If a grown male weighs under 180 it means he has no muscle mass.
I do have a pretty large chest, but I have very large thighs and calves. In high school at 220 I could dunk a tennis ball and my PR in the 200 was 24 flat.
Football and basketball player with very large legs.
Not that it’s any better, but just reminder to all that this isn’t pant size. Medical waste circumference is measured at the top of the iliac crest just below the belly button. This is much higher than most people wear their paints and waste circumference for men is almost always larger than hip level where pants are worn. So a 40” waste is likely a 34 or max 36” pant size.
Wrong. If a grown male of average height is over 180, he is probably overweight.
Agreed, which is why a 46x32 athletic fit pair of jeans is absurd. I have yet to think of a scenario in which someone with those measurements looks athletic.
I’m 6’3” and 168lb and 32” waist.
48 years ago I was 6’3” 210lb and also had a 32” waist.
Just shows there are a lot of factors involved here.

My dad was 135 pounds when he left Clemson as a professor in 1942 and went to the Pacific theatre. Was a lot smaller when he got back
What’s average height? I was 190 in highschool working out and playing basketball. If you’re saying 5’8” is average then yeah.
I’m not following you. A 46” waist paired with a 32” inseam is anything but an athletic build.
I’m a 36-38 length depending on the pants/company. You’ll have to order everything. You won’t be able to buy stuff in stores.
It's hard to find a suit for me. I wear a 46 L jacket with a 36" waist. Off the rack has a 40 or 42" waist. It's either custom or suit separates, which I don't like for some reason
Banana Republic has 33x31 on their website in pretty much all pants and shorts I believe.
5’10” 200 wearing 36x32 pants. Work measures ny waist at 38” or 39” for our company wellness program.
I’m 37, am 6’3” and 216 ish with a 34” waist. I work out regularly but my doctor insists that I lose about 10 to 15 pounds. I could tighten up my mid section a little but I do think the “fat” scale is a little skewed.
I feel like most MD’s still operate using the outdated BMI chart. If you have any kind of muscle mass at 6’3 216, you are probably in better shape than 80% of Americans.
I do have some muscle mass. I have 4 year old twins. When they were born I stopped working out for about two years, and got out of shape. The crazy thing is I weighed about 5-10 pounds less than I do now. I have added good weight the last year and a half.
Yes. That kind of proves the point of this thread. 150 for a 5`8“ male is great, but by U.S. standards people think it's sickly.
You sound healthy. But at 65 that might be too heavy. Especially if you become pre diabetic. Unless you need to be that heavy for wrestling or football or something then 205 is healthier.
