I’m solidly in group two. I’m 10kg heavier than I was two years ago, and I’m trying to gain more lean mass. I’m 42 and naturally slim - so it’s slow going; but I am gaining weight. I seem to go through bursts where my appetite explodes, a gain a bit of lard, then my eating slows down. Afterwards, as it start to notice that I’ve gotten a bit leaner - I’m not actually lighter, and also have more thighs and back muscle. If I can get another 5-10kg on me, like that, really slowly, over the next 3-5 years - I’ll be super happy. I’m still skinny, but much less so. I’m a health BMI now - for the first time since my late teens. Which is nice.

Bloodwork showed potential detrimental health markers so dropping a few kg atm using the Brodrick Chavez mantra longer lower slower gonna take 15/16 months to drop 30lbs in cycles of cutting and maintaining the new lower weight before I drop again thus keeping strength higher and calories dont drop off the charts

I think its pretty simple in the end of the day, if your an athelet in a strength or power sport you want to be as big but also lean as you can be. Meaning you would lie somewhere in the 10-15 range, if your a SHW 127kg+ even with PEDs you would need to add the fat as a consequence of having that much muslce and surplus. Peope forget that being a SHW is a relative term, i think in the early times of lifting being a super meant being like 120 or 130kg, which obviously now we have 180kg or 200kg supers

So I'm 6'6" and 133kg +/- 2kg and I sit at around 18-20% body fat and I'm honestly unsure whether I should lean out or just lean into getting bigger or just sit at my current physique and get stronger and more technically proficient. I have no chance of getting down from super-heavyweight in a healthy manner without having a massively negative impact on me. I've only really decided to get into weightlifting recently and this is one of the things I'm really unsure what to do with.

I used to be 80 kg as a 188cm skinny dude dude never trained with weights but was in good shape overall. Played basketball,footbal,taekwondo,swimming and more. When I started weightlifting like 2 years go with no serious programming just messing around (still pushing limits though) i eventually reached 94 kgs. I have gained big legs big back and overall definition while gaining weight. I was prone to getting a big back but my weak point was my legs. Now they are decent and I feel way stronger as a person. Now when i did a qucik BMI calculator it showed that i have 26.6 bmi and I am overweight. What ?

Bmi is fairly irrelevant to a training/ athlete population, But it can still be useful to estimate how much you’re pushing the limit of your frame, If you pair your BMI with a good estimate/measurement of Body fat % you’ll get a decent idea of your body composition as it relates to “normal” populations

Depends how good you are. I'm 187cm and weightlifting for performance goals and the boys advised me to get up to the 96 kg class. If you are looking to be a world class competitor you would definitely want to be a super at this height. But you would really want to ask yourself if it is worth the sacrifice to your health. Also, nobody is going to care about you snatching 120 kgs if you weigh 130 yourself, hell nobody is really going to care if you snatch it at 90 kg either so if you decide to do it you should only do it for you

185cm is not really supererheavyweight range. It is quite hard getting so muscular you have an FFMI of 26. So that would put you at 99kg at 11% bf. For 190cm individual this would be 105kg. And for 195cm 110kg. But for achieving FFMI of 26, you need to be genetically predisposed to having a lot of muscle mass (provides no PED use). If you are not able to get that amount of lean mass, you should be in lower weight class than my previous results suggested.
@matthewmckee6289

185cm is perfect for 109. To be honest, unless you are planning to get absolutely fucking massive, I would avoid superheavyweight. It’s all or nothing there in my opinion. If you are just over 109kg competing in SHW, you will end up competing against people who are significantly heavier than you. Unless you are prepared to commit to that, it’s not worth it. Most SHWs are always SHW and started off that way. I can’t imagine many people move up to SHW from lower weight classes.

Height? You sound like you're at a good weight (if you're normal height) and should just focus on training hard. You don't need a big calorie surplus to fuel hard training. That way, you can spend less time cutting. As they said in the video, time spent cutting was a predictor of less top end strength, so eat enough to train hard, and gain weight fairly slowly, and you have a gain train you can ride for years.
