Work with me here, cause I killed the thread.
BW at time of pic -(BW at time of pic*(1- (current BF%age)/100)*(1-(desired BF%age)/100))
That’s how many pounds of fat you need to lose from BW at time of pic to reach desired BF percentage if your lean mass stays the same.
192-(192*.85/.91)= 13 pounds, which is what you need to lose to be 9%
192-(192*.85/.95)= 20 pounds, which is what you need to lose to be 5%
Assuming that you’re BF is 15%, which is a fair assumption. It’s often a bit higher than you think. Visible abs doesn’t mean 10-12%, I think 15 is somewhat accurate.
This is a ballpark figure. 5% without losing muscle sounds hard. 9% seems completely possible. Since you’ve discovered this site, I don’t doubt that you’ll make it. Just remember that while reading the articles is silver, working hard is gold.

thanks…i joined a second gym (cheap, only $75 for 6 months at my school) and requested a body composition/fitness assessment test (free). Should have it done pretty soon once a trainer contacts me.
Anyway, hit 2 pr’s today and weighed in at 191.5 ---- 250x8 row and 250x1 tri pushdown (leaning back and away, not cheating)
