any guess on bf?

[brjrj0000]

hey im 21 6'0 and 183 pounds want to get down to 170 cuz im training mma. Been cutting weight for months now started 236. Dont want to lose any muscle. Just wondering what my percent is around so i can see how much more i can reasonabley lose without losing muscle. Any guesses on my body fat?

[jpkman]

pretty lean already bro....9% poppin out in my head but I'll bump it for the pros

[xpijeonx]

If you want to fight MMA I would stay right where you are and cut the weight before the weigh-ins.

You look big for someone your height and weight.

As for my GUESS, I would say 8%? I say guess cause Im no expert and only going off of what I have seen other members say in response to the same question.

Good luck training and with your goals.

the dude doesnt want to be a competitive bodybuilder, he is trying to lose weight for MMA bro.

i would say 7-8% bodyfat, you looking great. i cannot see how you could lose anymore weight THAT ISNT MUSCLE without negatively affecting your health/stamina for the fight, as being any lower bodyfat than you are now is verging on what a competive bodybuilder would be at come show-time, and its this kind of conditioning that often causes them to feel like crap

bout 7 maybe lower

[sensaispike]

I would say around 6% unless you have alot in your legs....
Have fun with that MMA, i have been teaching Karate for like 8 years, its great...........

[mark_newcastle]

I'd say good points in both posts.
I think you've got a solid core and I give you props on being down that much and keeping the muscle. Way to go Brother!

Jumping on the bandwagon and reaching to say 7-9%. Looking good though, and do decide to remain at that weight until you have an official fight coming up. All the pros in boxing, MMA,etc train at the same style as a bodybuilder, which is quite a bit higher than competition weight. you will be suprised that when you train your ass off with the heavier weight than drop prior to a fight that you will be much quicker,better agility,endurance, etc. Good luck to ya.

About 7%

Don't go any lower! There is no reason!!!

[Sasso09]

8-9% iunno about 7.....

[STYLE74]

Looking good man!

[mattjohnson2011]

how about 8%

[JohnBall]

Bro, you've made me feel like a pig. You're going to have one hell of a time cutting up further without losing muscle mass. Go with the clen I guess, but you sure as hell don't need it. Let us know your real bf if you ever get it measure. I'm in agreement with the board at betwen 7-9%.

[T3/T4 GSR]

Wow dude you look GREAT. My only question though with that upper body at that weight how are the legs? Just saying because your upper body looks quite big for that weight unless most of your mass is upper body.

[CSAR]

Gonna parrot everyone else... around 7%, but I'm not sure you'd want to go much lower. Good luck!
