I competed at 5% by the 7 site caliper method and it was too fat for me.

I was aiming for 3% by the caliper this year but I will be about 4.5% because I started to late.

Aim for 3% and if your are shreded stop dieting before the show and maitain your condition.

Aim low and you wont be disapointed

Drexx,
How much bf is reasonable to lose in 5-6 weeks?

Update:
I'm at 8% now, 200lbs. I've got 6 weeks until the competition. One trainer says that I'll be cutting it really close, while the other says that I'm right on track. Who's right? The one who says that I'm right on track says that with a good sodium load, even if I don't get to a certain bf%, say 2-3%, I can look really good. What do you guys think?

pros get down to around 3% plus diu's to kill all water weight. of course its not healthy thats why theyre passing out backstage...its an ugly site.

What do you all think about this? I'm at 8%bf right now with 6 weeks til competition. One trainer says that I'll be cutting it really close, while the other says that I'm right on track. He says that I will be fine because with the sodium loading I'll look much leaner even if I'm not at 2-3%.

It also is height dependent, I'm 5'5" and would want to be below 3%

 

[LSUMuscle]

What do you mean by height dependent? I'm 5'9" so how does my height affect me?
