How Much Should I Weigh at 6'2 to Look BIG?
I'm trying to get bigger but im starting to reach a bit of a plateau... my natural body shape is ectomorphic I'd say, and i cant help but feel i've got as big as im going to be able to with my muscular potetial...
I'm 90kg, 14 stone 2, 198lbs at 6'2 (up from 12 stone dead) While I no longer feel skinny I dont feel big enough.
At what weight (assuming no excessive fat gains) should you look "BIG" at 6'2?

depends what you mean by BIG mate
big enough for people to think "he cant be that big without training"

If you believe weight-training stunts your growth, which personally i do.. just do natural muscle gaining excercises, such as pressups, but in large quantities, try and go up 10+ pressups each day, and you should not only feel 'bigger', but look it to.
Why do you believe it stunts your growth?

This, this is how to not do things.

Body builders are a waste of space.
Can you afford all that muscle? personally if you want strength gains and size, start with your base, which are your legs. Train them and your body will follow.
Dont forget upper body stuff. I can't recommend you anything because I dont do isolation crap which is simply terrible IMO and something up your alley.
16 stone? my dad is like 6"3 or 4 i think he weighs like 18 stone and he doesnt look fat at alllll but he does do lots of exercise

Well, I was going to say 14 stone. Im 6"2 and weight 12.5 stone and want to get up to 13.5 with really low body fat as I have right now. Whats your bf like? I think it looks much more impressive when men are ripped with 6 pack

to be honest 13.5 to 14 stone is when i stopped feeling skinny. 14 stone isn't really enough to look "big" at my height.
i guess 14 stone with 8% BF and six pack would be impressive, im about 15% BF i think? or at least my waistline is 35.0 inches at 6'2

Really? You sound heavier biult than an ectomorph, i seem to be acto-meso. I mean if you dont look big at 13.5, u must have heavy bones. Im trying to get to 8% bf for tennnis and want to be at 13.5 at 6"2 as well. 35 waist line is prob a bit bigger than usual, maybe try and get that down to 32 to feel best about yourself.

The available data does not support your claim at all.
Think about it logically for a second, and do just a bit of digging. How much force is placed on your body when lifting weights. Even taking the biggest relative lifts, the squat and deadlift. I young person would be lucky to lift 1 to 2 times their own bodyweight. And that would be for a few brief moments. Now, when you run, each limb can be subjected to up to 4 times your own body weight. So if a kid weighs 50kg, each time his foot strikes the ground, that's 200kg of force. Every. Single. Step.
And I don't say, "the available data doesn't support it" because the data hasn't been looked at. Because it has been looked at and investigated. There simply is no relationship to height and weight lifting as a youth.
