Hey guys I am 10 days out from my contest prep which will be 16 weeks. I had my bf% done today and it is 15%. is this a normal % to start at??

usually I recommend losing about a half percent per week to make sure you allow plenty of time to properly diet to maintain muscle. Though you will be cutting it close you may be able to get into shape in 16 weeks. Also keep in mind that most body fat calculators are off and you probably are at 17-18% realistically. You may not come in shredded, but you have a lot of time to drop body fat. Hit it hard.

my bf% is 15 forsure. I had a 9 point test done at a university. then he did some other tests and after all of that had the results spit out of a computer.
