lifiting right?" *feltgoodman*

But I'm at ~15 % bf and I'm going to cut for a sixpack now.

[Dasser]

I'd say about 200lbs

[Nara22]

Makes sense. One of my friends is 6'0 and weighs 196 lbs. He doesn't lift and isn't fat so it's weird.

Das it mane.

Only female comments I get are from family who haven't seen me in a year lol.

[MikeTheBiceps]

I got a massage at work (to prevent back pains in my job we get weekly massages), she told me you lift right? Because you have realy wide shoulders and strong back. Feels good

In the army max weight for someone 5'11" was 185 lbs (192 lbs for someone 6'). You could go over that but when you did you would need to be body fat tested (military tape test standards) to ensure your were not fat. In the military only two types of people got tape tested, the big guys and the fat guys. So just my personal opinion if you were above that and still lean (12% or less) I would consider that big enough to at least show you look like you lift. My personal gold standard goal is still to reach that 200 lbs - 10% but I'm happy with anything over 192 lbs & lean.

[truthhurts]

lean, probably about 180 ish (lean though, visible abs etc)

[SugarFree1]

Just to add to my last comment, I think body fat % plays a big part too. If your cut/shredded and sub 10% it definitely shows even at much lower over all weight.

[aftbrah]

all about shoulders/traps if you wanna look like you lift in shirts

i agree 100% with this. I have natural traps of peace development and i'm only 170lb 6'0 @ 9-10% bodyfat. I'm not saying I'm big at all, but people can definitely tell I lift even with shirt on. (no delusion, no e-brag)

here's a close up pic of my avi

[p_gomez]

5'11 brah checking in.

200

[Bulgarianlion95]

185-200 at 10ish % bf.

could look like you lift to the general public probably at 165, but im talkin misc standards here and how you look also depends on your frame and insertions and other chit not just weight.

[TheCanDan]

It depends what you mean by "look like you lift". People could tell I lift when i was 155 but to actually look decent i'd say minimum 175lbs 10-12%bf

If you started at a 126 lbs it will take you about 5-8 years to get to 175-185 lbs of lean muscle?? It took me longer, but I didn't have the luxury of internet when I started...

Agree with this. Someone used Marc Fitt as an example. He's 5'10" 175 lbs and shredded. Can definitely tell he lifts when he's in clothes.
