Agree. My estimation at 5'9 he will need to be around 195 to be at 15%.

You're probably in the 17% range. But again there's a lot of skin that needs to shrink down. That'll take awhile. Great job though.

He’s probably 25%+ bodyfat.
I agree tremendous progress but this is not close to 15-17% bodyfat.
And just to be honest if you’re needing to use a glp-1 just to get into a healthy weight range, and you’re still on your way to accomplishing that, using tren should not be anywhere on your radar. You should be prioritizing re learning how to live a healthy lifestyle so that you don’t need to rely on a drug that stops your gastric emptying and kills your appetite in order to eat in a calorie deficit and follow a diet. Once you can adhere to a diet long term on your own, then maybe consider blasting more anabolics. Just my 0.02

I am not at 15%. I am around 18-19%. I mistyped my original post.
Thanks buddy, yeah i fat-fingerd the keyboard I did not mean to put 15%. I am guessing about 18%-19. At least thats what it shows on my renpho scale. I am hoping to be around 10% body fat after losing another 20bls.
I love these body fat guesses, very uplifting. Maybe I should go get hydrostatically weighed to end the debate. Or caliper tested and find Helga with strong hands to pinch me. At the end of the day, body fat % doesn't actually mean a whole lot. It is about how you look in the mirror. Suffice to say that I have a lot of work to do in order to get back to where I was before becoming a father. For the past 16 years, I have raised the most amazing two boys, i have coached wrestling, football, and baseball in fact i coached over 400 baseball games in the past 11 years (always with my kids on the team). I developed the classic "coach body". I would not trade that time for anything. You are right about the lifestyle changes that need to be made. Now that I have retired from coaching I have refocused on myself.
I appreciate you taking the time to post on my log. As a little background on me, I grew up in bodybuilding, my dad was a bodybuilder and IFBB judge, he was a significant member of the IFBB Mr, Univers committee before he died in 2005. I have competed as a bodybuilder and powerlifter. I was the head personal trainer at Golds Gym before starting my current job in 2000. I am very adept at dieting and I stepped on stage very lean and dry (lasix dry). So I dont take your thoughts lightly about dieting and lifestyle, i will simply say that from my 30 years of experience in and around competitive sports and bodybuilding, that these new GLP-1 drugs will have the same effect on bodybuilding as did AI when they were first introduced. Yes I can diet without Tirz, done it many times, but boy it is a lot more enjoyable with Tirz than without.
I do agree, it is not time to add anything to my protocol. When I do shift back to gaining muscle, I will do so while staying lean. For me the best time to gain muscle is right after a long cut. I cant wait.

Very well could be. My goal is to get to 10%, it may very well be 185 lbs. When i say 10% my goal is to be almost as lean as your profile pick.
Totally agree, its going to be a grind. I am hopeful that my skin will tighten up before next summer.
I think you’re leaner than your estimate. A lot of loose skin on the stomach. Look at the definition on your delts.
What’s your opinion on tirzepatide vs ozempic?
I ran ozempic at 0.5mg a week with good results but I rebounded pretty quick. Was also scared of the potential permanent paralyzing of the digestive system

Thank you for that. I have run both ozempic and Tirz. Tirz seems to work better for me and is a full appetite eraser. That said, they both work very well. I am not too concerned about my stomach. I do plan to stop taking it when I hit my target weight/BF. When I come off of Tirzepatide I will manage my calories very closely during the transition.

IT DOESN'T MATTER!
You are obviously smaller than the first picture, leaner.
That is all that matters.
Nobody looking at you is saying, "Ooh, Scruf is at xx% body fat." They just see a leaner you.
Keep at it.
Oh, and good call at not running the tren. It messes with your sleep and therefore messes with your cut.
Make this a lifestyle change, not a short sprint.

60 pounds, damn. 
That is something to be proud of. You have to feel better at this weight than you did at 60 more pounds.

That is a great before pic, especially since we know your journey since then.
I hope you stay on the path and wish you success. You already know you can do it, because you are doing it each day.
Thank you sir! I look forward to posting here every week! It keeps me motivated. Especially on tough days when I feel like I have been run over by a truck. Thank you for following. I really appreciate it!
