How Long to Go till I Hit 10%?

Jacked bro powerlifter checking in. Jk, sort of.

#1 - You would have to try extremely hard to get really strong and gain no muscle, so I’m skeptical of this observation you made.
#2 - What powerlifting routine(s) have you been doing for the past 2 years? Most powerlifting routines worth their weight have ample accessory movements/rep range variation to spur on that hypertrophy (I’m biased towards 5/3/1). Sure, it is not the main focus of those programs, and you will likely see more gains with a specific BB routine, but it would either be a crappy PL program or user error if you “gained no muscle” in 2 years.
#3 - Your lifts are decent for your weight. So good job there.
#4 - You are far from fat.
#5 - How old are you/how many years lifting experience? (any training beyond the 2yrs of PL training?)

This offends me.

Oh my, please don’t make this a goal. You might get abs, but at the expense of looking like my 8year old cousin…

Feel free to take a peek at my TRAINING LOG; I’m a “little 5’9” guy" as well, currently sitting at 214.0lbs probably similar BF% ish.

Also, the gentleman above have given some great tips. Don’t take any of my comments the wrong way, read them in a bluntly humorous kind of way.

Good luck and feel free to post any more questions, there is a knowledgeable group of lifters on this forum.
