Well. There is somewhere the foto of Martin Stlouis legs. That”s the answer. Muscle weighs.
It was more psychological. Too depressed and anxious to bother with eating.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.
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.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.
These numbers mean absolutely nothing in a vacuum.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.
This means that you’re probably fat. And maybe take a trip outside of the United States for once.
A 6'2" man should be 200+ pounds. To weigh 165-170 would be emaciated.
These numbers mean absolutely nothing in a vacuum.
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.
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.He's pretty much just skin and bones with a frame that's far thinner and narrower than your average man.

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.
The easiest way to spot the lies is when you see the players put on 10-15lbs in an offseason. Those numbers, if true, are steroid numbers. Even if the guy is 20, an athlete who's been training for 10 years (and these guys all have been) isn't going to put on 10lbs of muscle in an offseason, no matter how serious he takes it or how much of a bulking diet (GOMAD lol) he's on.
Yeah but not every athlete will want to do that. 10lb of raw muscle can easily affect speed, balance, acceleration, etc if not done properly.You can absolutely add 10 pounds of muscle in an offseason without steroids. Lots of athletes train doing silly stuff in those 10 years instead of a novice progression of strength training.
Totally agree here. I'm 5'11" and a good weight for me is like 185 or so. That said, I've been 190 and felt my pants were fitting my waist better than when I was 175...its a difference is muscle mass....not a hugely noticeable though. Someone mentioned ideal weight as well based on internet, etc. If you take my height, etc. and plug into a formula it will spit out a number. I can tell you this....I can't remember ever weighing that number, not even at 16 years old....though I can't remember what I weighed then. Point is, if I weighed that my wife would wan to take me to the hospital as she's be worried I was dying.It's all about build. Most athletes obviously have more muscle than your average person. As a washed up hockey player turned gym rat, I'm 5'10 215ish, and there's dudes of similar height yet 30lbs lighter who look fatter than I am.
In the case of hockey players specifically, our legs are massive from a lifetime of training. It makes sense that to be much heavier than your average person.
