I know, I am about six four barefoot and weigh 240. According to those charts I am 52 pounds overweight! I wear size 36 waist pants and 2XL shirts. I am 73 and most males who are young enough to be my grandson wish they could look as good from the neck down as I do. I am so fat that when I move my fingers you can see every muscle in the forearm ripple. I go to the gym three times a week and work an average of 27 hours a week at a job that has me on my feet a lot outside. If I tried to drop down to what the chart says I should weigh my wife would go hysterical on me. At that weight I would need suspenders to hold my pants up because a belt would not work. I may drop to 225 pounds but I don’t anticipate going lower than that.
