Wondering if there is an answer to this question.

Someone @ 6'2" has the same physique (muscle size) as someone who is 6'0". How many more pounds would they carry for those 2"?

I'm just curious about physiques I've seen in pictures and what I can have as a goal.

Stupid question, I know :o >>> Any ideas appreciated.

I believe that the standard "healthy weight" is 100 pounds for the first five feet, then, for a man, 6 pounds for each inch over that, and, for a woman, 5 pounds for each inch over that height.

So if the 6 foot tall man is 172 pounds, then the 6 foot two inch tall one would be considered the same at 184 pounds.

I know it's not what you asked, but it adds some infomation.

Thanks Guava. That was the information I was looking for.

If I am doing the calculation correctly that would mean that the "ideal" healthy weight for a 6' tall male was 136lbs! That seems VERY low to me. Perhaps I do not understand you correctly? :confused:

EDIT: Wow! I must have been really tired when i wrote the above post! Thanks for the math correction.

A six-foot tall male is 72" tall (12" x 6)

100 pounds for the first 5 feet (60") + (6 pounds x 12") = 172 pounds

what about people who are large framed... big bones or barrel chested?


i know you all are talking about averages but i want to know how i can get my unique ideal body wieght.

Are you big boned and barrel chested? then I estimate 165 lbs for you. But lets say you are average then 155 lbs, so you have what? 60 to 70 lbs to lose.

See I can be wrong, you just need to get started full force, don't worry so much about details. You can always change them as you pile up results. Any estimate is a wild guess, nothing takes in all the variables. Have you posted pictures?

I think this is somewhere along the same lines as your BMI, there's just no size fits all. I'm aiming to cut to about 100kg (220lbs), and always intend this to be my target weight (unless someone invents days with 26 hours for me to lift more), whilst there are those on the boards (sorry, can't remember names at the minute) who are as tall as me (6'5" [195]) but already less than my target, and aiming for lower.

Someone broad across the shoulders with a deep chest will probably weigh more at the same 'size' and BF% than someone who isn't/hasn't.

its really depends on bone structure, somebody with less muscle and less fat can weigh more than somebody with more muscle and more fat because of their bone density and thickness

it all depends on the individual

A small change from a site on web.

An easy way to determine your own desirable body weight is to use the following formula:

Women: 100 pounds for the first 5 feet of height plus 5 pounds for each additional inch.

Men: 106 pounds of body weight for the first 5 feet of height plus 6 pounds for each additional inch.

For a small body frame, 10% should be subtracted; for a large frame, 10% should be added.
