That's about where I started my cut last summer - i've since wasted away to the high 220's, but doesn't stop people coming up to me telling me how "big" i got. I don't think I'll ever get back up there at my old age. Prob won't push beyond 235, 240 max. I want to keep the BF 12% or less year round. Suboptimal for size and strength but I'm getting my AARP card soon enough so those days are long gone (at least for me).
The lion doesnt concern himself with aeathetics only lifting heavy as shit. I train and compete in strongman at a higher level I dont bodybuild so I dont think much about that. A lil extra weight helps with leverage in this sportYeah bro we're in a league of our own. I looked at your pic, you get the 20% down and you'll be a straight animal. In that pic you do look lesser than that though.
At my Pinnacle I was 285lb biggest I've ever been, but chunky big, I had abs but fluffy at the surface. Extremely stout would best describe. Over the last decade I've focused on a diet primarily consistent with fish, lean beef, and turkey. My lipids are hereditary so I'm always concerned.
Reta is to thank for the recent BF drop. But it's also not enjoyable. Reta is incredible to me, I don't resent food but I find eating is satisfied after a few bites rather than cleaning the plate historically. Haha
I feel best around 15% and I'm past the age of impressing anyone besides myself. My biggest enemy is me. But where I'm sitting now I'm not overly large, while still extremely athletic.
I'll tell you this though, I am currently working on it cutting down to 15% while cruising for funsies and upping the Reta dose. Hope my strength doesnt take a hit
