    Does 260 lbs at 6'1 18% bodyfat sound like an achievable goal?

    Hello new here to the forums, ive been bodybuilding/powerlifting since i was 14 years old and i'm 23 now and have been thinking about taking things to the next level within 2-3 years and trying my first cycle. Im currently 6'1 215 lbs at 12% b/f, and am willing to do whatever it takes to achieve my goal of 260 18% b/f at 6'1.

    Do you think this is a realistic goal with good genetics and hard work and of course gear in a couple years. Do you think it can be done within 10 years? so id be 33.
    Thank you

    Why would you like to be 18% bf when you are 12%...

    But yes its achievable if you train and eat properly you should be able 260lbs/18% is like 235 lbs/10% at 6.1lbs should be relatively fast you are already 215 only 25 more pounds(2-3 cycle) Means a bit more than a years and if you really want 18% well you can increase bodyfat very easely by dieting with pizza and mcdonald and you'll be fine

    You have to eat like a freak, but is still so much about genetics!

    It's achievable, I went from 225 to 250 in one cycle, lost BF on the way there. It's genetics, diet and work ethic. The question is do you really want to carry that kind of weight on a 6'1 frame? I had to lower my calories and lose weight because my body felt like such crap with that much weight on it. I also lost athletic ability and my cardio was terrible. It took me 3 months of lighter work to heal up all the joint issues I got from carrying that much weight.

    well many pro bodybuilders walk around at 5'9-5'10 and are between 270-300 lbs at 4% bodyfat lmao.
    So whats wrong with 260 6'1 15%? 6'1 is actually pretty tall considering average is 5'9 ish.

    Look at 15% then look at 6-7%. What just looks better?

    Yea your goal should be in your reach if you work on it like a machine.

    I'd like to see 300lb at 4% body fat. Coleman is like 280 and he's a damn gorilla. Don't think there's many people larger then that.
