Around 6'1 or 6'2, 250 pounds....
5'11" was up to 178# but got my azz kicked by the flu and dropped to 159# over two weeks recently. Lost a lot of fat but also a lot of muscle. On the plus side, I am showing a "one-pack" If I lost another five pounds that elusive 6-er might really be under there after all. Back up to 163# but it will take me till probably March to get back to where I was. I'm a wicked hardgainer.
My long term goal is 185# and between 10 and 15% bf. Yes, that would make me a men's health covermodel type but it is also one hell of an improvement over my natural state of a severely ectomorphic praying mantis look alike.
I'm not quite 3 years into the iron game and have come up from 124#. You might be able to imagine me at 5'11" and 124#; when I turned sideways and stuck out my tongue people mistook me for a zipper. I look better and feel better.
It is possible to build the body you want. It is NOT possible to build the body that other people want you to have. It takes too much dedication. I would recommend to any newbies to ignore the debates on whether or not you should be trying to look like a benneton model or men's health model or a WWE wrestler. Your opinion is the only one that counts when it comes to your own physique. Just start moving iron.

5'6" currently 165pds bf%appx 12 or 13%? (abs show thru but not very defined).. my chest/shoulders/traps are pretty huge but my biceps/abs/legs need work.. (had to stop working legs for awhile coz of a lowerback injury).. lookin to get to 165pds at 10% bf and then ill be pretty happy.. after that, it'll be mostly maintenance and strength training rather than training to gain mass.. i don't wanna get too big.. alot of chicks dont like that look.. some absolutely LOVE it but the majority dont from what i understand.. i think by being pretty ripped/big you'll pull way more girls than hUUUUGe..

Finally gonna bulk up
Ok, I’m all set and ready for finally achieving my goal, a goal I’ve been waiting to achieve for the past 4 years- Bulking up.
I’ve got everything fixed up- got paid a f*ckload of dough two days ago, and I’ve already got all that is necessary- A gym membership, Protein powder, a personal trainer (who, btw, is goddamn hot!), a schedule, and a mate to push me.
I’ll be bulking up in no time…
I’ve decided I’m only going to go out once or twice a week, in order to preserve sleep and save money.
Anything I forgot? Anything I need to add to my plan?
Cheers,
Irresistible.

5'10" 170 lbs, can't seem to put on the weight.
goal is 180, short term. Maybe by next year or so.

170 is fine for a model. 185, man what kind of model you gonna be at 185? Need to stay very lean to show good bone structure. Who you model for? and you working at club med? where bouts?Originally posted by Jin

I am 220lbs 4% bodyfat during the season. It doesn't feel too great being this low in bodyfat and I lose lots of strength, but after competing I eat like a pig and gain it all back.
Off season I walk around at 6-7% and weight about 240-250lbs.
As for goals, maybe a little more muscle in certain areas, right now I'm putting extra focus into my rear deltoids and hamstrings. I have the ideal body that many men wish and only dream of, but it has taken me years of hard work to get it. My life revolves around bodybuilding.

A lotta guys on here say that you should aim for the "olympic swimmer" or the "model" - look and anything more than that would be too much. I think its pure b/s to simplify it like that. Actually from what Ive experienced your body will be most appealing to (the majority of) women if you got some more muscle than that (I dont really have a picture of any olympic swimmer in mind right now though). I'd say u should aim for a body like wesley snipes for example But all in all I guess yall shouldnt be concerned with getting "too muscular", cause I doubt most guys wont really get any bigger than guys like 50 cent or LL Cool J. And the women still start screaming when they take off their shirts lol.
Of course most women dont like that bodybuilder look, but its just ridiculous to say that at 6ft anything over 200lbs will make u look like a big bodybuilder.
Im 6'3 and a few pounds over 200 (but as I can be a really dumb as fool at times I never really worked out my legs or back, because Ive worked out at home from day 1. Im gonna start hitting the gym next week and start working out legs and back there. I gota some catching up to do..)
My goal is about 220-230 and then cuttin down to 210 or so.
"170 is fine for a model. 185, man what kind of model you gonna be at 185? Need to stay very lean to show good bone structure. Who you model for? and you working at club med? where bouts?"
- Look at Tyson Beckford. He's around 6'2 and I bet hes like 220lbs
By the way, Im not a big fan of all the celebrities I mentioned but there names were the first ones that came to my mind ;-)

Im 6ft-1.
In April, i started heavy lifting at a weight of 198 @ 12% BF.
5 months later (sept), was 230 @ 15 - 17%.
Since then i've been shredding and now i'm about 210 @ 11 - 12%.
Still gotta shed another 7 or 8 pounds.

update: since I've been on my 1-AD/4-AD cycle I've grown to over 200. Not sure what my BF % is, but I can see my abs clearly, so less than 10 %.
I have 10 days to go in the cycle
