Your weight doesn't matter (srs)

[Tredeh]

fukk weight. I get flack for being 5'11 160 but people irl are impressed with my physique. The only people that care about height to weight ratio are the people online. Look in the mirror and ask yourself "am I happy with the way I look?" If not, make the changes you need to make. Who cares what you weigh as long as your happy with how you look?
If anything matters. it's body part ratio. Chest to waist, quads to calves etc. You can be 6'0 and 200 pounds but if your proportions are off then you're going to look stupid.

TL;DR: Weight doesn't matter, and no one cares about it. How you look > height to weight ratio

[Jericoe]

Oh yes op you should totally go off the judgement of average people in real life who have never touched a weight and think having a 6 pack means you are ripped and huge.

Sounds like a great idea.

next thing you know he'll be calling you short and fat

OP just accept you're not swole, no need to make a thread about it

[Slayer86]

I think you are mad because you are 160 @ 5'11. Whatever gets you to sleep op...

[Cap2014]

Well I certainly look better at 180lbs with 9% body fat than I did at 140lbs with 7% body fat ..

To a certain extent weight does matter but once you get to a certain point it's more about how lean you are IMO

[Tredeh]

You're all missing the point. I'm not denying that if you're 6'0 and 140 pounds you arent skinny. But at the end of the day the mirror should be your end judge, not the scale.

[Abrupt]

Since this is a bodybuilding forum, I'm pretty sure people here want to gain more weight to look even better in the mirror, no?

Agreed.

Some people don't have wide shoulders (like me) and even though im about 65kg (143 lbs) I am happy with my physique. I think my goal weight is probably around 165 lbs. Broad shoulder people are going to be naturally heavier imo - since they will have a much larger/heavier torso.

Exactly!

when it comes to bodybuilding/ gaining muscle the mirror isn't enough - it has to be more precise; you rely on measurements to determine improvement and success

[Cap2014]

Wait til you get to 165, you won't want to stop there

thought I'd be happy at 160, then 170 now probably not til 185 or 200

Don't get me wrong I love my physique and am more than happy with it but I know I could be better and always want to be

[PrinceJontino]

ppl think i weigh 10+ more than i normally do. 10 lbs minimum, even up to 20

lol So true... It's never enough, is it.

[Pabrah814]

repped op,to a point it's true weight to average people doesn't matter,but for people online with no avis it somehow does.

[Jericoe]

I like how all the people who agree with you are 140lbs soaking wet.

1. Frank zane was 5'9 185 pounds. In terms of pro bodybuilding, that was skinny. But he was aesthetic as fuk.
2. Mirin lifts

Oh yeah pick a bodybuilder from the 1970's. He wouldnt make it in todays bodybuilding with his current physique. He would need a lot more mass and need to have a lower bodyfat.

And exactly, he was 185lbs and lean.

No one in this thread is short, 185lbs, and lean.

[MuchoMonte]

to an extent you're right

stand next to someone with the same physique as you but 10 lbs heavier on same BF%, who will look better?

although yea you shouldn't be comparing yourself to others, but at the same time if you don't compare yourself to others then how do you know how well you're doing

mixed feelings about this tbh lol.

i never let what anyone who doesnt lift thinks about my physique give me any ego boost though because i even get people complimenting me on the size of my arms..... my arms are 14"...... facepalm

It sounds like someone is bitter because no one complements hes physique in real life.

Strong biased snapshot of a video. The simple fact is that no matter what I look like you would think i'm skinny because i'm not 6'0 200 pounds at 8% bodyfat.
While we're here, why don't you post a photo of yourself shirtless so we can all see your six pack and impressive physique.

Lols!! Jericoe > OP

Here's a photo of my now. I just went in the bathroom and took this 2 minutes ago.

This summer at the beach I got loads of complements from people telling me I looked good/buff. Another guy was there, 5'8 180 and he's proportions are all off but nobody said anything to him.

Keep in mind this is first thing in the AM, no carbs and bad lighting. I'm also more cut irl, this camera isn't made for taking photos (its more for filming outdoors).
