Nope, us gym rats usually just care about the 1RM(one rep max). I lift for the fun of it, I also cycle for the fun of it, in neither situation am I trying to compete with anyone but myself, in both I am always trying to beat my previous best.
We are all trying to hit our ideal be it bulk and strength or nimble endurance, sadly the two don't mix as well as I had hoped, you will suffer in one, the other, or both if you try.

I got pneumonia last week so I'm right under 130 pounds. I'm about 5' 7" (a bit over).
I think road skinny means your BMI is 20. Mine is at 20.2. So I'm about one or two pounds from hitting that "goal." I don't really care to be that skinny unless I actually start racing (doubt it).

I was probably at my skinny best around age 30 when at 5'8" I weighed 150 lbs and wore 30 inch waist trousers. 20 years later I teeter more or less midway between 160 and 170 and wear 32 inch waist pants, which fit slightly loose. I doubt I'll ever see 150 lbs again, excepting some kind of illness. 160 would be nice.
Curiously, my overall level of physical fitness is better now than then. Back then I was just skating on good genes and a high metabolism.

PS. While you corrected whatever spelling mistake you had, you forgot to correct your solecism

Well if you are going by 2lbs/inch (not that I necessarily agree with that) then I am spot on.
