Whatever looks good. Only you can choose what is ideal for your height. The only opinion that matters is your own

200-210lbs is my guess, given your current physique.

Just take a look at basketball players. The leaner ones at 6'6 are around 200-220, the bigger ones go up to 250. They do keep a bf% more than 8% since they're athletes though, so take that into consideration.Originally Posted by JOtton

im shooting for about 250 at 6'4" im a bit wider in the shoulders than most. and obviously that weight will be accomplished with a ton of muscle.

If your body fat is genuinely at 8% (which the vast majority of people will never get to) then you can look big/shredded at 6'6" in the 200s-210s. I'm 6'5" and most people think I'm getting big when my weight goes over 200. At the end of my current cut there's a good chance I am going to go sub 200 trying to achieve 10% bf before I start slow bulking again.
Realistically speaking, at 6'6" and 8% bodyfat - it's unlikely that your weight would be anywhere near 250.
