    What's the ideal weight for a 30 year old? Or any age for that matter?
    There isn't any, however, you can somewhat compare your weight against the average or recommended weight for your height by calculating your body mass index.

    A ideal weight is diffrent for everyone, i do not beleive being overweight is measured by the amount you weigh, i beleive it is your BF%, 12-16% would be around the average, 22%BF is overweight, 28%+ would be obse. You could be under weight though, how tall are you? i'm 187lb @ 14 so..........

    Hahaha... wonder what you will think of me. Roger has about 18 months of serious training behind him, he has been progressing very well.

    There are freak teens here, kvkx11, roidrage300, me, taylor, josh (beast) and gobbles and thaiga are nuts to, Xamine has an insane physique so does that midget shayet.


    OP, Unless you are 5'5 that is waaaay too skinny, I am hoping to sit at a vey lean 205 once I finish this cut at a hight of 5'10 wich I think will look ideal.

    130 lbs for a 18y/o i'd have to say is way underweight, the average 18 y/o's i know (they dont workout) are around 150-170lbs and the ones who workout are much heavier, this also depends on your height.

    weight and measurements are just numbers. if you look good, you look good. the mirror should be your ultimate reference point.

    That is an extremely subjective question...I'd even go as far as to deem it unanswerable.

    You have to take in a wide variety of factors like height, genetics, weight training experience, etc...not to mention that every person on this board has a different view of what the ideal weight is and what it isn't.

    For instance...I'm 5'8 and 200 pounds. In my mind I should be bigger and weigh more, while someone else might think I'm the perfect weight.

    I think someone that's the same height as me but weighs 30-40 pounds less is sickingly skinny, yet it's the average weight amount 5'8 males. Only you can tell what your ideal weight is. Asking someone else is like asking us to tell you about your progress in your gym.

    I CAN tell you that 130 pounds is way to light no matter how tall you are. You need to eat man!
    5'8
    200 pounds

    370 pound bench press (Goal: 400 by Jan. 09)
    475 pound deadlift (Goal: 500 by Summer 08)
    410 pound squat (Goal: 450 by Jan. 09)

    17 1/2" arms
    25 inch thighs
    13 inch forarms

    You have to take in a wide variety of factors like height, genetics, weight training experience, etc...not to mention that every person on this board has a different view of what the ideal weight is and what it isn't.

    For instance...I'm 5'8 and 200 pounds. In my mind I should be bigger and weigh more, while someone else might think I'm the perfect weight.

    I think someone that's the same height as me but weighs 30-40 pounds less is sickingly skinny, yet it's the average weight amount 5'8 males. Only you can tell what your ideal weight is. Asking someone else is like asking us to tell you about your progress in your gym.

    I CAN tell you that 130 pounds is way to light no matter how tall you are. You need to eat man!
    hmm...call me when you see a 5'8'' 200 pound man in the street with under 20% bf, you might thinks its skinny cos they dont bodybuild, 5'8 160 pounds people are endless i would think thats the normal weight but we of course want mass so its not big for us, just keep in mind that not everyone are bodybuilders
