Do you think 160 pounds and 6 feet tall is a good weight?

[RyanEC]

I have been trying to get down to 12% body fat.
Right now I am 160 pounds, 6 feet tall and body fat percentage around 17% according to my scale.

It sounds like something isn’t being calculated correctly. 6 foot tall and a 160 pounds is way too thin…. and I cannot comprehend that body fat percentage…..

When I was in my late 20s lifting and cycling a significant amount, I was 5’10” tall, 210 pounds and 9% body fat.

[RyanEC]

I don’t know my body composition scale might be off.

But I used a regular scale and it said around 160 so I guess my body fat percentage is lower.

You’re tall and slim…skinny, really.

can you move your own body weight?

there's your balance. Slim but enough strength to move your own weight around.

bench your own body weight 10 times. 10 pull-ups. 50+ push-ups. Just ballpark goals.

if you’re ever hanging off the edge of a building you’ll wish you had some upper body strength

I'm surprised that your body fat percentage is that high at your weight, but it's OK. You can get rid of some of that fat through cardio, light weightlifting and diet.

[RyanEC]

My scale might be wrong counting body fat percentage.

[Avicenna]

I think it is

[Chazmatazz269]

Probably a little light. I think the BMI suggests that a six foot tall man should weigh roughly 180-185ish.

I think that is underweight from one who is 6'3 and 192... YOur call? feel healthy?

[RyanEC]

I feel pretty good.
Once my body fat is low enough I will focus on growing muscle.

[Guy13]

Different way of exercise. You should start that now. Your muscles will break the fat down and use it to heal. You are actually making it twice as hard to put muscle mass on says the university soccer scholarship guy ;-)

[SiberFox]

That means you're skinny fat, I'm the same height and weight approx. 10 lbs more with 12-13% body fat

[RyanEC]

I’m trying to get there.

[SiberFox]

Consistant food and sleep is about 80% of it, working out it important but its not where most of the weight gain/loss comes from

[mobiusforniner]

Seems a little twiggy dude. Im not about being fat, but go get a big mac once in awhile.

[Ms_Facesitter]

What's the BMI saying?

[RyanEC]

It’s 22.

[Ms_Facesitter]

Follow that and you'll have this solved in no time
