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
"I can do all things, through Christ, who strengthens me."
Luke 6:37
“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;
"Only God can Judge Me."
"A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do."

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.

Well im the same height as you and weigh 140 im very lean not much muscle on me, acording to doctors at my height i should weigh 11stone which is 154. But i have done boxing for years and it was important to keep weight off, this is the heaviest i have ever been, started to bulk now though
Hope that helped.

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.
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.
