Weight Held Back by Military

No offense brah, but you’re kind of fat. I’ve never been a sick abz guy, but you are not carrying enough muscle mass to warrant your body fat %. I would trim down and then reevaluate your plan of attack next time you bulk up.

I am curious to know if you can even be a SEAL at 5’6"?


I remember reading an article about this guy awhile back. I even think the Air Force used him in a marketing campaign. So the moral is, just don’t be a fatty.

Name: Kenyatta Wilson
Age: 28
Occupation: United States Air Force 10 yrs. Network Administrator

David Henry is Air Force also.

On my base, there weren’t many guys bigger than maybe 220-230 but I trained with two that were Staff Sergeants who were hitting 250-260lbs+ shorter than me.

This is interesting… I would assume they tape a lot of necks using this chart.

I’m gonna be an electrician not a seal

I have’nt made weight in almost 10 years…and I am not even that damn big.

My uncle was in the Air Force for 26 years and made it to Colonel. He got up to around 260 lbs at about 6’1", so he was a big dude. Mind you, this was back in the 70s and 80s. He told me that they would measure his bicep and put it into some formula like the other guys were talking about. He’s the guy who pretty much revolutionized PT for the Air Force. He’s the reason why there are gyms on Air Force bases. Professor X, you’re welcome haha.

Lol I think he was joking about you being a SEAL.

And like others have mentioned man, you shouldn’t be concerned with breaking your allowable weight max right now…you should drop the chubs, then try to stay a bit leaner than before while working up to (and over, if you decide to) that 170 lbs.

Great job if you dont plan on making th eNavy a career. Electricians never make promotion, but they get all the same schooling civilian electricians get, so pros and cons. What type of electrician? Gas Turbine Systems or General Electrician? Big difference.

Tha Navy’s BF% for males max is 22%, but in some cases you can get a waiver for 23%(rare). If you are over your weight limit(everyone is just about) then they take your waist circumference and subtract it from your neck and use that number to determine your BF%. Failing weigh-ins is no problem, failing the tape measurment is a problem.
