What should my ideal weight be on Rippetoes >

[JBlack]

Hi Coach,
I am 6'0 and weigh ~205lbs. (32years old and ectomorph, if that matters.)
I really enjoy training hard and enjoy your program, etc.
According to most online calculators, my "ideal" body weight should be around 180lbs???
LOL, Im well over that now, what should my ideal body weight be for this program? Have you made a table for this, or what do you recommend?
Thank you !

Your ideal bodyweight as an ectomorph at 6' 0" will be 214.378 lbs. There. Happy? And if you lose or gain a pound, I will have you killed. It is important to be ideal.
