    good weight for 5'8''

    What's everyone's view of a ideal weight for someone who is 5'8''? i was thinking of 170lbs of lean muscle. Anything else might be too stocky.

    Cool

    It's up to you.. There is no ideal weight. **** those machines that say that. If you want to be big, just keep getting big. There are many ripped 5'8 people over 200 lbs.. Just keep trying.

    Unhappy

    I'm 5' 11''/ 130 lbs! According to the charts in the doctor's office, I'm about 15-20 underweight for my height. That's based on someone who doesn't bodybuild, but doesn't have too much fat either. God, I used to be <I>really</I> pathetic before I started lifting. I'm thin enough, but I have a really small bone structure, and small muscles. One of my friends at my lunch table can easily beat me in an arm wrestle, and he's never lifted weights a day in his life. He's not fat either, just your average thin, strong guy. Man, genes suck.

    Yeah I guess it depends on personal liking. Personally I like the lean athletic look over the huge ripped look. Yet I look up rto the huge guys since I know they went through a lot more to get that way. Yeah maybe some roids and all but still some hard work.
    I am not the biggest nor am I the best,

    Smile Bulk or Cut

    Hello guys a quick question, Would any of you recommend a cut, My current stats are 5'8 and 180 lbs. Iv been working out strictly for the last 2 years, on a low fat/high protein diet, I would like to cut now and give some definition to my body.. Is my current body weight too low for a decent cut at a man my height? I'm thinking my body fat is between 10 - 12%. Open to comments, cheers !!! Iv attached a picture of my current self.
