What is an average weight for a guy 5'9? I was shooting for something in the 140-145 range. Is this about what most guys this height weigh who are fit, not huge, but toned and in shape? Just curious as to what some others weight at my height.

I'd say about 160-170
Philippians 4:13

Luke 6:37

Average is completely relative. If you ask your doctor, he will tell you that a guy who is 6'2" and weights 210 is "overweight", when in fact he is 9% BF and just a gym nut.

Average man in this country is 5'10" 193lbs of blubber. If you want to be fit and healthy, it depends on your build and your sport, if any.
By sport:
120-135lbs - mid/long distance runner
135-145 - bike racer or triathlete
145-160 - soccer player, swimmer
160+ whatever you want (but you are too small for american football or basketball)
Ultimately it depends at what weight you feel most comfortable and natural given your normal activities. Personally I don't gain any strength and lose agility, speed and lots of endurance if I'm above 165. Below 155 I'm not that strong either, but am presumably faster, though I've spent most of the past 5 years at ~158-163.

there is something wrong with your workout if you are not gaining strength at that weight. a 5'10 sub 170lb IMO is already in the skinny side. im you average 5'10, 192lb without much blubber. i don't look huge either.Originally Posted by gatovolador
to the OP, i agree that you aim for mid 180s with low BF.

140lbs would be a good weight if your gay and want to pick up dudes at a club...
George St Pierre is 5'10" and probably walks around at 180-185lbs.
I imagine it matters so much though how thick your back and legs are so can't really make a blanket statement.

well with my past experience. I was 5' 8" in my senior year of high school and i weighed 170 around 10% of bodyfat.
edit: we'll average i would have to say 155 because i was 5'5 freshman year weighing 150. but i grew some tree trunks

Under 160 is tiny for 5'9 dude. I guess if you want to look like a marathon runner or a jockey then it's fine. My personal ideal weight for me at 5'10 is 180, right now I'm 195.Originally Posted by gatovolador

agreed any sport like hockey, football, rugby, sprinters, or guys that just go to the gym. It seems like anyone under 170 is on the small side. 180-190 seems like a good weight for 5'9 if ur rippedOriginally Posted by NewYorkGiants

he diets down to 180-3ish or so for training camp, and then dyhdrates 10 more pounds for weigh ins. Certain guys like Thiago Silva cut quite a bit more (ATT in general cut a lot).Originally Posted by Fatorip

Too small for American football? The majority of NFL running backs are under 6'0 with quite a few in the 5'9-5'11 range. Lots of cornerbacks are in that size range too, you'll even see safety's that short and of course kickers/punters along with receivers.Originally Posted by gatovolador
Sorry that just ticked me off cause I'm 5'8" lmao
But anyway OP I think 160-170 would look good lean. Ideally 175-180.Gym PR's
Squat - 325lbs
Bench - 225lbs paused
Deadlift - 405lbs x 3

I wish I knew
Average weight isn't relative . Average weight is the total weight of group divided by the number of that group. What a doctor' says is healthy isn't the average weight. It is based on healthy people , their longevity and their realtive weight. But there is a number. I am 5 ' 8 and 200 lbs . People say I look skinny but my bmi says that I am obese.

A guy who is 5' 9" and 160 could be soft, plump, and mushy or he could be pretty lean and muscular...
I've never seen anyone walk in a room with a sign saying "I weigh XXX pounds." Use the mirror to determine if you like what you see. That could vary by 20 pounds or more, based on your body fat.
