my ideal weight, if i have 1,64 meters

• A reddit user suggests using the calculator available at symmetricstrength.com/calculator/ideal_bodyweight to get an idea of body weight range.
  • According to the calculator, for an average man at a height of 1.64 meters with 8-12% body fat, the maximum body weight can be 84.4 kilograms. However, this is for men with 5.5% body fat or less.
  • The average weight of elite bodybuilders at a height of 1.83 meters is 302 pounds, which is around 137 kilograms.
  • Another user suggests that for bodyweight fitness, it’s more important to stay lean than to worry about overall weight, and shares that taller guys like Tom Merrick, Dominik Sky, and Daniel FitnessFAQs, who do advanced BW elements, are around 190-200ish.
• To get an idea of the ideal weight range, the emphasis should be on being as lean as possible with only as much muscle as necessary for performing the exercises wanted.
  • For example, someone who is 6ft tall and weighs 200lbs with 10% body fat and 170lbs with 10% body fat could both be able to do planches and levers, albeit the heavier person might take longer.
• Another user suggests looking at collegiate gymnasts and elite climbers, who are tall and slender with skinny legs.
• The ideal weight range for a person with a height of 1.64 meters and not worried about overall weight might be around 72.6 to 74.8 kilograms (160-165 pounds), based on the calculator mentioned. However, this recommendation is not for a person with 8-12% body fat as in the original query, and it’s unknown whether the range is useful for BW exercises like the lever and planche.

• BMI is a population indicator that is used in ways it’s not meant to be.
  • There is no single ‘optimal’ point of health.
• Muscular guys with low bodyfat would certainly be closer to “prime health” if they weighed less though.
  • They would also have a longer lifespan and reduce their risk for cardiovascular disease and cancer.
• Generally you would want to use waist height ratio for this.
  • If it is under .5 you have a big drop off in all cause mortality.
• BMI is not a good indicator of optimal health.
  • It doesn’t take into consideration any other factors within your lifestyle.
• Usually having a waist circumference of your 0.51x your height or less. 0.48x for women. It’s probably the most robust method you can do at home, to see if you are statistically outside of the risk zone for lifestyle illnesses.
  • There is also the US Navy bodyfat measurement method, it uses waist circumference, height and neck thickness which is perhaps the best available analog method to measure bodyfat.
• None

• BMI formula is weight/height^2.
  • Does not account for %bf or LMM and is a population measure.
  • Useful for most people.
• Muscle mass is not relevant to BMI calculations.
  • If a person is overweight, he or she will have a high BMI.
  • Muscle adds to weight.
  • Enough lean muscle and BMI becomes inaccurate.
• Start tracking your body fat percentage.
  • An estimate can be done through measuring with a tape or calipers.
  • Anything under 20% is relatively healthy, though you’d look better as you approach 10%.
• BMI is a measure of height/weight ratio and is easy to calculate.
  • It cannot calculate muscle mass or body fat.
  • BMI is a quick “at a glance” metric but not useful alone.
• Body fat % is a much better metric.
  • Average male should be at 15-20% body fat to be healthy, 10-15% to be considered “fit,” and under 10% is very athletic.
  • BMI does not consider muscle mass.
• To negate negative health effects associated with a higher BMI, stay under 25% body fat.
  • The overweight range is more of a warning range.
  • BMI applies the terms overweight and obese to people way sooner than we would in normal everyday life.

• The webpage is about a weight loss calculator created by an amateur programmer.
  • It can determine current BMR, predicted weight loss, and more.
• The webpage has some comments offering feedback on the calculator’s features and usability.
  • One user mentioned that the ideal weight given by the calculator is based on a BMI of 22, which is not very accurate.
  • Another user suggested that the calculator should ask for desired weight loss or desired BMI to avoid incompatible values.
  • A user also recommended adding additional information about the different levels of activity.
• The webpage contains a comment from a user who tried the metric version of the calculator, but encountered errors.
  • Another user later reported that it was working fine again.
• None of the comments contain a direct answer to the user’s query about their ideal weight based on their height.

• Comments on the Reddit post about an “Ideal weight chart for men and women”:
  • Some commenters question the accuracy of BMI as an indicator of ideal weight and suggest body fat percentage as a more accurate measure.
  • Some commenters express confusion or disbelief at the recommended ideal weight for their height.
  • Some commenters express a desire to gain or lose weight to reach their ideal weight.
  • One commenter suggests including height in centimeters on the chart.
  • One commenter asks for a conversion of height to feet and inches.
  • Several commenters make jokes or sarcastic comments about the chart or their own weight.
• None of the comments on the Reddit post provide a clear answer about ideal weight for a person who is 1.64 meters tall.

• Ideal Weight Calculator in Metric System based on BMI
  • It applies for people of more than 16 years old men or women.
  • Other outdated formulas are mentioned:
    • Devine (1974)
      • Man: IBW = 50 + 2.3(h - 60)
      • Woman: IBW = 45.5 + 2.3(h - 60)
    • Lorentz (1929)
      • For men: IBW = (h − 100) − ((h − 150)/4)
      • For women: IBW = (h − 100) − ((h − 150)/2)
    • Lorentz (accounting for age)
      • IBW = 50 + (h - 150)/4 + (a - 20)/4
    • Peck’s (1974)
      • Man (18 more than years old): IBW = -130.736 + (4.064 * h)
      • Woman (18 more than 18 years old): IBW = -111.621 + (3.636 * h)
      • Boy (18 years old or less): IBW = -59.6035 + (5.2878 h) - (0.123939 h2) + (0.00128936 * h3)
      • Girl (18 years old or less): IBW = -77.55796 + (6.93728 h) - (0.171703 h2) + (0.001726 * h3)

    • You aren’t going to hurt yourself as low as 144 but 175 seems like a decent goal.
    • You have to be careful losing more than 2 lbs per week.
    • It might be worth having a slightly easier goal, like 188, and see if you want to keep going after that.
  • The best way to determine the ideal weight as an individual is to focus on your body fat percentage after reaching a healthy weight.
    • It would help if you worked with a sports physician to discuss your goals and decide on what a healthy body fat percentage range looks like for you.
  • Some people put on weight in the colder months and get lighter in the warmer months.
  • When most people step on the scale at a doctor’s office, they are wearing clothes that throw off the numbers.
  • They give you a range in BMI because they have no idea how much lean mass you’re carrying around when they put together the BMI charts.
