Thread: How overweight are you?

I just think that you cant be unbiased with a chart. The chart is for the average american, ie a 30 yr old dude with a gut lol

I wrestled at 189lbs and I was 2" shorter than I am now, I had like sub 10% body fat. I am now 5'11" and I am "suppose" to weight 175 or something. Not happening, not everyone's body is the same. IMHO overweight can be measured by body fat % not height to weight ratio.

see he gets it^

6'3" and 210, 8% body fat. Im happy i gained 10 lbs recently

Im a certified pt in the works, I eat healthier than anyone i know (still drink on weekends, mostly) i workout 2wice a day at the gym (just not lately due to an injured side) now its just cardio since i fell off a quad and ****ed **** up :/

yep. i used to swim in high school and i was damn good at it. i feel this is going to be my only outlet for getting back into working out. i just need to come up with a few different workouts for me to do and ill be set. i dont necessarily have to swim the whole time, i can also do other things in the water to help me out.

6'3" and 205-210lbs. But I feel that I could loose a little weight. My goal would be 190-195lbs.

i miss it alot. My senior year (last year) i got a shoulder injury. Basically had to only kick the whole season and do rehab on my shoulder. Made state (no clue how) but even now if i lift too hard with my right shoulder or swim more than a couple hundred yards it gets to hurting again. I am a coach now for my old competitive team. Let me know and I'll make up some workout for you

that would be great actually because i cant say that i remember all the drills i did off the top of my head. my right shoulder is also pretty bad. it pops in and out of the socket a lot and its going to be interesting to see if i can even swim heavily without it bothering me.

5'9 185lbs. Nobody believes me when I tell them after they ask how much I weigh. I've had a few say I can't weigh more than 150. ??

Probably because they haven't seen me with my clothes off.

I believe mine is the rotator cuff judging by the 2 other guys that had problems with theirs. I'll try to come up with some good drills that are easier on the shoulder. Lots of kicking...

6' and 225 lbs. 21 yrs old, desk job, and don't typically watch what I eat. Beer doesn't help either :/
