How many more pounds to lose?

[gHalcon]

I am 5'6" weighing in at 129 with a body fat of 14%.

Is it possible to determine how many pounds I have to lose to get a body fat % below 10?

u have 18 lbs of fat on your body right now....111 lbs lean mass

Holy cow, thats still a bit of baggage to shed.

111 lbs would put you at zero% BF and you'd be dead......lol.

If you are 14% at 129 lbs, then 123lbs should get you to 10%.

Haha, thanks for the clarification.

Do you really want to weigh 120lbs?

Yeah bro dont be like some of these guys and be obsessed with staying super lean.

I have been super lean and definately understand that you feel supreme when your lean.
But if you want to gain mass, dont get too crazy with staying ultra lean in the process.
Its not gonna hurt at all to be over 10% while gaining mass.

Alot of more experienced guys dont even stay below 12 to 14% when gaining.

The bottom line is that your not gonna be able to juggle being really lean with maximizing your gains too. There is a line your gonna have to just draw and say look, if i want to maximize my gains im gonna have to eat enough cals and that might require a little fat too.

I don't intend to stay this lean for long, maybe until this year is over. I have pretty skinny limbs, its just I got a gut and I really hate bulking up with that hanging around.
