If he was a front five forward in rugby, then they would be pretty small.

I'd say 6'5, 230lbs for someone who is not natty would deem them to be a tiny tit.......

.....  ::)

But I agree with you on the bodyfat part. You can be 250lbs and look like a skinny-fat guy who never touched a weight..

Just numbers..

you must be fat as fuck. ;D


somone 6ft.2 with low bodyfat and no muscle would be 170lbs, so you have put on over 60lbs of muscle naturally or you are fat as fuck.

we all feel "small" sometimes otherwise we wouldn't be doing what we do

whether you are powerlifter or bodybuilder

I honestly think people place too much import on stats. I seen people with impressive "stats" big arms, big legs etc who in the real world look like complete shit.

someone can have unimpressive stats but be incredibly well developed and blessed with structure etc...

I'd have to agree, though 6'5 230lb on gear is still below average genetically, even if he is lean. Also depends how much gear we are talking

fair question, no offence.  i was 225 before i juiced. 12 years of very solid natural training. i juiced sporadically from 1990 until 2007. there was years in between where i never used. no hrt. no tapering off. when the contest was over, i just quit all drugs that day. usually wouldn't workout once in the six months after the show.

my last contest was sept 2007. i was 234.5 lb. on stage. since then i haven't trained, drank tons of beer and ate whatever i wanted. my weight hasn't been under 230 or over 240 in this entire period. i check it weekly. at one point i had a bit of a beer belly, but i haven't been drinking as much and that is gone. so in the last year, no drugs (other than pain meds) no training and gone from abs to chubby to in between with no change in bodyweight.

btw, juiced i would blow up to 260-270 quickly.

230 at 6'5" is small/average, I figure someone 270ish at that height would qualify for big guy status among regular folks. In bodybuilding terms you'd need to go #300+

Howard Stern is 200ish that height.

6'5 230lbs and NOT NATURAL is tiny, Michael Jordan at 6'6 weighs about there?

Jordan was 6'6" and about 215 in his prime. About 225 when he came out of retirement for the second time and was a little chubby.

Still small.

I always remember when i first started training there were like 5 guys in my gym i thought were massive. Maybe because id never been in gyms before.

Fast forward 5 years and 2 gyms and one of those guys was still training at the same gym as me, maybe looked a little bit better. I had passed him by a lot. Still didnt think i looked big  ;D

Now im well beyond where i was there. point is, to the general public, 230 at 6 foot 5 is probably big. We all just compare ourselves to the pros who probably also think they look small  ;D
