You're too fat though. I'm taller than that and well under 100 kilos and have quite a bit of body fat.
I agree.
Get another 10 off and I'm in excellent shape.
And don't use BMI, that's a whole lot of bullshit.
Go with cardio capability, lung capacity, blood pressure, all that sort of stuff. Those are the important measures because they measure individual fitness not some absurd one for all mathematical formula.
If you have "quite a bit" of body fat at your age then I'd suggest you have bigger issues than an old fart like me despite the fact I weigh more.
Here's why:
When I started at teh gym I weighed near enough 120kg. 8 weeks of 6 visits a week later I weighed 120kg.
But here's the kicker, when I underwent the body fat impulse tests I had dropped 9kg of fat and put on 9kg of muscle. That's an indication of how slothful I was before I started gyming it, it's also a very clear message as to why BMI etc is an almost complete waste of time. Right now my body fat is down to a touch over 11%. Too high but at the same time way lower than it used to be. Jumping on the rower my workout is now 1500m in the time it used to take me to do 800, my cross trainer PB is well under half my original time, weights I started at are laughable - I can now bench a best of 107.5kg. It's a huge lift compared to my 38kg starting point (although a large part of it has to do with technique).
So message to everyone is be careful how you measure your weight in terms of too much or too little, more often than not your level of fitness is determined by your exercise regime, not your actual weight.
