Noooo way.

Hey plouffe you think that its that high. Mayo is cut more than me and Im at 13.6% bf


Posted by: once was fat

Unless I did the test wrong. I went 1 inch above my right hip and took the measurment 5 times.


Posted by: plouffe

I don't know man. My boy had a legit skinfold for wrestling and he's around 12%. And he's decently cut.


Posted by: once was fat

Sorry to screw your thread up mayo but does it just take time to get that crease inbetween your pecs. I dont have that but I want it really bad.


Posted by: HoldDaMayo

I'm definitely not 10%... if i were to guess i would say around 14%... but i really have no idea... thing that sux is you can't just get lean where you want to... i feel a hell of a lot leaner in my upper body... but in my midsection and love handles it's a much slower process... i mean, i do see overall progress... but it's small and slow in coming...


Posted by: IronSlingah

how long do you estimate its gonna take you to get sub 10% from around 14% right now?


Posted by: P-funk

it is pretty tough to tell someones body fat percentage by looking at a picture like that becasue everyone holds fat in different spots. You look pretty lean from the front but you may be holding some fat around you lower back, like I do, so that will throw you bf% off from what we can see. Some people hold more on their glutes and some hold more fat on their face. One of my buddis is at about 19-20% but he still has abs!!! He just genetically always has abs. It is really tough to tell but, you look like you are doing a great job man, keep up the good work.


Posted by: HoldDaMayo

thanks P-Funk, I appreciate the positive response


Posted by: jmr1979

your looking good mayo thats all that matters get some calipers and find out where you are can't tell by a picture


Posted by: Cletis2000

somewhere between 12-15%.


Posted by: DeadBolt

I used that caliper I got from here and measure many different times in the correct spot and it said I had 12% bf. Theres NO way in hell I'm that low and I know I look nuttin like you heh. Your looking good though man keep up the good work.

mayo youve done a good job from starting to where you are now..keep up the good work...definitely see a difference


Posted by: HoldDaMayo

you guys are very kind, thanks, just to let you know, i think you all are doing awesome jobs as well... you all inspire me... the little newb that I am

Hey mayo do you have any pics from when you first started. How much cardio are you doing now on your cut.


Posted by: HoldDaMayo

2 days a week cardio... 30 minute sessions on the eliptical at about 75 RPM and distance ends up about 3.2 miles or whatever the measurement is on those things... after the 5 minute cooldown, 35 minutes total it ends up being close to 500 calories by the machine's calculations...

But, the only thing that really started DRASTICALLY changing my body was when I actually stopped cheating so much and really devoted myself to my diet... never going over 3 hours without eating something good... it's just completely changed me...

Funny, I used to read Jodi's posts and go... "this woman is crazy... she is way overdoing the whole diet thing" but she was soooo right... and I wished i would have started sooner... you know those adds where the guys like make crazy progress in a short amount of time... i can sort of understand it now... dieting makes so much of a difference... I'm still trying to perfect my diet... but I know it's really worth it...

I don't really have any pics before november 24th... not that show me without a shirt on or anything... I was too embarrassed... I fluctuate up and down around 175 now... I was at almost 210 Christmas 2002...

Same here Im still trying to prefect my diet. Again bro nice work.


Posted by: Dale Mabry

Looking at your front and back pics, I would have to say that 12-15% is dead on. This is, of course, without seeing your legs.


Posted by: dg806

I'm gonna say 10-12%. You are pretty lean. You look like you are holding a little in the lower abs and love handles. A little Absolved and Lipoderm Ultra should work good for you!


Posted by: Uthinkso

I gotta give ya props here Mayo, lookin good my man.

I am at about 225lb right now, and I just started reading Jodi's posts and following a strict diet. You are 100% right, it changes you a lot. I have only been following the 5-6 meal plan for a week but already I feel better.

185lb is the goal by August, and I am doing little more than diet, cardio, and weights with high reps to get there. I hope I have as much success as you have.


Posted by: HoldDaMayo

Thanks for the advice DG... i was wondering if perhaps now was a good time to try out one of those products...
