That's actually a good size
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

I don’t wanna be DYEL either though
Just lean bulk without bloatmaxxing or recomp/cut if you're already bloatmaxxed. There's no reason to gain any noticeable amount of body fat.

This is pretty much what I’ve been doing

Thing is the gym gets pretty boring after a while because you can’t increase your lifts after a certain point without bloatmaxxing

I peaked at 140kg x 5 squat / 100kg x 5 bench / 185kg x 5 deadlift while pretty shredded and then my lifts started regressing because I refused to bulk

I'm 5'-11" and 182 lbs. Seems just about perfect, though 175-190 have been good too. Lean, healthy, decent strength. I'm mogging a lot of other 40 year olds. Not so much on misc.

this monster0ultra is either some handicapped basement dwelling weirdo or extremely low IQ thinking hes funny.

IDK if he thinks we are all 12 year olds and cant see hes picking the ugliest "bodybuilders" he googled probably typing ugly bodybuilders, or meatheads, or something similar to skinny fat "models" he also googled, but yeah we aren't this is some high school level stuff my dude.

They say 5 lbs per " if you're a male, 4.5 lbs per " if you're a female.

Bruce Lee: 5'7 - 135 lbs, if he was 6' he'd be 160 lbs

Jackie Chan: 5'8 - 145 lbs, if he was 6' he'd be 165 lbs

Tom Cruise: 5'7 - 150 lbs, if he was 6' he'd be 175 lbs

TBH I think I'd go for 165 at 6". I'm 5'10 trying to go for 155. If you've got more muscle than me, which is probably likely, then maybe 160-165 is good. I think I wouldn't want to be above 170 though.

At least 200 so you cant be tossed easily by giants
220 would be nice if your body type could adjust to the muscle and still have some endurance

But 10 to 15% BF max.
