Should I lose weight?

[Daniel Town]

Hey guys, I'm 175cm (5'9 ?) weighing in at 93kg (205lbs)
My numbers are as follows:
SQ 165k 2x3
BP 121k 3x3
Press 81k 3x5
DL 190k 1x3

I did a dexa scan recently and am 21% body fat with 70kg of muscle. I went from a skinny dude to a pretty decently size man, I feel as confident as ever. Sadly, my wife thinks im too big and wants me to cut.. I need some advice..... at first I was wanting to hit 100k and cut/maintain, looks like it's not going to happen. What's the ideal bodyweight for my height? I want to be able to keep pushing up my numbers.

This is a good start if your goal is to lift competitively. If you want to settle your wife down, I wouldn't lose more than 5-7 kg, while continuing to move the needle on the lifts. What is your waist circumference?

[Daniel Town]

I am 37.5inches from the bellybutton around. Will my numbers take a hit when loosing weight?

[Robert Santana]

Most likely, especially on squat, bench press, and press. Deadlift may go up. Depends on how you approach the weight loss and how low you go.

This reminds me of a call in on a similar topic where Rip told the guy to get a new wife!

That is always an option.

Can you even imagine the havoc that would ensue if OP told his wife that he didn't like her size and he wanted her to do something about it?

You would see the Mortal Combat words "FINISH HIM" across the room.
