I'm 6'1" and 205 pounds. And I'm a fat tub of goo. My "healthy" weight maxes at 190. My preferred weight is 180. My racing weight, lo those many years ago, was 168.

Frankly, I reject the "Clydesdale" moniker for myself because I think it's a dishonest euphemism. I got fat by eating too much and not exercising enough, and I'm not going to hide the facts behind pretty words.

Having said all that, it's not my business what other people want to do. You can be a "Clyde" if you want - and just because 180 pounds is good for my build doesn't mean anything about anyone else's. Heck, I was primarily a track racer and there were/are plenty of those folks who are 6' 1", 205 pounds - and 5% body fat. What do you call a guy who's 6' 1", 205 pounds, and 5% body fat? I dunno, but "sir" is a good place to start!
