Cool!!
I'm more than happy with 14 or less and now I'm only 4% and 30 pounds away from my goal of 220@10%.
I have lots of extra skin so I need to get bigger and leaner to fill that shit back out but with healthy and lean muscle.

If you kept the same bodyfat thickness but gained 30 lbs of muscle, you would be somewhere close to 10% because it is a percentage of lean mass to fat mass. Gain more muscle without gaining fat and you effectively lower the percentage of you that is fat. Youll look bigger in the mirror but no leaner simply because the skinfold thickness has not changed.

All of this to say: use the mirror above all. The bf monitors are cool indicators, but only one tool in the toolbox. It really doesnt matter what percent you are, as long as you look 100% awesome to yourself.

That's the plan burlyman!!
Gain muscle and limit the amount of fat gained.
I'd also be happy to be 195@10% and that's not fair off, but my long term goal is 220-225@10%.
I don't pay much attention to what the scale says other than weight because like you said all that matters is how I see myself.

I also have to say SwoleSource.com, it's members, and staff ROCKS!!!
