Based on your real life appearance what weight category would you be in?

It is not that easy. Some people burn more calories naturally than other people. The people with higher metabolisms are usually teenagers who are still growing all the way into their 20s.

Myself for instance am a naturally skinny fellow. Without weight lifting and just eating around 2500-3000 calories per day, I weighed about 125 lbs and didn't gain a lb. I added weight lifting into my routine off and on and now I am into the 140s. If I stopped lifting weights I wouldn't gain a single pound.

 

Most likely you didn't count your calories correctly, that or you're a freak of nature. Lifting weights in itself does not add mass to your body.

2500-3000 calories is a huge gap BTW when we're talking weight gain.

 

6'3 230lbs of twisted steel. 83" wing span. Coming for Wlad, AJ and Wilder

 

I did. I was eating 6 meals per day. Countless sandwiches and chips, oatmeal, plenty of milk, cottage cheese, meat, etc. I knew I had to eat big to gain weight but it wasn't happening until I started lifting weights. Even calisthenics did nothing for me.

I was alot younger then so its harder to bulk up when you're a teenager with a predisposition towards being skinny.

 

5'10 Cruiserweight. Could maybe theoretically cut down to 175, but I prefer to fight taller and slower fighters. I like to fight on the inside and from close range and I don't see a point in losing too much of my completely functional muscles. I just have a huge frame and I'm really physically strong so I wouldn't really like to drain myself too much.

 

6'4" heavyweight 79" reach.. Pretty strong with fast hands, even at 49. Work the bag everyday.

 

What you're saying make no sense at all.

Let's say you were consuming 2500-3000 cals every single day. You'd have to be working out extremely hard 6-7 days a week not to gain any weight at a bodyweight of 125lbs.

The only logical explanation is that when you started lifting weights you backed off on the intensity of your other workouts which left a calorie surplus enabling you to gain weight.

As I said earlier; the act of lifting weights does not add mass. If this were true I'd be ****ing huge, mate.

 

I only lifted weights 3x per week and didn't do any other training before or during. It was before I started boxing as well.

Idk why but it happened. The body of a teenager works different from someone who is fully developed. If I was a 25 year old then yeah what you are saying would be true but as a teenager it obviously wasn't for me. I kept a very close eye on how many calories I was taking in and wrote down everything.

 

Everyone's different. I'm 5'9", 5'9"1/2 on a good day, weigh about 187. Thing is, I look like I weigh about 165 tops. If I were boxing competitively I'd say I'd need to be 168, or 160 at an absolute minimum - I'd look absolutely gaunt at anything below that (which matters not at all) and, much more importantly, I feel like I wouldn't have any real power or stamina below 160.

 

Im 180cm (5 foot 11) although I like to say I'm 6 foot... Im not sure how much I weigh as my scales vary but I believe I'm around 170-180 pounds ideally I'll like to fight at Super Middleweight due to my height

Although I'm quite fat and if I was to lose weight and put muscle on I reckon I'll be at light heavy

 

I'm 6'1" and currently weigh around 173 lbs. I would get down to 168 lbs and have a crack at Super Middleweight.

 

Diego Corrales was almost 6 feet and he fought in featherweight and lightweight, would you tell him to eat more?

There are lots of body types, so if he is comfortable with his weight, there is no need for comments.

 

I'm exactly the same dimensions. I can probably stretch down to 168 but 160 would probably be impossible

 

Great! Let's spar then

For me, I'm not carrying very much fat and not overly bulked up on muscle either (though I'm in decent shape as far as that goes) so I'm not sure where I'm carrying it. Some of the extra poundage is in the legs for sure - beyond that who knows..
