Ideal weight increases by five pounds per inch until you get to 5 feet, 11 inches. From an ideal weight of 190 pounds for someone 5 feet, 11 inches, the ideal weight jumps 10 pounds to 200 pounds for someone six feet tall.
Conclusion: - A healthy weight range for a 5'11'' man is approximately 140 to 190 pounds. Individual factors such as muscle mass, body composition, and overall health should also be considered when determining an ideal weight. For personalized advice, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional.
For a lean and muscular physique, you might aim for the higher end of the healthy BMI range or slightly above, depending on your muscle mass. A common goal for someone who is 5 ft 10 in tall and wants to be lean and muscular might be around 160-190 pounds (73-86 kg).
Maybe you've heard this one: “Which weighs more, a pound of muscle or a pound of fat?” Short answer: They weigh the same (a pound is a pound!). But they sure don't look the same. In other words, a pound of fat has a much larger volume.
Normal ranges for muscle mass are: Ages 20-39: 75-89 percent for men, 63-75.5 percent for women. Ages 40-59: 73-86 percent for men, 62-73.5 percent for women. ages 60-79: 70-84 percent for men, 60-72.5 percent for women.
The basic takeaway is this: If you're above 180cm (about 5'10”) you likely need to be at least 90kg/198lbs to be highly competitive, though if you're aiming to be a world-class lifter, you should probably be aiming for the 110kg/242 class or above (or 105kg/231lbs in the IPF).
A man who is 5 ft. 10 in. tall is considered overweight (BMI is 25 to 29) if he weighs between about 174 and 202 pounds, and is obese (BMI is 30 or more) if he is closer to 209 pounds or more.
This ratio of weight to height is known as the body mass index (BMI). People who are overweight (BMI of 25–29.9) have too much body weight for their height. People who are obese (BMI of 30 or above) almost always have a large amount of body fat in relation to their height.
Adults with a BMI over 25 are considered overweight and a BMI over 30 is considered obese. Older adults, though, do better if they have a BMI between 25 and 27. Research shows that adults over 65 who are underweight experience more health issues and shorter life expectancy.
While height does factor into the equation, characteristics like muscle definition, age symmetry and overall aesthetics hold importance. But the most common height for successful bodybuilders is between 5' 8 - 5' 10.
The Average Adult Has this Much Muscle
In other words, an average male weighing 185 pounds has about 78 pounds of lean muscle tissue while a female weighing 140 pounds has approximately 49 pounds of lean muscle tissue (note: this is not an “exact” number).
To lose weight effectively and safely, aiming to lose 1 to 2 pounds (lbs) per week may be best. This means that losing 20 lbs may take 10 to 20 weeks. To lose weight, people will likely need to follow a healthy diet and get regular exercise. Some popular diets are effective initially but challenging to maintain.
So, a muscular man at 5'10" aiming for a BMI of 27 would have an estimated ideal weight of around 189lbs using this adjusted formula.
The Current Guinness Record for most weight lifted by a human is now held by the two-time Canada's Strongest Man winner Gregg Ernst. Having already been watched by over 1,000 people lifting two grown oxen, in July 1993, Ernst lifted 2,422.2kg (5340lb), making this officially the world's heaviest lift.
*As a strength athlete sitting at between 10-20% bodyfat (men) and around 18-28% (women) is probably a good place to be.
You can calculate muscle mass using methods like bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), or body composition analysis.
At 10% body fat, a man is just above his essential body fat level. At this body composition you will see muscle striations and definition, six pack abs, and look athletic and fit. However, you may not see as much vascularity as you would in single digit body fat levels.
