Also depends on bodytype.



A 5'9" ectomorph will only get upto about 170-175 or so for his max bulking weight, then gradually cut that down to about 155-160 with 6-8% bodyfat.


A 5'9" mesomorph and endomorph may get as high as 200-210 for his max bulking weight, then gradually cut that down to about 180-185 with 6-8% bodyfat.



At both weights and bodytypes, a 5'9" can look fantastic - a cut ectomorph will look lean and sleek like Brad Pitt in Fight Club or a fashion model, and a cut meso/endomorph will look robust and muscular like Sly Stallone in Rocky III.
