Men are no less than women, and sometimes more, are concerned about their appearance, health and harmonious development of the body. Especially relevant is such interest for tall men. After all, if a person is 186 cm or more tall, then on the street he will be confined to the looks of all passers-by, simply because he stands out from the crowd. A tall man cannot afford not only to be untidy, but also physically undeveloped. After all, with a lack of muscle mass or with excess weight, he looks ridiculous or frankly funny, and this becomes the reason for the development of all kinds of complexes.
What affects weight to height?
How much should a man weigh, whose height is 186 cm? It seems that the answer is obvious - at least 86 kilograms. But everything is not as simple as it seems. It is not so rare to see tall men who do not experience any problems with weight and are attentive to their own health and appearance, giving the impression of some absurdity, disharmony.
This happens because, in addition to the direct correlation of weight with the growth rate, other factors also influence the appearance of a person. The main ones are:
- age and related physiological characteristics;
- body type.
Without taking these characteristics into account, one should not begin to engage in one's own appearance. Any man with a height of 186 cm or more, taking up his body, but not paying attention to the innate features of the figure and age physiological nuances, will not look harmonious and beautiful.
About body types
No doubt, two identical human bodies do not exist, each person is individual. However, there are three large anatomical body types that tall men should be guided by, whose height is 186 cm or more, proceeding to improve their own appearance.
The main anatomical types of male physique:
- normosthenic;
- hypersthenic;
- asthenic.
Each type of figure is characterized by certain features both in appearance and in physiology. It is them that must be taken into account.
What to look for?
Men with normosthenic physique, as a rule, have no difficulties with appearance. They have a wide range of shoulders, not very long neck and proportional size of limbs. Metabolism in such people is moderate, the metabolism is not accelerated and not slowed down. The biggest difficulty that men with this type of figure face, having a height of 186 cm or more, is stoop and lack of muscle relief.
Such people do not need to "blindly" gain weight or "swing" in the gym to unimaginable sizes. They look harmonious when they correspond to classical Roman or Greek proportions, which you can see visually by looking at any of the ancient statues, for example Apollo. Men with a height of 186 cm and this type of figure should weigh no more than 82 kg and no less than 72.
With a hypersthenic physique, as a rule, a slowdown in the metabolic process in the body is observed. Accordingly, moderation should be observed in the diet and preference should be given to useful and easily digestible foods.
Outwardly, these people with high growth resemble fabulous heroes, Vikings, Roman legionnaires or King Kong. They have an extremely powerful torso, a very wide shoulders, but a short neck and not very long limbs. In other words, these are stocky, outwardly strong, reliable and strong men.
Such people should not try to become slimmer, they will look unpresentable thin. However, to prevent the presence of extra pounds is also important. The ideal weight for such men is the interval between 76 and 86 kilograms.
It is very difficult to look beautiful and harmonious for thin young men whose growth has exceeded the mark of 186. A guy's growth that exceeds average values, in the presence of an asthenic type of figure, often becomes a source of youth complexes.
Asthenics have long limbs and a neck, a narrow chest and not very pronounced shoulder width. They give the impression of grace and sophistication. The metabolic rate in the body of such people is high, and fat deposits are practically absent.
The most common mistake of tall men with such a physique is a manic desire to gain weight and “swing” muscles. Of course, with the help of special sports supplements and diets in combination with exercises, this can be achieved. However, they will not look harmonious, they will turn into a "mountain of muscles", devoid of natural charm and charm. The best weight for men with this type of figure with a height of 186 cm is the gap between 69 and 74 kilograms. Of course, natural thinness and a high metabolic rate cannot replace sports, do not forget about this.
How to determine the type of figure and calculate the weight for height of 186 cm?
It is not so difficult to determine the type of physique; this can be done simply by looking in the mirror. If you have difficulty with a visual assessment, you can resort to using a centimeter. Will have to measure the wrist.
Ratio of wrist size to body type:
- less than 17 cm - asthenic;
- 17-20 cm - normostenik;
- more than 20 cm - hypersthenic.
Of course, these assessment parameters are applicable only to adult men.
The optimal ratio of weight and height can be calculated using Brock's formula. Of the magnitude of growth should be taken away 110 men under the age of forty. Those who have already crossed this age line need to subtract the number “100”. With an asthenic body type, the result should be reduced by 10%. Hypersthenics, on the other hand, the resulting number should be increased by 10%. Normostenics do not need to perform any additional calculations.
