I am 5'11 and 145 lbs. Ironically I just saw my doc yesterday, he said I could gain 5-10 lbs and it wouldn't hurt but that my weight is good to go. 185 at 1 inch taller than me, isn't anywhere near "rail".
Remember when the movie fight club came out and Brad Pitt was all the rage with the womens, from that movie for a while? He is 6 foot tall and was 155 lbs with a BMI of 5% for the movie.
I understand that muscle weighs and muscle is good, but I think lots men in the US use "soy boy" as an excuse to justify the fact that they are in fact, fat. The view has become so skewed that having a gut that isn't flat and sides that stick out instead of flat or V shaped, is incorrectly viewed as "healthy" for a man.

This.
And I say that as someone who lost 130lbs in 3 years.
I’m currently 6’1”, floating between 213lbs and 217lbs.
I lift weights, run, have a farm, throw hay, etc.
I’m still fat as fuck. I want to lose at least another 20lbs. I think at 195lbs ish I would be alright. Realistically, BMI for me is probably fairly close, 189 I would be “normal” on the heavy side.
Unless you’re a power builder/power lifter, or an athlete, if you’re significantly over BMI - you’re fat.
Being 5-10lbs over BMI because you work out? I can see that. But 30lbs and saying it’s muscle? Ehhhhhhh doubtful. Unless you’re 6 pack ripped and huge. Which very few are.
