Hockey players' body weight

Well. There is somewhere the foto of Martin Stlouis legs. That”s the answer. Muscle weighs.

Sorry to hear you were ill, but I would state setting realistic fitness goals for healthy weight loss is a lot different than, "I got sick and lost a lot of weight that way." Apologies if I misinterpreted what you meant here.

I experienced severe muscle atrophy due to a prolonged illness and stay in hospital, and I entered the hospital at a healthy weight and lost 35% of my weight at its lowest point and at no point did I feel or look healthy or would be considered to be in good health.

Nobody with cancer says "I always wanted to be thin like this." Just as everyone's bodies are different, there are healthy or unhealthy weight loss methods.

It was more psychological. Too depressed and anxious to bother with eating.

Point is, I've gotten a chance to see myself at a wide array of weights (almost a 100-pound window) I hated absolutely everything about my body and physical performance at a weight that most people insist is a healthy weight for my height. And that's unrelated to any physical illness. I was weak and looked like a skeleton. My ribs started showing at 180.

Some people are just big. As I've mentioned, I'm a bit out of shape now, but I was 222 when I was in the best shape of my life. That's right before I had my difficulties. I was 23 and lean as hell. I wanna go back in time.

6'2" and 170lb is a BMI of 21.8. 200+ would be in the overweight category, which is fine if you're an NHL player and it's your job to add muscle, but not if you spend more time posting on here than in the rink or the weight room.

BMI doesn't account for muscle mass vs fat, among other problems. Hardly a reliable indicator of anything other than the formula needing a number at the end.

I looked up a ton of players height and weight in the last few years and it does seems a little odd that almost every player is no smaller that 6 feet and lighter than 190 pounds. I have a feeling they are exaggerated, but can never understand why.

These numbers mean absolutely nothing in a vacuum.

If Mitch Marner is 180 pounds then the Pope isn't catholic. No way that man is milligram over 155 lbs and that's probably pushing it.

 

[Masked]

This means that you’re probably fat. And maybe take a trip outside of the United States for once.

I might be fat but at 200 pounds I'm not. And I've spent maybe three days in the United States in the past decade so a trip outside it isn't really necessary.

 

[trellaine201]

The listed weights of players are exaggerated remember i would minus 5 lbs at least.

 

[Hennessy]

WTF is up with all these off-season threads?

 

[Acallabeth]

A 6'2" man should be 200+ pounds. To weigh 165-170 would be emaciated.

Here is a 6'2, 168 lbs NBA player. He's not emaciated, he's just slim.

And yeah, most non-athletes who weigh 200+ pounds at 6'2 height could benefit from cutting some weight. The standard of 'people can't say that I'm obese from across the street' isn't really high lol.

In my my very early 20's, I had a started growing a big belly, skinny arms, huge quads from hockey, tennis, other sports (that I hadn't played in over 3 years). Bad posture, etc. I'm 5'8. Was 186 pounds. Joined a gym, started working out like crazy, eating healthy. Booze only on Saturday nights.

3 years later, I was pretty muscular (like toned, not bulgung muscles). Had a 4 pack, big arms that were rock solid, quads that were solid, big chest etc.

At my physical peak, I was obviously still 5'8, and weighed....185 pounds.

Which is why I mentioned the context of whether the 200+ lb person is a professional athlete or not

He's pretty much just skin and bones with a frame that's far thinner and narrower than your average man.

Legs are such a big muscle group and they really do weigh a lot. I have wide hips and tend to hold mass really well especially in my quads, trunk. I'm 6ft and come in at 185~sh. I'm athletic, i run and lift daily. When you look at me in clothes, you probably wont even say i lift, but take clothes out of the equation or look at a good angle and there will be signs. Big bone bodytype and/or bone density also adds to it. My bonestructure is like a girls, my palm for example is so small i can hardly fit my D in my hand.

You're not wrong, the point is there are men who are muscular enough to be pro basketball players and still slim enough to not even weigh 170 lbs.

In fact, I looked up 6'2 NBA players and they are almost all (18/23) below 200 lbs. And none of the countries with average male height over 6 feet is anywhere close to the average weight of 200 lbs (and this is with today's pandemic obesity). I think your image of an average man is overweight.
