It's a decent guide. Many are surprised to find out that their bf is higher than imagined. Not everyone.....but some people.

[Matt007]

I would say close to 30% bf bro, whats your height, weight, and waist measurement can get a better idea off that

[ironbeck]

27.5%

[VegasBody]

About 30%
Good thing the first 10% should come off easy with diet in check ,cardio and weight training

Yea I wasn't TOO surprised. I figured high 20s. Lookin more like 30. I don't think I have any business using test just yet.

[Unrealone]

I have to agree,,,25-30% from my view.

You don't need a cycle op, you just need to get dedicated to the gym and diet. Nowhere near ready for a cycle.

Cheers guys I knew this would be a depressing thread lol but all good.
Working on my diet still macros are in order but maybe still too high in calories. I appreciate the brutal honesty guys cheers

[Unrealone]

dont worry so much about your bf... work on the diet and up the cardio and you will notice a change every week... no need to get caught up in this % or that % ... working on a calorie deficit that is comfortable and still gives you enough energy to push through the cardio, is important... keep at it man and keep us updated on the progress

[Chicagotarsier]

Had guys report to boot at your dimensions and they were down to sub 15% in a month with a lot of cardio daily. You can knock it out of the park. I would kill to be where you are right now lol

[dusto]

Cool man will do I really don't want to move off of 200lbs too much though so if I keep the calories the same but fine tune my macros and keep smashing my training I could eventually churn this fat into awesome muscle?

[austinite]

100%.

minus 72

[dusto]

100%. minus 72

austinite bro how you been? What kind of macro split do you think I should use?
And do you use the iifym site?

U dont turn fatinto muscle, I wish that was the way it worked lol, totally serpate muscle and fat
In order to u achieve the goals desired u really dont need to push cardio that hard, def optional, I hardly to never do cardio right now and I also am on a cut as we speak, and loosing rougly 2-3lbs a week 1% bf per week rougly, whatI am doing is "hit" by dorian yates", works great to preserve muscle and strength while chopping bf, cardio is optional, as I say that as long as u are in a caloric deficit with higher bf u should loose quite abit each week, make 1 day a week to measure your progress and figure out your tdee for the up coming week and make adjustments to your diet as needed, goodluck man, as it all comes down to your diet when chopping the bf
If your diet is in order, the first week will be a lot of water weight dropping off, then each week u will begin to see changes in your physique, I woukd personally lower up bf before considering cycling as u will fair out a lot better and look a lot better with lower bf compared to cycling with higher bf

^^^ Hit isnt for beginners and intermediates(unless with injury), which you are one of... its why, besides your arms, members say you barely look like you hit the gym at all to pump iron... and with the grossly ignorant amounts of gear you have run, you should see waaaay more results besides weight loss, but you dont...and you wont... sets and reps are for beg/inter bb's .. both yates and mentzer say this is important for building the base...once the base is built, then Hit is better utilized... learn how to train and for fukksakes, and good grief, dont ever tell anyone that cardio is "optional" or that they simply dont need it... you have to keep a healthy heart in mind

[jdpeters]

^^^ Agreed. HIT requires you to be in good shape to do it right. You Def don't want any injuries, that could set you back even longer. Your physique looks like you Def could use some cardio! Spend some quality time in the gym, technique and form are paramount to get the mind muscle connection. All that with a good diet and you Def will see results. Stick to your goals and good luck.

250 Grams of carbs seems like a lot for what your goals are. What are you stats? Height weight ect. You may want to try carb cycling. Also cardio 6 days a week is fine, but it's a bit much for weights... You need to give your muscles a rest so they can grow. The more muscle you have the more calories they burn. You don't want to over train as that is not a good state for you. Just keep consistent and you will see results.
