Dropping BF% - How Long
Hi folks..
I took advantage of my friends shiney new Digital scales at the weekend, and was a little shocked with results to be honest..
I've always beena little overweight (fat) but been training at a local gym for about 12 months now, during which time I've certainly 'bulked' a bit. Shoulders are broader, back is thicker, good tricep development etc..
Thing is though, I'm apparently 28% BF
I'm 6'3", 228lbs..
I've started (from last week) adding in 2 days of cardio (HIIT) to my 3 day weight training plan. Plus, I've changed my diet too..
Drinking Protein shakes, cut down on carbs, 5 meals a day, lots of water etc..
How long do you seriously think it'll take to drop down to maybe 15% BF on the 'new' regime..?
I certainly wouldn't say no to looking good for summer..
Thanks
K

Re: Dropping BF% - How Long
You may want to get you BF checked with calipers or maybe use a tape measure and BF calculator (you can find one online). At 6'3" and 228lbs, you would not be able to seen any tricep development with 28% BF. Most digital scales aren't really very accurate at all. I've used the tape measure/BF calculator method and it was fairly consistant with what a nutritionist found when using a handheld device.Originally posted by Kurt_wylde

Sweet..
Thanks for the replies..
I'll try and dig out a tape measure and do the math..
I thought that 28% was quite high, but I think it must be pretty accurate.
12 weeks is certainly agreeable to drop my BF though, I'm not looking for an 'easy' option.. I know they don't exist.
Anyone else on here have a timescale on their weightloss..?
