Men are no less than women, and sometimes more, concerned about their appearance, he alth and harmonious development of the body. This interest is especially relevant for tall men. After all, if a person has a height of 186 cm or more, then on the street the eyes of all passers-by are riveted to him, 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 an excess of weight, he looks ridiculous or frankly funny, and this becomes the reason for the development of all kinds of complexes.
What affects the weight-to-height ratio?
How much should a man who is 186 cm tall weigh? It seems that the answer is obvious - not less than 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 he alth and appearance, giving the impression of some absurdity, disharmony.
This happens because, in addition to the direct ratio of weight togrowth rate on the appearance of a person is influenced by other factors. The main ones are:
- age and accompanying physiological characteristics;
- body type.
Without taking into account these characteristics, one should not begin to deal with one's own appearance. Any man whose height is 186 cm or more, who takes care of his body, but does not pay attention to the innate features of the figure and age-related physiological nuances, will not look harmonious and beautiful.
About body types
Without a doubt, two identical human bodies do not exist, each person is individual. However, there are three major anatomical body types that tall men who are 186 cm or more should be guided by when starting 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. They are the ones to take into account.
What to look out for?
Men with a normosthenic physique, as a rule, have no difficulties with their appearance. They have a wide shoulder span, a not particularly long neck and proportionally sized limbs. Metabolism in such people is moderate, the metabolism is not accelerated or slowed down. The biggest difficulty faced by men with this type of figure who are 186 cm ormore is stoop and lack of relief of muscle mass.
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 visually get acquainted with 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, there is a slowdown in the metabolic process in the body. Accordingly, moderation should be observed in nutrition and preference should be given to he althy 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 shoulder span, but at the same time a short neck and not very long limbs. In other words, these are stocky, outwardly strong, reliable and strong men.
Trying to become slimmer to such people should not be, thin they will look unpresentable. However, it is also important not to allow the presence of extra pounds. The ideal weight for such men is between 76 and 86 kilograms.
It is very difficult to look beautiful and harmonious for thin young men whose height has crossed the mark of 186. The growth of a guy, exceeding the average values, in the presence of an asthenic type of figure, often becomes a source of youthful complexes.
Asthenics have long limbs and a narrow neckchest and not very pronounced shoulder width. They give the impression of elegance and sophistication. The metabolic rate in the body of such people is high, and body fat is practically absent.
The most common mistake tall men with such a physique figure is a manic desire to gain weight and "swing" the muscles. Of course, with the help of special sports supplements and diets in combination with classes, 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 between 69 and 74 kilograms. Of course, natural thinness and a high metabolic rate cannot replace sports, you should not forget about this.
How to determine the type of figure and calculate the weight for a height of 186 cm?
Determining the body type is not so difficult, it can be done just by looking in the mirror. If you have difficulty with a visual assessment, you can resort to using a centimeter. You will have to measure your wrist.
Ratios of wrist size and body types:
- less than 17 cm - asthenic;
- 17-20 cm - normosthenic;
- more than 20 cm - hypersthenic.
Of course, these evaluation parameters only apply to adult males.
You can calculate the optimal ratio of weight and height using Brock's formula. From the size of growth should be taken away 110 men who have not reached the age of forty. Temthose who have already crossed this age line, you need to subtract the number "100". With an asthenic body type, the result obtained must be reduced by 10%. For hypersthenics, the resulting number, on the contrary, should be increased by 10%. Normostenics do not need to perform any additional calculations.
