Hi banana nut. This lists things that could happen, not things that will happen, and at less than 8% bodyfat, not 10%, so way to be wrong twice in one post.

You're confusing 2 entirely different things: Weightlifting & Diet
Weightlifting controls your strength. Diet controls your weight.

Smoking could give you lung cancer, but it might not happen.
8% vs 10%, wow at least he was in the ball park.
Stope the madness!!!!
Why would you make a post asking a question about if you weight too much or not and then tell anybody who says you are that they're wrong and you're a good weight
I can relate. I was a middle distance guy (800&1500) I was 6' and 174 lbs with 2.7% body fat (bod pod tested, not calipers). My coach told me the EXACT same thing. So If you want to be the best runner you can then stop lifting!!! if your built like you say you are then you don't need to be in the weight room.

Absolutely BS.

Thats what the machine told me 14 years ago anyways. I had a body composition test done 3 years ago. same thing, in a bod pod (the one that displaces air not water FWIW) I was still 6" and 185lbs, that time I was 7.5% body fat. May have had a tiny bit more muscle than college but most of that weight was just putting on a healthy layer of fat.

It says "The attempt to reduce body fat by extreme measures not only leads to decreased exercise performance,
but it also can lead to severe health complications."
Nothing about being
Nothing about being < 10% body fat is itself unhealthy. But you can't expect an imbecile like Sand Dunes/Banana Nut/Gravy to be able to read and comprehend anything correctly.

Same machine? If so it needs to be calibrated. Or you just did the test wrong. There are things that can mess up the test.

I'm assuming they were different machines. The test were done 11 years apart and thousands of miles from each other, but you never know I guess. and ya maybe I did the test wrong, I didn't think it was very hard to sit in there in your underwear with a shower cap on and not move but maybe I screwed that up. Or ya maybe the professionals trained to operate each of their respective machines didn't have them calibrated correctly.
Sorry, I just need you to point out where I told someone they're wrong and that I'm a good weight. Thanks!
I wish I had the body of a guy hoe instead of a long-distance runner...
My lame two cents wrote:
Probably not what u want to hear, but it yea, you’re too big. If you’re running the 400 or 800 you’re okay, but not for distance. What’s with the weightlifting insistence anyway? You’re either a distance runner or a lifter
FWIW, I was 5’8” and 120 lbs when I ran. That’s 1.76 lbs per inch. You’re at 2.32
Weight does not scale linearly with height. I'm unsure of the exact relationship, but taller people also are wider in general.
Abel Mutai one of the thicker Kenyans.
I've really thankful for all the feedback I've gotten on this thread. Just so you all know, even though I may not 100 % agree with my coach, I am following his weight plan. And I've decided to lose around 5 pounds and no more, at least for cross country season. I'll keep you guys updated on my seasons, and if and when I post again I'll post under the same username. Once again, thanks so much guys! This was my first post and I really enjoyed engaging with you guys! Hope y'all run some fast times and keep on keeping on, Godspeed!

I don't work out on workout days, and I'm redshirting this season but if I wasn't I wouldn't work out on race days either. So that usually leaves 4 days of working out. Deadlift- 3 sets of 5, with 275 lb on the first 2 sets, 300 on the third. When I do squat, I'll do 3 reps of 3 @250 lbs. My weighted lunges I'll do close to the equivalent of anywhere from 50-100 yards with 50 lbs. Kettlebells I'll do three sets, a set consisting of 15 squats twisting over my left, 15 over the right, and 15 down the middle with a 20 lb kettlebell. Shoulder press I'll do 55-60 lb dumbells in each hand, 3 sets of 10. Benching is a warm-up with two 25 lb plates on the side and then 3 reps of 10 going up from 135, 140, to 145 lbs (pretty light on the bench). I'll do bicep curls with 40 lb or 45 lb dumbells, 3 sets of 15. When I do my pushups and pull-ups, I'll do both as pyramids and alternate (So I'd do 10 pull-ups then one pushup, 9 pullups 2 pushups, 8, 3, etc..). I'll only go down the pyramid for pull-ups totaling 55, but I go up and down with the pushups for 110 (Pull up max is 18, pushup max was 56 last time I checked). With my core, I include dead bugs, bear crawls, jackknifes, crunches, and more for about a minute. And planks (elbows and straight arm) I'll do front and both sides for 90 seconds. I use a 1.5" battle rope and I'll usually do 3xMinute on those. So legs will be one day, kettlebells and bench another, shoulder press. curls and battle rope the next, and finally, I'll finish with calisthenics. Core is a part of every workout. And no I don't do these all in a row, legs will usually be on Monday because that's my day off running, and then I'll do weight on Tuesday, running workout Wednesday, calisthenics Thursday, weights Friday, running workout Saturday, and finally weights again on Sunday. I hope this helps if you take the time to read it, I myself got confused trying to write it all out
Way too much volume. Run, then lift afterwards. A lifting session might be as simple as this:
Squat 3x250lbs
Bench 3x145lbs
Don't worry about doing a ton of low intensity exercises. You want heavy weight, low volume. You are really just "topping-up" your running stimulus. Expend all your effort during your runs. Top up the stimulus after. There's minimal value in doing pyramids of 55 pullups and 110 pushups.
Posters telling you to challenge your coach's authority are 100% wrong! Most NFL players lift weights. Daunte Culpepper, former 6'4" 265 lbs. NFL QB with 4.5 NFL Combine 40 yard dash speed was told to not lift weights by NFL coaches. Culpepper gained weight too easily. Posters have gotten stuck in the weeds challenging your body fat percentage. You're a bit heavier than Jim Ryun. Run, do plyometrics and enjoy the extra time you have since you do not have to lift weights like the others.
