Guess My Body Fat Percentage (230 lbs)

[Jumb0]

Here I am, at 230 lbs, about to start my cut.
At what weight will I likely be "shredded" ? How long will it take?

I'm not using any fat burner supplements. I'm only on creatine, whey, C4, fish oil, and a multi.

Would say around %17-19. Looking big though. You should cut for like 3-4 months imo. Gonna be ripped

id say ur between 11 and 13% but its a good idea to go buy a caliper at scheels. i did and it has been really useful in tracking my progress. so lets say your at 13% that means you have about 200lbs of lean body mass. if you lost 15lbs of fat you would be at about 7% and you would still have 200 lbs of lbm. it would be pretty tough to not loose any muscle in the process but this is just a goal to shoot for. good luck!

14 percent.

200 and youll be a beaaassst!

Agree with 13-14% or so.

For time to get shredded (~8% bf) - depends how low bf you want to get, and how much muscle you are willing to lose to get there. If you are ok with a slow cut (-250 to -500 cals a day) - roughly about 4-6 months to get shredded. Could definitely get there faster, you'll just risk dropping more muscle mass.

You're definitely not past 16%, I'd guess around 13-14%. Huge dude

Interesting...I'm trying to get to like 10%. I am currently eating like a 500 calorie deficit. i am also on creatine, so the progress seems slower on the scale :\ strength is up though!

13-14% Agreed. Good size mang.

[ksrcrider]

if you want to cut I would cut out the creatine.. Seeing it makes you hold more water..

I'm agreeing with 14%..... what's your macro split plan for the cut? Daily deficit planned? Good luck I wish I was that muscular.

Creatine improves muscular endurance though, and that is much needed on a cut. I don't care about water weight. i can still lose fat. thats all that matters

Thanks, brah. I'm only counting proteins. A gram per pound of body weight. I dont think the effort to count fats and carbs is worth it. I'm eating a 500-700 calorie deficit.
