Was no where CLOSE to 200 lbs @ 10%. In one of the gnostic gospels, he tried to get there… sat on the Mount of Olives with 5 fish and 7 loaves of bread… he ate ALL day long and never ran out of food. Finally decided he was an ecto after that and picked up Cross Fit. The rest is history.

I’ve been training and coaching people for a while and I can’t tell you how often I have heard that same question (or a similar one)!
The fact is that people are insecure and want to be comforted in their goals.
In other words they want to believe that is "they do X for Y amount of time they WILL be 200lbs at 10% BF (or insert other stats).
Simply put we want to be SURE that if we do the required tasks we will achieve a precise, measurable and predictable result without a doubt.
But it doesn’t work like that. Some people will need years and years of dedicated training to hit a lean 200… some will never get there… other will get there in less than year (heck one of my friend was 5’10" 195 at less than 10% without even training). The fact is that you cannot know the answer for sure.
And I personally find that those who ask these questions are those who don’t really love training (they might like it, but it’s not their passion) they are simply doing it for the results. And ironically, those who do it only for the results are those less likely to reach their goals.[/quote]
This post pretty much answers the thread.
I think some people on this site need to realise that not everyone has even average genetics and by definition half of people have average or below average genetics. Further more your idea of average is skewed if you think that 5’11 or 6’ is average height.
Having said that I agree with what X has said in the past, that this is a BB website and we shouldn’t be assumeing everyone has bad genetics at the expense of giving good advice that is better suited to more gifted individuals.

Son of a bitch! Why the hell was this in my livestream NOW?
Never would’ve looked at the damn thread otherwise.
Gravedigger is a mean truck though. I’ll take it.
A few years or so (for a person of average height).
About half that or even just a few months for guys well over 6ft.
Height + avoiding cutting too soon are biggest initial factors IMO
