What is the ideal weight for a 6'3 male who is 40 years old?

Answer 1

Our customary formula for "ideal weight" for men starts at 110 lbs, with 5 lbs added for each inch of height over 5 feet; as such, age is not a factor in most formulas. If you are 6ft 3 inches, you would start with 110 lbs and add 75 lbs based on height. This result (185 lbs) is usually on the lean side for most people in the real world, consequently an acceptable range might be 10-25 lbs higher, depending on musculature. We use this formula in context with other parameters, such as a maximum waist circumference of 40 inches in men , or BMI (body mass index) of under 25 before mild to severe obesity is diagnosed.

Answer 2

I weigh 150 pounds at just a hair shy of 6'0" and have a body fat percentage under 10%. I can hike any 14er in Colorado below the average, bike from Arvada to Parker and back with no problem, I can rep my weight bench press, and I can split and stack a chord of dried wood in under 4 hours by myself. I am thin, and I would say I'm on the far lower end of what would be considered healthy. But I can tell you I'm much healthier than most people that weigh 175 at 6'0" and that is probably right around average ideal weight
