What do you think is genetic limit weight/muscle for a 6' natural bodybuilder?

Chris Bumstead Mr. Olympia is like just 6'1 and he was on stage at 220

I know Regan Grimes is like 5'11 and Antoine Valliant 6' and they are huge but in the beginning of their careers they were like 230-240

I guess the question is, how much less would they weigh if they never got on OJ?

and how much difference in muscle compared to the less genetically gifted average population

Steve Shaw's Natural Bodybuilding Potential Formula
While this formula is quite complicated, I have simplified it a bit over the years. My variation streamlines Dr. Casey Butt's formula while only sacrificing a very minor degree of accuracy.

Basically, a 5'10" lifter has the potential to pack on 178 to 180 pounds of lean body mass. This is the weight if you had absolutely zero body fat. Obviously, this is impossible. You would be dead if you had no fat. Still, this number helps us to calculate a reasonable weight goal for body fat percentages ranging from 10 to 40%.

For every inch above or below this height, add or subtract 4 to 5 pounds of lean body mass, respectively.

The following chart compares the maximum lean body mass potential, body fat percentage, and overall weight.
Height LBM (No Fat) 10% 15% 20% 25%
5'4" 153 170 180.5 191 204
5'5" 157.5 175 186 197 210
5'6" 162 180 191 202.5 216
5'7" 166.5 185 196.5 208 222
5'8" 171 190 202 214 228
5'9" 175.5 195 207 219 234
5'10" 180 200 212 225 240
5'11" 184.5 205 218 231 246
6'0" 189 210 223 236 252
6'1" 193.5 215 228.5 242 258
6'2" 198 220 235 248 264
6'3" 202.5 225 239 253 270
6'4" 207 230 244.5 259 276
this seems kind of like a good guideline, thanks misc

A lot depends on skeletal frame. My buddy is only an inch taller than me but I look like a tank next to him because he has thinner bones and a more narrow frame, especially at the shoulders.

The thing is that there can be a 20 lbs difference between a dehydrated and deflated 8% and a carbed up 10%, and IMO the carbed up 10% would look better so these guidelines get tricky.
"The flowers bloom, then wither... The stars shine and one day become extinct. This earth, the sun, the galaxies and even the big universe, someday will be destroyed. Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."

Height is only a small part of natural limits. Wrist size or overall bone structure is very important as well

Say, ˹O believers,˺ We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us; and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants; what was given to Moses, Jesus, and other prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them. And to Allah we all submit.

People differ. I would say for 6', with plenty of leg weight and top genes, someone could weigh comfortably above 200.
