Hi
I am 33, 6'2",medium built 208 lbs right now but going down was 238 lbs a few months ago had to stop activities for almost 10 months due to injuries and i have been doing alot of cardio lately and now i am starting the weight training again.I keep checking on the net all those Ideal weight calculator base on your height and age BUT are these really accurate? because for a 6'2" male they say the ideal weight is between 148lbs-194lbs but come on 150 lbs at 6'2" your just skin and bones,people that do weight training can't go by does weight calculators right? thanks

No, 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 And, anyway, they are very outdated.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.

I do not agree at all with the Body Mass Index or the weight calculators....
