    how much should a 6'2" guy weigh?

    According to the charts at a docs office I am going to die from being so obese... but in all seriousness, what is a maintainable body weight? I currently weigh 240 and I am planning on leaning up a bit to get the abs to really show. I am about a 35-36 inch waist, 36" inseam and have a pretty large bone build. What seems normal for a guy who actually excercises. I was thinking 225?

    It won't be slow and painful, maybe a quick heart attack?
    Don't send it now, if you do, I won't be able to see you are alive and posting...
    The lawyer can bring me the computer after your will is looked at.

    Hey man. I am 22 years old 6'2" and 250lbs. No one has ever told me im overweight. Most people say I look less then that. Depends on your bone structure and everything else. I have 36"/38" waist depends on what brands of pants i get. Tried a pair of 36" on and they were a bit snug but not bad.

    are you going by those BMI charts? because i do not think they take into account body structure or muscle. im 6'0" so i think i should be weighing in at around 165. i am currenlty 198- i am slightly overweight with a bit of a gut sticking out - but i do not believe i am nearing my death.

    Average lifespan of US male doctors is 58yrs old, average of males in genreal is 76yrs old. Now I would assume with all thier fancy charts and knowledge they would know how to life atleast to the average, not to mention with thier money they should be able to afford better food and stuff.

    I would take the advice over a GNC salesman over a doctor, hell they are both drug pushers.

    165 lbs is well into skinny-**** territory and 190 lbs is more normal weight for a man you height in his late 20's.

    strong bump from the grave.

    "i dont want to cut anymore because then i will be too light, even though i am fat"-typical guy even more worried about his weight number more than girls
    There is always someone less fortunate, with real hunger, with real adversity, who made something of themselves. What is your excuse?

    How much should a 6'2" guy weigh? I was thinking 225?
    No way.
    The ideal weight for a guy that is 6' 2" is 197 lbs at the high end.
    May1, 2009 - 276.5 lb (125,4 kg)
    May1, 2010 - 246.5 lb (111,8 kg)
    May1, 2011 - 218.7 lb (99.2 kg)
    May1, 2012 - 197.5 lb (89.6 kg)
    Sept1, 2012 - 186.3 lb (84.5 kg)
    March5, 2013 - 192.5 lb (87.3 kg)
    Was it easy? No way. Was it worth it? Absolutely.
