>tfw you start cutting and realize most of your "gains"

>>35616267
yup yup

seems a bit on the low side, but also about right.

i assume this is assuming practically no fat and maybe some dehydration.

so yeah. I don't disagree

>>35616469

This chart is for 5% bf but also for the genetic elite. I was brainwashed at one point and thought these numbers seemed low, just like 90% of the gomadders on this board

3. not natty

I'd be more interested to see an idea of what you could weigh natural at ~10% bf

Who the fuck is trying to be 5 percent bf. There's plenty of guys that are 5'5' and up that are 170-180+ and lean.

This lmao. Almost anyone will look better at like 8-11% than at 5%, if they are natty. At 5% you'll look so fucking depleted and tiny... no point desu. 8-11% = ideal pretty much...

>>35616267
Isn't Big Ramy like 5'9" and 300 pounds at 5% bodyfat?
Yes hes the elite of the elite but surely those numbers cant be elite then

>>35616267
>6'3"
>feel semi skinny from cut
>217lbs
>look down realize i'm still a fat shit


t-thanks fit.. y-you too

useful graphic btw.

>>35616267

Yeah, from seeing guys in my height range (6'3" - 6'4") compete in bodybuilding and guys in power sports (powerlifting, football, etc.), I'd say pretty much dead-on.

>>35616618
If a guy who is 5'5" is 137lbs with 0% bf, he would have 20% bodyfat with 170lbs

For Amerikeks this is probably 'lean' but for the rest of the world, it's just fat fa'm. Sorry to bust your bubble

>>35616267

This is retarded and arbitrary

Thanks for enlightening me, I always thought he roided until you cleared that right up

I'm 5'11, was 179 here.
I've been training for 2 years, pretty sure I'm not even close to my limit.

>>35617278
you are at 12% fat faggot,

doubt 5% is even attainable natty though

>>35617278
>5'10"
>be cutting in hopes of six pack
>be 180lbs

holy shit I still have at least 20lbs to go
I want to get off this ride

>>35617299
oh if this is for 5% BF then I retract my statement.
179 trueweight at 5'11 that lean is def a limit and I'm not even close.

>>35616267
>tfw height and weight both off the chart

As would I, and this is where it gets difficult.

First, a natty in contest condition is dehydrated and glycogen depleted at ~210 (207 - 214). So, the 6'3" - 6'4" guy, hydrated and replenished, is ~215 - 220.

Another huge factor for natty guys who get to contest condition is that they can't hold as much muscle mass at such low levels of body fat (testosterone drops, growth hormone drops, etc.). So, take the 215 - 220 lb. guy at 5% bf., carrying ~205 - 208 lb. of LBM. At 10 - 12% bf, total body weight is ~225 to 230 lbs. Plus -- and this is what's tough -- account for the lean body mass that would be lost as a natty drops from 10 - 12% to 4 - 6%, and hormones plummet. Perhaps 235? 240? From what I've seen, pure meso or endo/meso guys blessed with robust bone structures, thick joints, broad shoulders, wide hips, etc., may be able to hit 6'3" - 6'4" 230 - 240 at 12 - 15%. At a legit 10% bf, 225 is probably the upper-limit.
