🙂..Side topic. You're the only one even responding...

I'm 22. Got a solid build—standing 5'10" and weighing about 155 lbs. My goal is to pack on 10 lbs of pure muscle once I hit my "ideal" weight (ignoring muscle mass, obviously). Personally, I think I need to bulk up to at least 175 lbs... just don't want to get soft. Help me out.

as long as it's not just all ego and zero muscle under the chin🙂

Patrick Johnson78 said:Nah. You can't turn fat into muscle... and there's no way you're staying natural and looking that massive and shredded at the same time. Just saying. Look at the pros... 5'11" and 220 lbs... they aren't out here looking soft :P

I get what you're saying 🙂. I just want to look fit, you know? I've already got the definition down—if I could just bulk up a bit while training, that'd be killer... just wondering how much 🙂

Patrick Johnson78 said:basically you're just fat—high body fat %... you could be 220 lbs of pure muscle... low BF, then you aren't fat ))

Turn body fat into pure muscle? Please. 🙂)). If I had 220 lbs of muscle at my height, I’d look like a total blob.

Patrick Johnson78 said:hahahaha ................................ look, I'm 185 lbs and I want more. Not fat or anything... plus I'm an inch taller than you... you can look good at 220 lbs... if you aren't just soft...

I don't buy it, man 🙂..once your face starts getting puffy, you know you hit the limit 🙂

Patrick Johnson78 said:yeah fine. so it's basically like this--no training involved.. if I got that right? but honestly. weight doesn't mean squat.. screw the numbers. what matters is how you look.. if you're happy with yourself. right? you should never just aim for some specific number on the scale...

I get it.. people tell me I look okay.. but like, I'd look better if I put on another 20 pounds.. I'm just worried about looking soft though...

Patrick Johnson78 said:yeah, I get it... just bulk up, hit the gym, eat everything in sight... eventually you'll see progress. say you're 5'9"... you'd need at least 175 lbs... without looking like a total tank... then you'd look killer.. 🙂

The muscle's there—it's just spread out... I've got that build, but man, if I went over 185 lbs I'd look like a complete toddler... 🙂

Patrick Johnson78 said:nothing's perfect... everyone's built differently--like, a guy who's 5'11'' isn't gonna look the same at 175 lbs as someone else... so yeah--it's all about you and what you want... just try to keep that body fat % low...

I'm more of an average build. At 155 lbs I look pretty skinny. Honestly? I think hitting 175 would be the sweet spot. I don't have massive muscle yet, but I'm definitely not scrawny either... you feel me?

Got a question for both the guys and the girls on here. I’m 5'9" and 165 lbs—pretty much a standard build, nothing crazy, everything's where it should be. Now... some people are out here saying 185 lbs would be the "ideal" weight for my height—basically telling me to bulk up. Others are straight up saying I need to drop some weight. What’s actually the sweet spot for a guy? How low or high should I actually aim to go?
