It’s ironic we make such a big deal about a saws weight and a few ounces is a deal breaker and makes it too heavy, but none of us pay any attention to the bathroom scale. That’s the weight that affects us. Read a statistic the other day- Every pound a person drops- takes 7lbs of pressure off our bones and joints.

Some thing that we carry/use occasionally does not matter.

Speak for yourself, I'm NOT guilty of this, I get on the scale every morning. My 6'1" frame is currently 187.2 lbs.

I used to run, bike (still bike occasionally) and do biathalons (running/biking). Five to ten pounds would make a huge difference in your times and endurance. With me, my cholesterol levels also start to increase significantly when I get near 200 lbs, so I keep track of it. (Note: We are all different, it is important to know your own info and tendencies). I've never allowed myself to go over 200, when I see it getting close I get mad at myself and take appropriate action.

I was far more competitive in the events when I got my weight down near 180 lbs. Since I no longer compete, I don't get under 185 any more.

Jeez, I’m 5’9” and 200. Anything under 185 and I start to get weak. To each their own I guess.

Swung a 395 around yesterday with a standard weight 36” 404 Stihl bar. It’s the only saw that makes me think about weight that I own. There really is no substitute when you just gotta get it done.

I even brought the Stihl’s out to watch.
