I'm not shredded like you other ppl - can you guess what I weigh?

[nyjbarnes]

I am 6'3''

I've been working out for 3 months now. I used to be lighter, but I injured my knee and put on some weight. I'm trying to get to my goal weight, which I will tell you after all have guessed.

Btw,

I can bench:

225 x5
incline dumbell 75 x 8 reps, 4 sets

I can't squat much because of my knee, but I can leg press 6 plates.

This isn't a joke, I'm just looking for honest impressions

Hopefully will be shredded someday.

[goldstrikn]

You look like about 25% body fat plus, to guess you're probably 260lbs. The knees are always at risk, good luck with your lifting.

[DieselFella]

pushing 300lbs...

[nyjbarnes]

I'm 22% body fat.

270lbs.

It's disgusting. I used to be 235. Much weaker, but thinner too.

Never been able to lose the love handles. Right now I'm on LIPO 6 to see if I can jump start my metabolism.

[NaturaLPumP]

Hey man more power to you, nobody starts out looking awsome. Just make sure you work harder when your on the lipo 6 so your not wasting your cash.

morning walks and runs without food in the stomach does the body good!

[PopeGregorius]

God have broad shoulders & the right frame for BB. Lose 20-25kg & you'll be looking good.

I like treadmill for cutting - I do 2x25min (morning/night) at home.

[nyjbarnes]

My frame is how I've been hiding my weight. Most ppl can't guess my weight accurately.

First pick is when I weighed 270, 5 years ago.

Second pick is when I weighed 235 2 or so years ago...links above is today

GAWD it's sick!

But I've been on a low cal diet so to speak....LIPO has been controlling my appetite. So I've been avging about 2000 calories a day. A few more carbs than protein, but I'm still taking in over a 100 grams of protein a day.

[Nonphixion90]

hopefully you keep with this and lose all the weight.
Im in the sam boat but I weigh more and am 2" shorter..and im only 14

Im 315 and 6'1"

but im scared to take pics because of my growing and all the stretchmarks growing upwards and outwards created...

But good job and keep going like I am.

Word, even the greats didn't start out as huge or as ripped as they are. You just gotta keep on pushing, and with the weight you say you put up it looks as if your future may be promising.

get in the nutrition and losing fat threads.

by the looks of it your diet is totally out of point. 260lbs,100g of protein and 2000 calories is screaming undereating - even for a cut.

A simple thing to say here is that low calorie diets dont work. A little below your maintainance level is definitely above 2000 calories, especially at your weight.

I haven't done it for you, but it should be in the high 3000s.

[pryme]

your more then 22% bf.

watch your diet and eat smaller,more frequent meals.
watch your carbs and fats before bed.
alot of people dont eat breakfast and a horrible lunch and the gorge at dinner.
do not do this!
with a combo of the right diet,training and cardio program you will relize your goals!!!

[nyjbarnes]

But I did a fat test. It showed me at 210 lbs of lean muscle mass. At 270

thats actually 23%

I'm thick, but I'm not trying to make anything up. It's kinda pointless, if you know what I mean.watch your diet and eat smaller,more frequent meals.

I've never lost any weight unless I radically cut my calories. I work out 3 times a week, and jump rope for 20 minutes before I work out. Above I said I was between 1700-2000 calories a day. It's more like 2200-2500

Protein is about 160's....I'm noticing 40 fats 35 carbs and 25 protein.

I need to upset that balance a little. This week is a little skewed because I had a bunch of jerky and I don't normally take in that much fat...but calories are around 2k...

What kind of fat test? Most of them just get you in the ballpark. Unless you had a water displacement test it's probably off by several percentage points.

My brother went from 260 to 210 just by watching what he ate and running for at least 30min 4-5 days per week. But he carries a lot more muscle than you...

I personally can't give too many tips on weight loss b/c I'm one of those skinny dudes.

thats impossible because i am 20lbs heavier than you and slightly higher bf% than 22% and incredibly more muscular

but the % doesnt really matter in that the number doesnt help with anything

now its great you want to improve yourself, id highly recommend you follow this method

Keep it up my man

Hey man more power to you, nobody starts out looking awsome.

Goodluck with ur training and fatloss.

And by the way nice house

[sexy moma]

you need to eat less more veggies less meat!!!!
meat alone does not work
you need to be hard on yourself!!!!!!!!!! you still need alot of work
are you gay? if so come to the night club and work off some calories love to meet up with you
sexy moma really momman

[Steak_n_Taters]

My only criticism is that you say "hopefully will be shredded someday"

Thats no way to go about it. You gotta say, i wanna be this weight by the end of the week, this weight by the end of the month, this weight in 3 months, etc. You have to set specific goals as it doesnt allow you to fudge things at all. re-evaluate where you're at ever week or so and adjust things accordingly.

Anyway, good luck!

[susko]

here you go, susko's fat loss blast (if your goal is purely weight loss, which it should, no offense):

drink atleast a gallon of water every day. maybe even as much as 2.

eat only: fat free milk, tuna, grilled chicken, lots of fruits and vegetables, whole wheat. nothing processed, boxed (except golean cereal), frozen, fried, no soda, juice, etc etc etc

take your lipo 6
take animal pak vitamins

Don't forget: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/forumdisplay.php?f=16

RUN every day, as much as you can. if you are going to lift, lift HIGH REP, low weight. again, low weight, tons of reps.

but the time you are spending lifting, you could be running. trust me.... water and running. it does wonders for weight loss. good luck man

[younggunz20]

You should read EVERY article on here regarding proper nutrition and exercise. There are some great articles that will help you a ton.

Your diet needs some serious work. You aren't getting enough calories, which will cause your metabolism to slow down because your body thinks it's starving. You should also be taking in more protein, and less carbs. Read Layne's Cut Diet http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/layne36.htm, it will help you a ton.

You should also be working out more often. At your weight and bodyfat percentage, you aren't going to see the results you want by working out just three days a week. Again, read the articles on this board, as there are some great ones out there.

Lift heavy compounds, do cardio after you exercise or first thing in the morning, make sure your diet is 100% PERFECT, and work hard! Good luck.

God I love Cheesecake. I had to make one for someone recently and didn't even feel the slightest tempted though.

OP: I'm not sure about those percentages... IMO I looked about the same when I put my pics up about a month ago and everyone here was guessing like 27%. I was serioulsy in denial about how bad I'd let the last bulk get out of control.

LOL. I didn't even notice that this was an old thread. What a dumb ass for bumping it...that will earn you some negs because I wasted my time writing a good response.
