6'1 180 30 inch waist, 10% bf

Need to add another 5-7 lbs of lean mass and Ill be straight

weight is irrelevant when you're fit, its more how you look, body composition.


:damn: @ the average

just a study in excess..and honestly i fell off a couple of times before i got right..its tough out there.

How Much Does the Average Man Weigh?

The average American man 20 years old and up weighs 197.9 poundsTrusted Source. The average waist circumference is 40.2 inches, and the average height is just over 5 feet 9 inches (about 69.1 inches) tall.


I’m 6’2”, 218 right now. 34 inch waist. Trying to drop down to 200 - 205 for the summer.

if you’re not fitter than average, what are you doing to change it? Let’s get fit brehs.
summer is already here :therethere:

Ya nikkas love waiting till the last minute to drop them pounds. By the time you hit 205 it's mid-end of August already.


That said I'm 198lbs down from 235 this time last year :win: got a faint 4 pack. Another 8-10 pounds and I'll have fully visible abs.

A 34" waist at 6'2 218 while great shape is not impossible. Now if he said 240 I'd be calling DuckTales.

34" is believable.

I'm 35" and 191 lbs at 5'8".

I've been as heavy as 226 lbs and my waist was like 38.5"

Weight gain for me goes evenly across the body. Some people, it all goes straight to the stomach. Seen white dudes with flat chest but huge potbelly.

This is true. I gain minimal to no fat in my arms, legs, back, but every 5 pounds I’ve ever gained goes right to my face,neck,belly only.

some ppl just won the genetic lottery and work hard too :manny:

i remember bernard hopkins used to brag about his 27" waist and that was when he was coming in at 6'1"/170# on fight night
I have a friend who was active doing horse farm work when he was a teen, but otherwise never works out, does not exercise and eats whatever he wants….though he’s not eating fast food all day or anything.

This breh was born with a 6 pack and is in his 40’s and wears the same sized everything from when he was 18, looking like a model and shyt.:dame:

Impressive but he's also 6'1"

170 lbs and 5'6" with a 27" waist....that would take work.

6'1 and under 180 lbs is pretty lean.....some dudes are built top heavy so they will look swole up top at that size but have chicken legs.

Yeah abs are genetic.

Being fit is about diet and exercise but some folks just have abs and others do 1000 crunches to get abs. Best friend's cousin is like that. Average appetite and hoops maybe 3x a week. 6-pack.

Known people that eat cleaner and workout a lot more but just have the flat-pack. Ab definition but that's only with insane work.

In my mid 20’s when I was hooping 3 plus times a week and religiously doing sit ups and push ups every day, staying under 2,000 calories including any booze I had…..I got to 188 at 6’2 and could not for the life of me get any thinner.

Your frame definitely has to be on the thinner side to be in that 170-180 range at that over 6 ft range in my mind.
