I'd like to get down to 8-10% bodyfat - weight is irrelevant to me. I want to look good and feel good while keeping a low bodyfat %, period. I would be perfectly happy to add enough lean mass to stay at 225lbs and simply drop the fat.
What is your height and target weight? What is your target for Body Fat %?
I am 6' 1" and dont really have a target weight or body fat % goal. For me, its all about performance. I want to be able to run a faster mile, 5k, 10k. Want to be able to do more burpees in 5 minutes than I can now. As far as looks go, that is a minor secondary to my health/physical fitness level. Dont have a weight goal, dont have a body fat % goal and dont have a clothing size goal. I just want to continue to get better physically and from a purely asthetic viewpoint - to maintain my "V" shape. I havent weight myself in a while but Im thinking I am around 186 pounds or so.
Heavy weights, power lifting type workout (I powerlift), intensive cardio (no endurance stuff)... proper nutrition (lots of veggie, chicken only)... the way i work out and knowing my body.
I am not a power lifter but I try to increase my weights. I work out 4x a week with 20 minutes cardio at 4.0 average speed. So basically very high protein, low cards?
Then, I'll try and hit 165 @ 10% bf once I hit 'elite' totals in powerlifting for 148 class..
Funny thing about HEALTHY gaining of weight, there just comes a time where your body says "this is my maximum". I really really wanted to get to 200 pounds on perhaps the greatest bulk I've ever been on. I had tremendous gains in strength and size and was eating like a man possessed, but all I could do is make it to 199. Im sure, if I got lazy and started sitting around all day, my bodyweight could easily go up waaay past 200 pounds though. But that is not for me.

Not crazy high protein, I take in about 110-130g per day. Carbs, I get most from vegetables and fruit...whole wheat pancakes and oats. I don't eat bread, I only eat rice when I have sushi.
Just that there are not very many 200+ lbs guys responding. No offense to anyone, but I just view anyone under 190 lbs as a smaller guy. But, I don't think that should be 190 lbs of fat slob either. I was a small guy most of my life. I find it intriguing being on the other side of 200 lbs now.
