Should i follow the recomended weight allowance for my weight and height if i lift weights?

I am 25, 5ft 10 in tall, and weigh 190 pounds. I lift weights 6 days per week and do cardio 4 days per week. Should i still follow the recomended weight for my height which says i should weigh 173 pounds.

No. I keep saying it but those charts are an average. They don't take the individual person into consideration.

I find that many of those bmi charts aren't realistic. If you work out on a regular basis for an hour or so a least 3 times a week, and that's a combination of strength training and cardio. And you weight hasn't change for over 4 months of doing this; your perfect weight is the weight that you are.

I am 5' according to those charts I should weigh a lot closer to 100 pounds. I am at 140. But I body build. I bench 175. I leg press 375. I do 10 miles on the bike 6 days a week. I am well toned and have a well defined body, 38" bust a 22" waist 36" hips but the scale says that I am fat.

Talk to your doctor they can give you a better idea of where you need to be instead of generic information which you may find in a magazine or a book which isn't taking your personal health issues into mind.
