ItT really depends on your frame OP.

You can look bigger at 160lbs (small frame) than at 190lbs (large frame).

If you have a small waist, you gonna be lighter than someone with a large waist (if you have the same LMB and BF)

This guy was 185lbs in this pic




He is 5'10''



Looks bigger than the majority 200lbs or even 225lbs that I know...

Everyone has different muscle insertions, bone structure, etc...
The only way you’ll truly know is if you just cut down and find out for yourself. Scale doesn’t matter anyways. Who knows, you may surprise yourself!

It's acceptable as in you'll still look bigger than a normal skinny guy. But it's nothing impressive, and nowhere near your natty limit.

I have a small frame and small waist. Everyone irl thinks I’m a well built guy and are always suprised when I tell them how much I actually weigh, most of my upper body lifts are 90th percentile strength for lifters

Well I may as well give it a go, with muscle memory I can easily bulk back up again and be bigger albeit softer if I decide I don’t like being that small.

You’d have to be on zyzz level of multivitamins to even come close to that level of lean mass and body fat. Looks great but when you’re on dat dere, it comes down to the right training routine and just eating chit tons of clean calories

Ronnie Coleman is possibly the biggest genetic freak in the history of humanity, those are legit 1 in a billion genetics, actually pointless for the average guy to compare themselves to him

No full grown male should weigh 155 unless they're like 5'5.

Atm isn't natty though. People can keep a good amount of muscle after their tour is over.

It should be but for some reason, people worry too much about a number on a scale.
People liked my body when i was ripped and wouldn't believe i was only a 117 lbs.

I feel like people just don’t understand that people have different frame sizes etc, also most guys way underestimate how much weight they have to lose to get shredded, they walk around bit and bulky at 200lbs and think they’ve only got a few lbs to lose, when in reality they have maybe 20-30, I know I made this same mistake at 188

It's fine if you do other physical activity beside lifting weight like running, swimming, martial arts, sports.
If you're a pure bber..That seems a tad small for 5'11".

6 foot 5, 233LBS and around 15% bodyfat natty checking in.

There is no real answer for that, you need to cut and see for yourself as it was mentioned. In my example, i have like peak weight right now and i look way ****ier then before just coz i gained 2-3% extra body fat. Way smaller guys leaner look better aestheticaly then me. I'm not bad shape at all but i deffo need to shred to like 8-9 % bodyfat and see also. Thats my goal right now. I plan to shredd and check what is my lackluster (which muscles to improve) and see do i even need more muscle mass or not.
...afterwards, I asked him how he ran that fast, and he told me that it is all in the motivation you light in your mind... imagining your own world and blotting out everything else.

So i asked, "What do you imagine?"
He replied, "What do you?"
I told him to run faster, I like to imagine that i am being chased by wolf.
He smiles and says, "In my mind, I am one that is chasing the wolf."

That was the day I started to understand...

I assume you're trolliing, because not a chance in hell if staying natty. I'm 5'11", I'm about 170 in my AVI. There is no way it would be possible for me to add another 30+lbs of muscle and lose fat too.

Depends what you want guy. If you just want to be healthy and look healthy/fit, and be attractive to the majority of women, then you'll be fine at 155. Brad Pitt walks around at 5'10.5 155lbs

You'll still be stronger than the majority of the American population


If you want to be a beast and have an intimidation factor encompassed in your appearance then definitely get bigger

I’d say for the average male around 5’11 their natty limit at 10% bf is probably 170-180lb, maybe some can get a little bigger but they’re genetic outliers
