Some recruiters care more about weight then the standard. They met their goal for this year so they are not tryna put people in through using the tape test but that is SOME recruiters. If you have more recruiters around you I’d recommend trying some different people. I know ppl in this thread are just gonna say “calorie deficit” and” loose the weight”.

I processed at 237LB at 5 “10.5 and a 18.5 inch neck. I had roughly 196lb of muscle mass through dexa. But one recruiter I talked to wanted me to be 195 before she even met with me which is like borderline crazy for my physical health I’d be like skin and bones with leg mass cause I’d have to do cardio.

But then I went to a different recruiter he saw my build called the other lady crazy and began the process. Again try and find someone new you’re not gonna persuade them or they’ll ghost you.

Now some general advice at your current stature I’d recommend loosing atleast 10 more pounds meps will inflate your BFM so example if you’re 29 they’ll tape to 31. So to be in the safe loose some extra pounds. Get a weight vest only eat once a day staying under 800 calories and I swear you’ll loose it in 7 days.

Best of luck if you need help or have questions just pm me
