Weight in the corps

Alright,

Just wondering if anyone knows the weight to height categories for the RM. Im 5'10" and 72kg. However much I have tried to put weight on I've stayed at the same weight. I believe that your body adapts to the correct weight depending on the kind of physical activity you do. If thats correct I can't be too light can I? I might put a bit of weight on when I introduce weights into my program next week.

You need to be a minimum height of 151.5cm with a minimum weight of 60kg.
this is coming from a sheet at the afco i got so it shud be right.
so your well within the limits

To fail on the height limit you have to be a midget. As for the weight limit, yeah its 60Kg, I was weighed at 61Kg and was told that I just made it!

My son is 5' 11" and 70kg and built like a brick sh1t house. I can't see why you would worry.

Is there actually an upper limit at which point they deem you to be too heavy in relation to your height. I, like you Wilson, am also 82Kg but am only 5'6''.

Where can I work out kilograms in relation to stone?

lodgi

x 2.2 and divide by 14.

By the way you guys, are you all confused?? I am

e.g. 5' 11" and 65kg

Are you metric or imperial these days?

Bit like the building suppliers where you buy 2.5m of 4" x 2"

Is the weight with or without eight pints of beer before or after you go for a piss?
Don't worry, if your slightly over weight and fit, you'll soon lose it and if over, you'll soon put it on.
It' more important to get your brain in order.
Good luck. :laola:

I was watching a programme about the royal marines who had specialised as mountain leaders and during the course some of them lost about a stone.

Ash, the best way to find your height weight ratio and wether you comply with army standards is through your BMI (body mass indicator).
