Hey Layne,

How high do you personally get and how high would you recommend for others in terms of a max bf %?

Instead of stopping my bulk at a certain poundage I want to stop at a certain bf percentage. Thanks!

I'm sure that was in one of his videos - not that I remember. I'll speculate he will get up to 10 - 15%

I'll bet one wooden nickel.

I'm pretty sure he gets over 10%. I am guessing he probably doesn't get to 15% especially with the way he bulks. Just wondering how high he gets and what he recommends. The number is probably a little different for everyone. But there has to be a sticking point when you are cutting when you say, " I never want to get over ___% again" For the amount of muscle I gained from ___ this point on it was not worth it for the muscle I lost when cutting. I think Francisco said 13% was his 'magic number.'

Personally after starting my diet at god knows what % I really think being around 10% would be great.

Layne has vanished and hasn't been on for days. He must be really busy.

sorry guys, I was visiting my parents and had limited access. I let myself get between 7-11% on calipers so about 10-14% in reality (calipers measure 3% too low usually). It will vary from person to person though depending upon your bodyfat setpoint, if you are an endo, you might have to go higher since your body is normally around 13-16%, an ecto may be able to stay at around 6-10%. Basically if you get below your setpoint your body will sense that you are deprived and it will not store net protein so you need to stay within your setpoint range in my opinion.
