boi boi boi you are at 30% bf or may be higher

[Back In Black]

Lets do one with your shirt off so we can ascertain that you are actually 30% not 13%.

[MrMayhem]

No way! Really?

I know Im a lil soft, but no way im 30%! Shit, in that case, be easy on me guys!
And I actually have a pic from when I 1st joined here too and u can see the gain. Im wearing a tanktop in it.

NO WAY! U know how much I had to gut up just to post that?! I told u guys, self esteem issues.
And I can still see my 4 pack clear as day. So thatd make me at least 20% right?

[Back In Black]

Look at this, you really Think you are 13-16%?

No mate, that would, without photographic evidence, mean you are full of bull.

No doubt your a big guy, and may very well have a lot if lbm and b strong as an ox...but I'm having a hard time believing u r anything under 25%, and that's giving u the benefit of the doubt.

[MrMayhem]

I admit I was off. So I cant guess worth a fvck lol, but Im nowhere near 30% DEF NOT higher.

Judging by those pix, which I saved and will be using in the future to guess a little better Im between 20% and 25% and considering the gains and my strength, I dont think thats too bad

Right, like I said, I admit I was wrong on my percentages, but from those pix if I HAD to pick an exact number, I'd say 23%bf

[MrMayhem]

Guess Ill be hitting the gym EVEN MORE.

So What can I do about the diet aspect? (as its the point of the thread afterall ) Should I replace 2 of the shakes with steak? This is what I had planned.

What's ur goals? I wouldn't really recommend bulking.
And there's absolutely no sense in being in the gym for more then an hour and a half. That's with lifting and cardio...
Anything longer then that tends to b counter productive

Just so you know, this is 5'9 approx 300lbs at 12-15%





You were pretty much comparing yourself to the then Mr Olympia.

I'm not gonna believe sub 30% unless you prove it with a shirtless pic, sorry.

Oh damn lol I see. I was way off. Well, all I can say is sorry, I just guessed wrong. Thought I was a better guesstimator than that

No I def dont plan on bulking. So since my BF% is apparently though the roof, I guess Im looking to lean down. My body responds fairly quick to everything, so Im easy to work with. I def wanna retain as much LBM as possible. And Im usually in the gym for an hour to an hour and a half without cardio.

[largerthannormal]

30% easy. U can tell just by your forarms ..not a vein or muscle seperation. Same with the bi's which are usually the last place males hold bf% it only gets worse shirt off.

Dude you are huge bro and like tron said prolly strong as hell. If you got your diet in check n did a full cutter you'd look jacked!!

Figure your maintanace cals ( get a bod pod so were not guessing) the adjust your cals and do a simple macro split n you'll cut up fast.

Dude don't be so hard on yourself. No reason to have self esteem issues with the amount of muscle you have. Just cut it up bro

[MrMayhem]

LOL well I cant do it at work :P and I dont get off work for another 3hrs. So I'll try to build the courage between now and then

[Back In Black]

You really need to read up on calories and macro's and understand them. Ditch your shakes and come up with a 2500cal diet. Personally I would suggest 50% protein, 30% carbs and 20% fat to start with.

Ditch your shakes and do cardio after every lifting session.

Read the cutting 101 stickie too and then post a diet for critique including your calories and macro's.

[largerthannormal]

Just a round figure for your lbm. Your mainyance cals are around 3000, eat clean at 2500 n hit up cardio. Log your foods.. N do the math.

Good man, looking forward to it.

Right, now we've got that sorted I'm off to bed

[MrMayhem]

You guys keep being this nice, I wont have a problem with posting a shirtless pic. I just seen where other guys who messed up their BF% got torn apart on here and truth be told, I was TOTALLY guessing mine (Im not good at guessing lolol). Im just a good ol' southern boy :P (no, this does not mean I talk with a draw and listen to country music and have an IQ of 30) lol

So work with me Im trying

[largerthannormal]

Lol true

Yeah, I always come first lol

Question: Why do you have 2 cell phones?

[MrMayhem]

Question: Why do you have 2 cell phones?

One is a business cell and of course the one used to take the pic is a personal cell.

[MrMayhem]

Also, where can I go to find the nutrients in most items? Its list on some, but I get a lot of my food from a local organic store and the nutrient contents are usually not listed on most items there, except meats.
