Whats a good fighting weight for me??

Question

i am about 5'7" and i want to get really buff but not TOO big that i become stubby and can't fight. i go to the gym a lot too, and take protein shakes, but what weight should i go for or what could i do to get huge and still be fast and look nicely toned?

Answer 1

At your height, guys that are fit (in my personal experience) weigh anywhere from 145-175.

At 175, you would be heavy for your height though and would have to fight guys with longer reaches.

You are probably best staying in the 145-<174 range.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I don't think you are serious about becoming a fighter since you seem more concerned about your physical appearance than you do your fighting ability, but...

Given your stated goals, I would say 170 would be the best weight class for you.    

If you told us your age and how much you weigh now, we could probably give better answers.  

Answer 3

well im 5'7 as well and i would fight at, if you are talking about mma, 155 which is light weigt or you can fight at 145 which is featherweight i think. or you can fight at 170 which is welterweight. i wouldn't go beyond that.
