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.

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.

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.

It all really depends on your build and genetics...

i am on a lil high bf% but i am 220 and i am 5'8....
i guess 200 pounds of lean muscle would look decent. but again 220 would still be better

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.

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.
