Baxter reckons Amir should be a 105. Webby and Barham should go to 93s and Lucas back to bodybuilding. Dreams. Baxter reckons I should be a 120. Barham should definitely be a 93 but he doesn't like getting fat. Col is definitely tall enough for the 93s or even 105s but he doesn't look like he packs on mass easy (correct me if I'm wrong Col). Lucas no longer looks like a bodybuilder, a fact that I remind him of often. He doesn't like being told he has titties now. But you should Ben. I've seen pics of Barham. I imagine his definition of fat is different from ours. |

Have you done a DEXA scan to see how much lean mass vs fat mass you're carrying? Then you'll have some solid numbers to do maths with to help decide which weight class.

Not yet mate i'd like to but the nearest place i know of is a bit of a drive. I use Parillo's calliper test to get a rough idea and go from there. |

Being a fat 93 is a bit lame lol but one day ill be lean.... I hope...
In all seriousness last year (2012) I was 93's (@91.8kg I think) an totalled 640 at a novice meet in June (~18% BF). I then shortly afterwards decided to cut and by Oceanias in december I totalled 627.5kg in the 83's (@82.4 I think) so a lot lighter. I then ate way too much on my quest back to the 93's an totalled 687.5kg in April (~90.8kg I think) before hitting my 700 at the worlds just been (about 91.8 I think I weighed in at).
In reality I wasn't that lean as an 83 at ~10% BF with calipers and I'm probably 16-18% now so a fairly fat 93 lifter. So yes mass moves mass but I'm a bit too fat for my liking and after seeing pics of the 1 & 2 in my weight class I really need way more lean mass (and strength obviously) to have a chance of hitting the podium.

how fast did you cut the weight off mate? geting from 627.5 to 687.5 in four months is a massive effort to. Did you put most of the weight back on early or was it pretty steady?
I did a super mini cut just to see how fast i could cut for a meet and it looks like most of the extra weight is just fluid so i'm going to hang onto it and just maintain for the next comp and see how the cut feels. I can hit 89kg fairly easily but really have to focus on my eating to get any heavier.

I put it on fairly quickly, hence why I'm fat now haha. Going to start eating a bit cleaner an doing a bit of cardio (skipping intervals etc.) an hopefully just slowly lean out

But yeh was a big improvement but got to be confident an expect gains when putting on weight. It should come with the territory. My Wilks went up but not as happy with my appearance but it is powerlifting!
