On June 17, I was 25 percent body fat. Today I am 22 percent. I've gone from 240 pounds to 230. I have huge bones so even 235 pounds would be an achievement. It's not where I want to be. But I'd rather be 230 and healthy than 210 with body dysmorphia and a need for steroids.
Remember that bodybuilding is not a quick fix. It's a lifelong pursuit. You have to think long-term and ask yourself what sort of workout plan is going to get the results you want and allow you to make the muscle gains you desire while staying healthy over the long term.
A slow and moderate approach is probably best most of the time for most bodybuilders out there.
