Starting weight???

[FFQuads]

30 years old, 5'7, 193 lbs.....

I just starting dieting to get ready for a new bulk cycle. I've been as heavy as 235 lbs. and as low as 165 lbs. I sure like the idea of starting really lean this time. By looking at the pictures, what type of weight range do ya'll think I should start at? BF%....etc

Thanks....

The pic is too small, but you look like a beast. Glad to have you on the boards FF.

What are your measurements? Biceps, Waist, and Quads? What is your current BF%?

 

[FFQuads]

Alllllllll.......

You know these better than me! Would you like these measurements flexed or limp?

 

[FFQuads]

Biceps = 17.5
Waist = 33.5
Quads = 27.5
BF% = Your guess is as good as mine???

I will have my wife take some better pictures later.

well the folks here can help mroe if you tell more -

My guess is Bi's 18", Waist 35", Quads 29"

But you tell us - and flexed - nothing here at EF is measured limp - NOTHING.

Cold (not pumped) but flexed is usually standard as far as I know.

 

[FFQuads]

A bit bigger then......

Biceps = 18
Quads = 28.5

Looks like good overall mass bro. Can't really give opinions on proportionality without more pics and better quality.


Ever compete?

More picture soon. I need my wife to get some good ones. It's pretty hard to hold that stupid camera in the mirror and get a good shot. No, I have never done a show. I might next year if I like my look. I will not go on show unless I'm tip-top! Lot's of work still! Any ideas on how low I should get in weight before starting this bulk cycle? I'm like a tree trunk and really don't want to start to heavy or look out......huge - huge - huge with big waist and mid - section.

Personally, Ii'd go on a maintenance diet (calorie range wise)... and keep reps "mid range" (10 tops... 6 low)... and get the cardio wheel churning... 20-30 minutes 4-5 sessions per week.

Do you have any specific time period in which you're looking at to start the bulk?

You should know what works best for you bro seems like you've done well in the past with putting on muscle... unless u popped outa your mother in a double bi pose
