I am done bulking... guess my BF %!

**Andre Avigdor** · 09-04-2003, 12:16 PM

After 3 months of slow and steady bulking I have decided it's time to cut up again... I am going away in 4 weeks and am using my trip as a goal to get lean... I will be bringing down my calories by 500 per week from 4000 now starting next week until I go away... Right now I am just a hair short of 200lbs (depending on the scale) so it's safe to say I put on about 20lbs in 3 months. I was taking an andro supplement up until 1 month ago and aside from that I am still clean... I am getting a BF % test done at my gym tommorow morning, I was 9% back in June when I hit my lowest weight of 177lbs... what % do you think I at now? In case anyone is wondering, I am 5'10" and 31 years old... Thanks!

Thanks... but do you really think I am as lean now as I was back in June? That would mean I put on 20lbs of lean mass in 3 months... that would be a miracle!

I think it's still under 10% - just by looking at your abs and chest.

It looks more like extra water, but not fat.

I know my abs wouldn't show up util the BF is under 10%

I would be surprised if your tomorrow test would show more than 10%

As always - you're a great inspiration.

I had my bf tested a fews weeks ago... I don't weigh as much as you and I'm only 5"7" but we have similar builds for the upper body. I do have bigger legs though. And my bf at the time was very low 10's and now I think I may be in the higher 9's now. So yes I feel my guess is close.

Looks about 9.5-10%...most tests can range +-3% though so it's difficult to really tell, unless you do the water test, which is the most accurate. I can see that you have added alot of lean mass though. Back and chest look much thicker! Very nice gains for 3 months...I forget...what was your cycle?

He was natty i believe.

**Andre Avigdor** · 09-04-2003, 12:58 PM

I tried an andro supplement for 2 months up until 1 month ago... it did not do anything for me... I actually feel stronger now, since I stopped taking it! Aside from that I am 100% natural, for now

**Rsox1** · 09-04-2003, 03:42 PM

looking good bud keep it up i agree prolly a hair over 9 percent

**ittybittymass** · 09-04-2003, 04:02 PM

well he says hes natural and i kinda believe it because he is still weaker than what he was when he was fat, if i remember right

**Andre Avigdor** · 09-04-2003, 04:37 PM

My stregth is back up to where it was when I was 255lbs... this was me back at last Xmas... and I was not fat, I just had big bones... that's what mommy used to tell me

**trimunex** · 09-04-2003, 05:04 PM

Bro ... I'm not sure what your bf% is now. What I do know is that you look like a totally different person from those 255lb pics. Great dedication and progress. btw, I like your batman/robin caption boxes .. remember those?? bam, pow, kaboom. Ah nevermind .. there I go rambling again.

This is probably my most dramatic photo...

**Andre Avigdor** · 09-04-2003, 05:15 PM

Mind you... this ain't bad either!

**ittybittymass** · 09-04-2003, 07:14 PM

i think your nose leaned out too lol

**Bound for Muscle** · 09-05-2003, 02:10 AM

how come in all your fatty pictures your eyes are all relaxed and in all your skinny pictures they're bulging out of your head? you sure you didn't have a little meth to help burn a few extra calories?

**Andre Avigdor** · 09-05-2003, 10:05 AM

Well folks... the results are in... It’s official I am a bulked up 11% BF… I guess that’s a pretty poor attempt at bulking by most people’s standards… I am however very pleased that I gained almost 12lbs of lean mass in about 12 weeks… Gaining 1lb of lean mass a week is not to shabby in my book… my next objective is to get down to around 8%BF for my trip next month!

**Breetai** · 09-05-2003, 06:08 PM

just below 10%.. just like everyone else said

**majorpecs** · 09-05-2003, 10:39 PM

Awesome job dude!!

I laughed then I started think... man I use to know strippers that smoked speed and snorted it to lose fat and muscle and some of their friggin marbles.
Na really bro you've made some dramatic changes, but you do look a little geeked out like you hit a rail. I think your around 10% but remember when your're dehydrated your fat cells are dreduced in size... and your last bit of loseable adipose will have this thick rubber skin feel around the middle... at least I feel like that.... Good job bro....
Send those picks to a dieting supp company and tell them you'll endorse their products cause you really took'em... yeah tell'em that...
