I strive for this tbh, it's just small enough to not look comical as a manlet.
That's natty limit for most guys, Ronaldo also has very good insertions and wide shoulders.
Most of the guys I posted have at least average to decent frame, but this poll is about muscle to fat ratio. You're probably a framelet.
5'9 185lbs. You?
I'm skinnyfat with some muscle, I voted skinnyfat. I have decent shoulder width, but small wrists.
If you don't lift or anything, you're probably chubby even though 24 BMI is technically "normal" weight. Most men look chubby or skinnyfat without clothes at 22+ BMI if they don't have muscle.
Yea, normal weight should probably be considered BMI of 22-23 or lower.
Yes tbh.
I agree. For regular non-lifting average men (skinnyfat soyboys), normal range should be 19-22. Most men are going to look a bit chubby at 22+ bmi if they also have low muscle mass.
Muscle mass is not that important. It's all about being lean (8-10% bf, 12% MAX.) Obviously being very skinny or underweight is also bad, especially if you have a below average frame. A lot of skinnyfat men fall for the bulking meme. Women despise body fat on men, especially facial fat.
My BMI's about the same and I don't look lean or fat, just normal. Average if average wasn't fat. Even getting to that level of leanness is leagues better than being skinnyfat. Even if you don't have a deep six-pack, at least you don't have a pot-belly or man-boobs.
My body type has always been skinnyfat but I've been working out for about 4-5 years and now it's in between skinny and athletic.
You probably just weight too much. 69kg at 173cm is pushing it unless you have a decent muscle mass.
It's mostly muscle mass. Before I Gymcelled, my weight was 56-60 KG and I still looked fat. Now I gained over 10 KG just mucles. I was even up to 71 KG and now 69 since I run a lot. I have a lot of muscles but you cant' see all because it's hiding under the fat.
Skinnyfat sucks because no matter what you do you'll end up either skinny or fat for a while. If you cut, you'll be skinny. If you bulk you'll get visibly fat/bloated. You have to choose one if you want to get even close to your goal body.
You're going to have to cut to 63-65kg to look good without a shirt. It's possible you only really gained 5-7kg of muscle, not quite 10kg. Bottom line is, you have extra fat you need to cut. It's more important than muscle.
