For me it was 18 stone 2lbs (254) after Christmas 2016. I had an injury therefore wasn't training, plus ate loads as I do each Christmas so blew into a fat balloon.
I'm sure that's nothing to the size of some of the behemoths on here.

296.5. I started to have issues with sleep apnea which were freaking me out so I downsized. I am like 262 right now and am probably going down to 250. I have been doing this in a very slow steady sort of way over months. My back feels a lot better as well, fat in your middle must put a really uneven load on your spine, kind of like a woman with a huge bust and weak back muscles always being in pain.

236 @ 5'11" .... barely a six pack... ::) ,,,, contest weight... 202.... currently 211... probs 14%.... like it here...

255(253 constant) at 6’4 and felt like a pig. I’m at 235 now and would still like to be ten pounds lighter but ripped. Was my strongest at 242, I benched 410 and squatted 505 for a double. Never got close to maxing our on dead’s but could stiff leg 405 for sets of 8-10. My back is paying for that now.

405 on stiff legs for 8-10 sounds like it would cause serious back issues.

220 is the most i ever weighed. 215 right now.

Forget bodyweight, although kudos to Darren, who feels like a dying remnant of a once very funny site, have any other old farts (who used to carry some competitive muscle) noticed how quickly you can swell up even though you don't train / hormone like you used to?
I sit at 235 eating 1-2 meals a day, when I train hard for a month I'll go to 245, and when I take an extended 2-3 week holiday, train high volume and high frequency, and eat a lot I swell up like I'm on dbol by 30lbs in 3 weeks. Based on how quickly that weight drops right back to the starting point (3 -4 weeks) I don't think I put more than 7lbs of blubber on, which means a lot gets turned into glycogen and water retention. I look and feel like I'm doing a cycle without the sex drive bump.
It's like my old man muscles, because they have been there before (and were there a long time) are more receptive than even 20 yrs ago, when I was in my mid 20s.

I actually got to a max of 210-lb about a month ago, believe it or not. That is unusual for me, as I have been 170-lb at 5'8.5" for basically my entire time on Getbig [from 2006 to 2016, weighing a bit less from 2003 to 2006]. But my waist also went from 29.5" to 34", so...I'm going straight back to 170-lb. I am around 200-lb on the nose now, and I expect the drop to 170-lb will only take me 40 days.
For perspective, this is how I want to look again. I was 169-lb here - the pictures are from my first [local] strongman contest in the open weight category. Naturally, I placed last, but even completing all the events was a great experience for me. I also want to start training strongman again as I get leaner, in advance for the upcoming contest season:
-
Around 252Lbs if I recall at 5’61/2 still had abs.

Used to.....torn pec and herniated disk put a stop to that.
Back to training to look good now, with some elements of functionality
I dip into event training now and then and working as PM on a construction site I make a point of doing something physical everyday to get HR up and a sweat on.

DUDE. Thats exactly what I'm going thru right now. I took a 4 year break from lifting and am back for 4 weeks now. I'm seeing changes like I was when I was on a fair bit of gear. My heaviest was 230 but water balloon my best look is a lean 200-210 somewhere in that area. I'm around 200 in the am @ 5'11", lean but not shredded. Not a monster by any means but respectable for 4 weeks progress. All the muscles that pop out most when on gear are popping out though, shoulders are coming back with a vengeance man, as is the back. Been training with a partner for the first time since I was 17 too, I've had to do a fair amount of coaching with him which has made me keep my game up too. It really is good to train with someone motivated in the same direction as you.
I just wanna hit 455 for a single on deadlifts this year. If I can do that I'll be super happy. Benching and squatting I don't really care about.
