Gonna try to cut some fat

[banginplates]

Hello all.I am still a newbie to most,butI will give this a try.I am currently 28y/o, 6'2 ,320lbs, and am 28%bf. In the morning I will start my new cutting diet,and training. I plan on lowering my carbs to around 40% at first,and go down from there. I am new to the world of powerlifting,and many will say why cut up? Well my reply is: I have been fat all of my life from a bout with bone cancer.I survived the cancer(17 years now),and would like to look good for once in my life. I know powerlifters shouldn't care alot about how they look,as long as they lift good. I want to be the exception to the rule. So stay tuned this same bat channel,and hopefully less fat will be on board.

I think power lifters should care how they look. I train for strength and size and do care about bodyfat. 28% is unhealthy whether you are a power lifter or not. I've spoke to you on the other board and I know you are driven and will succeed in getting yourself where you want to be. I look at it like this, you can be the strongest man in the world but if you get winded getting out of your car, can't tie your shoes and have a heart clogged with fat, it means nothing. Worry about whats best for you. Good luck!

I COULDNT AGREE MORE BigS!!!! Stick with looking good and getting leaner. Who gives a shit if you can lift the back end of a car? Really. Think about it. I'm not saying what your doing isnt respectable, but, in my honest opinion, you'll be MUCH happier and feel 1000% better being leaner and more attractive when you look in the mirror. Good luck bro!!!
