I'm 5'9" and fluctuate between 195 lbs (summer) and 205 lbs (winter)
I know you are active and we are about the same height. What is the thinnest you have been in your adult life? I got really skinny from running and not lifting, but in the past 165 was ideal for me. I think I could get to 180-190 if I solely focused on lifting, but its not my sole goal. Would like to take an amateur fight at 145 so I wouldn't want to get much bigger then 160-170.
5'9" 190 I do not think I want to get much bigger than this for the foreseeable future....feels like the perfect weight for myself I've been as low as 145 freshman year of high school
Provided you have some mass, just start running on the regular and you will get to 145 ish easily. I am a little taller, but my weight did the same thing I went from 160-145 with running and not lifting as much.5'6 and 160 and change currently.
Ideal for me would be 15 to 20lbs less. Working on it currently
This post. Your av. Makes sense.5'9 120-125. I have crohns disease, so eating can be a challenge. Last time I was tested my body fat was around 8 percent. Im a little bag of lean muscle and bones lol. Really hard to gain mass since i cant eat things high in fiber, but been reading a lot here to try to learn more to try to gain weight. Ideal weight my doctor/nutritionist said should be 155-165. What we are targeting for is 135-140.
Keep working on it with your doc and nutritionist, and other people you trust. There's options and ways to progress, even if you have Chrohns!5'9 120-125.
