I'm 24, 5'10", 165 lbs, i sort of have a small frame body type. I lift weights, i try to max out whenever i lift weights and i dont overtrain. If i eat healthy, and exercise correctly, how much could i weigh? So far, i can barely make it to 165 lbs, but i'm not sure if i can get as big as 180 lbs.

Muscle weighs more than fat. As long as you exercise daily and eat a healthy diet, you will gain muscle mass, but this does take some time. You will not see a change over night, but if you continue your routine, you will eventually gain muscle mass in two to three months.

Hi, according to the Body Mass Index (BMI), and given that your body frame is small, your ideal weight should be 160 lbs. Hey, you are actually 5 lbs above. Unless your body frame is big, then your ideal weight should be 180 lbs.
I understand that some guys like to look fit and healthy. Ofcoz you may do so by doing exercises (e.g. boxing or gym & etc) and good diet (refer to the fitness tips from doctors). This can not be done without a long term commitment, self-discipline & persistency. Hope that you will get your true 'ideal weight' as you wish. Good luck!

Damn, slim. You sound like you are in pretty good health. Calm down. Just keep a high protein diet with lots of protein shakes and 3 other high protein meals a day, and work hard and say your prayers and I say in 6 months you will be up to 180. I am 6'3'', 250. Can you believe when I was 18-19 I weighed about 180, I couldn't wait to join the 200 club. But I am sort of fat now. but a lot of muscle too.

It seems to me that you're interested in putting on bulking up. Exercising correctly is actually only half the battle. In fact the main thing you want to focus on is eating a lot of calories. Because in order to add weight you must take in more calories than you burn. Let's say your body burns 1500 calories a day and you are also working out lifting weights so add another 500 calories. That's 2000 calories already. In order to gain weight you would have to consume more than 2000 calories. For starters I would suggest you increase your calories by 250-500 calories and see if you gain any weight at the end of the week. If not, then add another 250 calories. If you are not worried about gaining a little fat some late night peanut butter sandwhiches will definitely do the trick. Let me know if this helps you and please feel free to contact me at geo@4evertoned.com if you need more help.

Eat more protein and carbs, Be glad that you are not 6"1 and weigh 340 lbs just be happy with being 165 and cut. A guy can be hella strong at 165 so just be happy.

It all depends on the person. Personally, if you are trying to get strong by lifting, I would be more focused on how much I can lift, rather than how much I weigh. Granite muscle weighs more than fat, but weight alone is not an indicator of being strong. Everyone has their own max of muscle building. You can only get so far without doing steroids, however I'm not saying to do them.

Everybody is different. Having a small frame does limit the weight to some extent. As you grow older, the muscles tend to be heavier. I am a medium frame, 59 yo, 6' tall and weigh 215 with very little fat. Keep after the weights, son.

Don't worry, you may have stopped growing heightwise but you will still bulk up a bit more. Some men look like they could be NFL players by the time they're 16, but many men don't actually stop growing until they are in thier 30's. Look at John Travolta. He went from toothpick to a formidable man.

you have an healthy BMI (Body Mass Index) of 24. You are the right weight for your height. Just maintain it.
BMI is caculated by= weight(kg)/height (meter square)
healthy range is 18-24
overweight is 25-29
obese is 30 and above.

Sounds to me like you have the perfect swimmer's body or runner, or bike racer.
Some are just leaner than others. Doesn't mean we can't build muscle mass. But do not expect to bulk up quickly.
Do it honest.........no drugs. And you would be just fine at 175.
