Also what I was saying previously is I wanted to get to 205lbs with about 10% BF, this goal just happened to be about 5lbs more LBM than the formula told me I could have.

Now since the sample used were competitive bodybuilders, I'm assuming who were fairly lean, they would have dieted down and lost a few pounds of LBM. So of of these "genetic freaks" or whatever might have 180lbs of LBM at 5% BF in that condition. But before they cut down for a contest they may have had 190lbs of LBM at 12%.

So while it may not be possible to hold a certain amount of LBM in bodybuilding contest shape, it is surely possible to hold more than that at around 10% then right?

Also I think my guess is pretty accurate now after looking at that thread, I guessed 12, but could be as high as 14% I guess.
