  haha its over 26 on the BMI..which is hmm overweight...recently they shifted the overweight levels of 25 to 23 to suit Asians better right? since asians have more fatty tissues..
  
  to me quite big le 86-87kg for a 1.8m guy..
  
  but also depends if e person is of this weight due to lean mass or fats marz..
  1kg of fat n lean mass is v different worz..

  Believe it or not,I gained 5-6kg in a month after I started serious strength training and my waistline didn't increase at all.But my chinups(always a weak spot for me since NS) have suffered...

  i tot chinups have always been tricky for many guys? arm strength cant compensate for increase in body weight..
