How much should I weigh?
This is a popular question. Below is how to calculate how much you can lose per week (1.5% bodyweight). The first question to ask is, "how many weeks till we compete?". The second question is, "how much bodyfat do you have?".
Take your weight and multiply by .985 to find out how much weight you can lose in one week (1.5%)
Ex.
138 x .985=135.93
135.93 x .985=133.89
133.89 x .985=131.88
131.88 x .985=129.90
^^^ That's 4 weeks...
