go as low as you can comfortably be at while maintaining a look you like, I think 25-30 Pounds should be enough for 13% if you have some muscle mass

at 6'4" 221 and 20% bf, you're carrying about 44lbs fat. to hit 12% you'd need to drop to ~195lbs (24lbs fat). but here's the kicker you'll lose muscle too unless you're surgical with diet and training.


don't aim for 180 unless you want to look like a starving giraffe. here's the play:


cut to 195 over 16 weeks (1lb/week)

assess - if still soft, go to 185

rebound to 200 with lean gains

protein at 1g/lb current weight

train like your life depends on it (it does)

no more than 500cal deficit

glad you're tracking macros already ahead of 99% of guys. at your height, 195lbs at 12% would put you at 172lbs lean mass which is solid.

when you start seeing veins in your lower abs, that's when you're actually lean

taller guys can get away with higher scale numbers - i was 6'5" 205 at 12% and looked diced

don't trust gym mirrors, they lie. use tape measure and cold morning pics
