Post some picts in the member picture section or in the competitive section and I'm sure plenty will give you advice. Can't tell what you're working with without pictures.

While I'll concede there is a "number" that should give you a good idea, what you look like is vastly more important, and I think getting overly caught up in the numbers game can ultimately be detrimental.

Also, if you're talking about a local comp, or even state level, if you're a "true" 8% @260, that is certainly sufficient, even at 6'5"....NO question.

Also, you can probably count on this thread (justifiably) being moved to the competition forum.

Claims like that are worthless without pics...

I believe Ferrigno competes around 300, and he's about that tall. Not bad for an old man, lol.
