With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

My weight goal is to weigh 180-190. (185 is ideal) I want to probably bulk up to like 190-200 and then cut down to 185 at a good definition (whats a good bf% for this, and how can i measure my current bf% ...never really looked into that) I have been doing well with keeping my current calorie count up, but if anyone has any tips, id be more than eager to hear them (like favorite shakes/recipes) because i get my kitchen back in one month!!!!!!!! But also, what are some good tips for cutting up once i've reached that point? Also, i think asimmer mentioned some tips on making you look more defined (such as a tan ) and some ways that i can achieve that...but i lost which post that was...and i can't find it for some reason. I'm stoked :) plus next year, i'm probably joining a powerlifting team :) :) but yeah, thanks for any tips etc

I think calipers are just rubbish and unreliable.. The important thing is to use the same system everytime as they do vary. Don't believe the reading just take it as a give or take- it's a reading for you- I'll explain a gym impedance kit from shoulder to shin measured me as 21% and my Tanita scale at home 24%.. but 3 months and some weight loss later the scales show 19% and 22%- so I can see results that are accurate enough. True readings will only come from serious hospital equipment. BEST OF LUCK IN ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS.
