You can easily hit 300 single digits, no question. Whether or not you have the heart and dedication to get to 320+ is not for me to say.
It's all true
You can easily hit 220 lean
Why do people keep saying I'm trolling?
You can easily hit 290 shredded. Maybe 300 (at 10% tho)
And it'll take you 1-2 years of heavy lifting and good diet

The first reason being that carbohydrates are much more muscle sparing than fats during times of stress when glucose becomes a primary source of fuel (i.e. anaerobic exercise, injury, infection, etc). The muscle sparing effects of carbohydrates occur via several different mechanisms. When the body is in a low energy state, it may try to produce energy by converting amino acids to glucose. Carbohydrates prevent this since they can be easily broken down (and converted if need be) to glucose molecules. Carbohydrates then spare dietary protein from oxidation and these proteins can be stored rather than oxidized.Carbohydrates are also very muscle sparing during exercise. When one lifts heavy weights, the primary pathway that is used to produce ATP (cellular energy currency) is the anaerobic or glycolytic pathway (as the name implies this pathway operates in the absence of oxygen). The only substrate for this pathway is glucose, which can be obtained from dietary carbohydrates or by breaking down glycogen (the cell’s stored form of glucose).
If one is on a ketogenic or extreme “low carb” diet however, the body will need to utilize another source to synthesize glucose from.
Since glycogen levels are low on a ketogenic diet, the body will actually convert amino acids to glucose and this glucose will be used in the anaerobic pathway to produce ATP. These amino acids will come from dietary protein, amino acids from the cellular amino acid pool, and from muscle tissue. The latter situation is where one would experience muscle loss. Dietary protein would be sacrificed for ATP production and the depleted amino acid pool would not bode well for protein synthesis rates, thus causing a net loss in muscle mass.***Irish Misc Crew***

Mine seems to be higher than the online calculators. I'm sitting around 240lbs at 6'1" and 12-14% bf.
Certainly don't have a bodybuilder physique since I do the olympic lifts mainly. Most of my weight is in my legs, core, and back.
I think doing heavy squats 5x a week along with doing the lifts 5x a week boosts testosterone levels naturally.
I just lift hard and eat a lot, doesn't matter where the calories come from. A decent amount come from pizza and beer. As long as you get your protein in, the rest of the calories don't matter.
Cutting advice: PSMF in 5 day cycles works wonders. You only burn fat, no muscle loss.Enjoy the pain of becoming, fall in love with that pain, and everything will work out.

^ITT people who don't have dedication and heart
OK
If you're saying you're 240lbs but "don't have the bodybuilder physique" and don't track macros then you're definitely fat. (no offence)
Everyone can easily reach 250lean...I'm hoping to be over 240 @ less than 15% BF before I'm 19
Your natty potential is a chubby 156lbs *******
Easy 276lbs shredded. Maybe more with the right supplementsSponsored by SpartanSupps

Hey dude. No-one can judge and say what your natural limit is. It is based purely on your genetic disposition. For all we know, you may have some genetic characteristics that allows you to become as big as a pro (though highly unlikely). We can use averages, but then again, not all human beings are born the same. Everyone is different. For someone to say that you can only go as far as so and so would be wrong. I think the best thing to do is to work hard and see where your body takes you.

There is an article about your genetic limit. Lyle mcdonald or Layne Norton wrote it, but it is translated to my language so i can't post the link.
Your genetic limit is:
When you are competition lean
Your height in cm -100 +-4 kg= kg of your genetic potential
Note: This is only your lean mass weight. It does not count those few pounds which are coming form creatine or carb up or both
When you are a bit bulkier then it can be higher
Look at OP
He is 6'1"= 183 cm
He is 225 lbs and 15 % bodyfat (looking at his avi it seems right, maybe just a little bit higher) so his fat free weight is 191.25 lbs which is 87 kg he did not reached his genetic potential and if he would cut he would be under it how could he say that the genetic potential is higher than this if he had not reached it yet
