I think the point he was trying to make is that you need to put on muscle before trying to sculpt it.

actaully there are a lot of PL's out there today that keep their weight well below 200 in order to maximize their lift efforts. i know plenty of guys in the 160-180 range that press weight well over 2x their body weight. buddy of mine recently competed in the 165lb class and bench 365, squat 505 and dead 560.

It would have to depend on your height. 200 lbs and 5'1" would be rather fat.

200lb is just a milestone.
It's a round number and it's (relatively) big by normal standrads.
Other than that Seyone was spot on.
Too many people focus on little things too much while missing the bigger picture.Being held down by The Man
