What should a male average body weight be?

Answer 1

First check the height to weight ratio chart to see if your natural build is around where it needs to be. These charts are really decieving in that; if you are extemely muscular and in shape it may show your overweight due to abundance of muscle you have, and your skeletol frame. There are three main types of builds for men. Keep that in mind. For example Im 5 10 and weight 180 lbs. The chart shows Im "overweight" but in reality I only have 6 percent body fat and work out and run everyday sometimes twice or more. Generally speaking a 5 10 guy should weigh about 155 to a little over 160. If you are wanting to shape up, start your first two weeks with cardio, heres the reason. Jumping in to a weight routine is not beneficial, you wouldn't fire up an old car after 2 years and drive it 300 miles would you? First you need to conidition your body starting with the lungs and the heart, and don't be too hard on yourself, that will come later. As the heart and lungs become stronger and more efficient it will help you in the weight room, you wont tire as quick, your heart is strong enough to pump blood quickly and with less effort and your body is fully oxygenated and able to absorb oxygen at a faster pace resulting in a longer more fulfilling workout. VERY IMPORTANT if you want to start it out right. Remember a work out is only as hard as you make it, so don't waste your own time doing this if you could be working harder on something you can handle.
