Reply With QuoteNo, those do not apply to athletes, or very muscular people. And, anyway, they are very outdated.
And a chart I just referenced gives those values for both men and women.
In any case, checking your body fat percentage and waist girth is a better way for people with higher muscle mass to get a very rough idea of their level of fitness.
My bf is 6'2" and he looks like skeletor at any less than 190.
