I like building muscle and gaining size, but I always get held up when I start getting to the weight where I will have to be taped (even though I know I’d pass.) I feel as though their is a negativity to just the act of being taped in general... Anyone get taped regularly? Does it have any effects on career whatsoever? I feel I may be limiting my potential gor no reason.

I think at this point passing tape isn’t bad, ever. There are people in the Army that everyone knows is “overweight” because of muscle. As an MOS instructor, I see almost 100 different students every four months, and if they pass tape, it doesn’t even cross my mind for the rest of the course.

As long as your DA 5500 says "Individual is in compliance with Army standards" there will be no problem.
On a side note Sir, your Platoon Sergeant could have answered this quickly, or your Senior NCO wherever you are in the pipeline. Please use your enlisted advisor, we are here for you.

You are missing the point, he gets the same standard answer that you gave, he is asking how weighted tape is in real life and not in the regulation

Passing tape is never bad. I have lots of friends who are taped every time. The screening tables are meant for skinny people.
