how long to cut for pros?

[chico1st]

Ok when some prostar body builder is bulking then goes and cuts how long does it take them to get low bf%?

I'm not planning on doing this... im just curious. I have cut for 2 months before and gotten a decently low bf% but nothing ridiculous like the pros get.

Depends on their BF level when they start to cut. If an acceptable rate is 0.5% per week, and the bodybuilder wants to reach 3% for competition from 8%, then he better start cutting at least 10 weeks out, if not a little longer.

Wrath on animal pak cut for 20 weeks, but he still ate white rice.

Two friends of mine are getting ready for shows right now...one started "drying out" as he says 16 weeks ago the other hasn't started yet with 6 weeks to go.
