Wait what? Tell me that in the 'good old days' you were smaller... Because even @ 180cm 80kg seems skinny...

I would say form 85 to 95 is ok at that height...

80kg is 12st (or 176lbs)... and that's not skinny for someone who's 6ft, that's about average really :\ 56-60 is skinny, which is what I used to be >_< I've put on a lot of weight lately, luckily it spreads nice and even all over. Now I'm 6' and weigh around 82kg.

@sabin: Here they say you get some 15kg when you get married (it comes with your wife Very Happy)

I've always had a pretty decent BMI. My last checkup revealed a BMI of 22.5, which is pretty much in the middle of "ideal weight"

i read somewhere that the weight of the skeleton of 2 similar build persons can differ up to 10 kg
meaning that guidebook rules about skinny or overweight are nuts
best way to check if you are to fat:
grab your skin in the waist: pick an inch and you're too fat

btw, body mass index means jack shit since it doesn't take density into account. i'd consider myself quite lean with a bit of muscles and i know i have massive bones, yet my BMI of 32 says i'm a fatty Laughing

it's not nonsense, just the way he described it is inaccurate. there are actually special pinchers for determining body fat % by measuring skin folds

Just to make a point.
Magnus Samuelsson, former Worlds Strongest Man (and Europe's best arm wrestler) is 200 cm tall, and now weighs about 136 kg according to Wikipedia.

Let's calculate that Laughing

With 200 cm and 136 kgs, you get a BMI of 34.

BMI Categories:

* Underweight = <18.5
* Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
* Overweight = 25-29.9
* Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

Yeah, god damn what a fatty Laughing

lol bmi really means shit. When I was 86 kilos it looked alright, no belly and so on. I just needed a little bit more training to shape my body up.

My legs are very strong and muscular and I'm sure that a big portion of my weight is coming from there Smile

even more extreme example:
jay cutler, was mr olympia some years ago



1.75m, 120kg-->BMI of 39, even though the body fat % is somewhere in the single digits

damn what a whale, go on a diet! Laughing

BMI is borderline useless when comparing single individuals that represent an extreme. This should be obvious to anyone with a brain. However it is the only adequate, and adequate it is at least, tool for measuring health in relation to weight on a broader demographic.

true dat. my posts were aimed at those above talking about being over/underweight based on height and weight alone.

the whole weight talk is useless anyway - a good look in the mirror is all it takes.

hmm I feel like you're talking to(about) me here bushwacka so I'll let you know that I was far from 100% serious when I linked the bmi chart and said most of you are overweight. My own damn fault since text is hardly the best medium to convey dry humour or sarcasm..
