Answer

In terms of general fitness or moving objects, 80 kg (176 lbs) is considered a moderate to heavy weight. For lifting:

  • Untrained individuals: 80 kg would be heavy
  • Recreational lifters: 80 kg is a manageable weight for compound lifts
  • Competitive powerlifters/weightlifters: 80 kg is relatively light

In combat sports, 80 kg falls into the light heavyweight or cruiserweight categories, depending on the sport. For body weight, 80 kg is average to above-average for men and above-average for women in most countries.
