dutchy Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 As I was standing tall( 1,83cm) on the scale this morning and the digits tipped to the 90kg( after all the eastermeals I devoured )I wondered what the max weight for a trooper is... I know there is a difference in armors, I have got an AP and that doesn't work too well when you weigh over 200 pounds..I guess I practice Capoeira(Brazilian martial art, 3 times a week, 2hrs), eat healthy, and cycle a lot but still my weight stay's in the 85-90 zone.. So how much do you weigh trooper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-1536 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I'm 6' tall, and about 170lbs. give or take five pounds. Based on all the behind the scenes pictures, I would guess the native Tunisians they hired to be Sandtroopers were about 5'11 and 160lbs.

Daetrin Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I think the largest sandtrooper on these boards was CMANavy. He got his - IIRC - 6'4" 245lb self into a set of TE armor no less, and looked great in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you got a belly like you had one beer keg too much, then it would be more difficult to get into your armor..( I don't mean to offend anyone with this remark by the way)..

whitecommando Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 6'2" 250. And anyone who says "you would make a great Vader or Chewbacca" I will beat your ***. AND, I will do it in this armor... A Marine friend decided he would try to spar with me on Halloween while I wore armor. I let him have the first punch to my abdomen. He almost broke his hand. It ended in that one punch. Nice talk boys. I was nice to the 5'6" TK girl in my Garrison, and she weighed about 130-135... I was very nice! HAHAHA! John I think the largest sandtrooper on these boards was CMANavy.

Smitty Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I'm 5'10" and weigh in at a whopping 135 pounds. I would look like the tin man in FX armor. I barely fill up my GF armor. I received much ribbing from the guys at my armor party last weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD2802 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Only 5'9" at 160 lbs. It was either going TD or ballet. Guess which one I chose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avatar_man Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 well - I can speak for all of the LMG's (LowLand Moutain Gorillas - Thanks Tony) - I don't think weight is the issue, but rather build. If you carry all of your weight in your gut, there may be issues, get your arms much bigger than 16" or so, and you gotta shim.... just depends. I know guys who weigh much more than me and fit fine.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretApprentice Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I'm 5'9" and 175lbs. Last September (2007) I was 216 lbs. Lost about 40 lbs and it was really easy. I did a combination of no carbs and calorie reduction. Basically, if my wife made chicken, green beans and potatoes, I didn't eat the potatoes, AND I didn't add extra food to make up for the potatoes. If you eliminate your carb/refined sugar intake for 5-6 months, you'll get down to your target weight. There's still alot of great stuff to eat. Once you get to your target weight (mine was 175lbs) start working carbs back into your diet. Step on the scale everyday. If you get down to 173ish, eat what every you want that weekend. Eat whatever you want on holidays. When the scale says 178lbs+, eat more salads for lunch. Most people probably eat fine to maintain their weight, but they've increased their weight by 40lbs over 15 years or so. It only takes a few months to reverse all that weight gain, and just a bit of attention to the scale to maintain it. I found the whole process really easy. I was surprised how easy it was to loose 40lbs and keep it off. If you need any advice, post here or PM me and I'll answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
