I'm not sure why everyone assumes that sub-six percent body fat levels are unhealthy. In his book, Clarence Bass states that he now consistently maintains sub-three percent levels. I was hydrostatically weighed at the Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas more than 6 months ago (body fat level was...

Now what would be the point of me posting a picture? So that you could make comments such as "you're don't have only 3% body fat in that picture," "who cares if you're 3% body fat, you don't have ANY muscle mass" or the classic "you look like you're on the verge of death." lol My...
Thanks for the support nclifter6feet6. What really surprises me is that people refuse to open their minds up to the fact that you may be able to maintain a very low body fat level without any harmful repercussions. Instead of wallowing in ignorance and saying it isn't possible, do some research...
Well, I was hydrostatically tested at a very well respected center - the Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas so I trust their measurements (which is the reason I decided to have it tested there and not a University). Of course, this is the internet and anyone can claim anything. ;) Also, I've...

Thanks for the response. My testosterone level was last at 183 and last bodyfat level at 3.1% (tested hydrostatically). I havent had any problems with blood in functions, pain in arches & havent been sick since reaching this level (now slightly lower). I have noticed that I bruise...
Does anyone know or have a link to the problems associated with an extremely low body fat level (under 3%)? My testosterone levels were checked and were found to be very low (thinking it may be linked to low body fat level). I'm on 150 mg week of Deletestryl now. Thanks for any help.
