Are you 5% bodyfat or below?

[dullboy]

i frankly don't know how guys do it. it has to be genetics.


the only way i can get below 10% when i run 20+ miles a week.

then i wind up losing mass, so it's self defeating.

I would be a very mean person if I had to keep my BF at 5% or lower!

I hear you there. It blows!!

How long have you been shut down bro?Pm me if you have to.

i hate people that call bullshit whenever someone posts a low BF number.
i usually sit around 5 percent YEARROUND. yes that is true. i am currently at 6.5% and it looks good on me, but i like to be leaner. keeps me looking super jacked.

Yo bro, where in the hell have you been????

You have to admit though, 285lbs at 6.5% bf is a tough accomplishment. Makes it a bit hard to believe without pics. Especially from somene who's been on the board about 5 minutes.

tough?????

there a masters national guy at my gym, 320 in the off season, steps on stage at @ 250, probably 5% bf. i could care less if someone says there 5'8" 190 and 5%, that is accomplishable, hard but can be done. but to simply hover @ 300 pounds with paper thin skin naturally, come the f on. lets be realistic here.

im about 177 and 5% at 5'9, age 24..just came off my 2nd show...took the overall also...felt great...
now for you wondering what 5% looks like...using the 3 point caliper method be4 the night show i was: chest=2mm, abs=3mm, legs=3mm...when u can get a 10mm total or below thats a good way of know knowing youre good enough for a contest
visceral fat in a normal folk generally is around2.8% of your bodyfat so your external bodyfat should be 2.2% or lower if you want to be 5% bodyfat...just so you guys know

=)

Also to the guy who said its all genetics...WRONG ANSWER...i was 120 at 5'9 and 12% bodyfat at age 17 after 1 year of dedicated training but not much idea of the right way to train or eat...
its hard work, consistency, knowledge, nutrition/supps/training and all those other things that make a good champion...i would know *wink*

To say that bodybuilding is not genetics is also false. It has alot to do with it.. It is also a science.. But I wont disagree with the hard work, nutrition, etc..
