how much shoulda 16 year old guy weigh. im 5 foot 8 in. i weigh 130. im in very good shape. ido alot of sports

Answer 1

I'm 5' 8". I think our ideal weight is supposed to be somewhere between 145 and 155. When I was 16, I weighed 160.

If you're healthy, I'd say you're fine. You probaby have a very high metabolism from playing sports. You might want to consider some weight training to put on a few pounds. Talk to a coach at school, a trainer at a gym and/or a doctor before you try to bulk up too much.

Answer 2

that's a good weight/height ratio. Although you could use and extra 15-20 lbs. but it's no biggie. In the off season you'll gain weight because your metabolism slows down. I am the same height as you but i way 145. You're 16, wait until you're 18 and all that will change. You'll gain a few inches in height and a few pounds.

Answer 3

That does seem a little bit skinny to me. You should weigh around 150-160 to me.

Answer 4

Thats kind of hard to answer.
Depending on what type of sport you participate in. You would want to adjust your weight accordingly.(Football=more heavier,Wrestling=more lighter)
But according to to national BMI(body mass index chart) (The chart to help dieticians determine if you are overweight or not) you are right on the money.

Answer 5

based on your height you should be between 140-145, but can also depend on your bone size. You want to try to make most of this weight muscle, not fat. remember muscle weighs more than fat.

Answer 6

yea thats about right for your age i'm 25 5'10 and 185-190 now
and was right about where your at now at that age i think i was about 5-10 pounds heavier i played ice hockey though so they wanted us to get all beefed up and add weight

<--beef cake hahaha

Answer 7

Your weight sounds fine. In the next few years, you'll probably bulk up more, but you're within your weight category.

Answer 8

Seem a bit skinny to me, prob about 150 or so.

Answer 9

You are at the weight you should be.

Answer 10
