Im a Powerlifter probably sitting at 12% BF.

I voted YES

20% is fat. I dont see the point in being fat for the sake of it.

When i was playing rugby I was 78kg @ 9-10% BF

I have gained a bit of BF and am now 92kg and understand that it comes with the teritory but i would have to eat too extreme excess to even contemplate 20% BF.

What's your height and your best lifts?

Ok

Age= 22

Squat= 280kg

Bench= 147.5kg

Deadlift= 265kg

Impressive. These are competition lifts I take it in the 100 kg class?

This illustrates my point. Pomana was a lot shorter than you and he competed 100-125 eventually. He had a bf of more than 20% I would say.

I suspect you will probably end up being a lot heavier than 92 kg and will probably carry bf more than 12% if you are going to make a serious impact on the international stage.

These were all done at approx 88kg in the under 90kg class. I have put on more weigth to be up the top of the new 93kg class. Yup all IPF sanctioned comps.

I train with 3 other top juniors and i dont think any of them would be over 15% BF

I know what you mean re: pomana tho. I have been told by others that i will end up in a heavier class. Probably the 105kg class as an open

I have this view that most powerlifters compete in a class or two below where they should be. I am 5 foot 4 and I towered over lifters when I went to international comps. Even as an 82.5kg I was tall. Let your body do what it wants to do and don't hold it back if it wants to grow.

Is 20% severely overweight? No

Do people deposit fat differently? Yes

Is 20%+ still fat? Of course

I don't think anyone has had a personal crack at you mate. Except Tom who said you had no penis? But that's just Tom.

Just out of interest mate, what are your stats at the moment. I mean weight and bodyfat, not dick size lol.

Ya boy rookie tried to go to town on me

Fluctuating between 71 and 75 and bf is prbably round 10%. Some people reckon round 8% but I really don't think so but never been that great with sizing it up with the eyes

Mate, I think I did my best to call a truce to the war once you had a crack at the little japanese firecracker. If you dangle your arms in the lions cage, there is a fair chance it will try to take a chunck out. But I guess you know that?

So a lean body mass of say 67 kg? What will you be on stage?

Dehydrated I hope to come in at around 69-72 next year
