Body fat question

[MustAdministerSeroidS]

OK i am getting worryed about my body fat now i am 24yrs 6ft and 202lb body fat is 23%. I am currently on a bulking cycle so i am adding a bit of cardio to my training just to stop my body fat getting any higher.

My question is how much would i weigh if i got my body fat down to 10% ? Is there a formula for this?


Thanks

There is no formula, that number will be different for everyone. But if you're 23%, why are you bulking?

Not big enough yet and i need a bit of fat to grow, I am just conserened that my body fat has got this high.

It sounds very high for your height and weight. How did you measure it?

Tanita scales i know they are not the most acurate but when i got the scales lasst year i was 16% so what ever my body fat is it is up 7% and i am beggining to feel a little porky.
Guess i need to keep an eye on my diet and start addressing the problem when i finish my cycle.

I do belive in bulking and if you read the hole thread i do not want 23% bodyfat but i do not grow if i am walking around with low body fat ie<10% Hence the question dose anyone know what i would weigh if i got down to 10%bodyfat.
My plan is to get the size i am looking for then slowly diet down and matain my body fat at about 10%

I am 24 at the moment by the time i am 26 i will weight about 14st with about 10% body fat. I know what needs to be done.

Multiply your body weight by your BF%. That's the weight of the fat in your body. If you subtract 10 pounds of fat, divide this new number by your original bodyweight minus 10 pounds. In reality, its not so easy to just strip off the fat with no concomitant muscle loss, so you'll probably have to get your BF% checked again down the road.

Keep in mind that you will look bigger with a smaller BF%, so don't fall into the trap of just looking at the scale. Strength gains and the mirror are where I get my feedback.

when i used my tanita scale i was rwady to throw the damn thing out the window the scale was unacurate buy 14%

I bought one of those scales

and they were totally wrong. I even went back to get another one but it was off as well. I first stepped on the scale and it said 24%, I completely freaked. I was really 14%. Don't use those scales.
