My Advice for Anyone 21 and Under

[blue_steel74]

Depends. Look at Jay Cutler at 21. Look at Arnold. If you truly want to be an IFBB pro then younger the better.

6% bodyfat natural is bullshit. I'd have to starve myself and even then, I think I'd be hospitalized before hitting 6% naturally. We all have different genetic makeup. I do agree that you get to a low bodyfat first. Low as in 10%. Maybe even 12% if trying to recomp. But 6% is just out of control.

I started at 19 years old. Most people I know who usee start around that age, 19, 20, 21. Lots of kids 17 even take prohormones like beastdrol bcause "I'm not on steroids" even though they are.

An actually Conan, i got to 4.5% naturally. I didnt stop at 6. And i started at 25%. Ive also got the bodyfat paperwork to prove it

I was at 6% naturally. but i was running 35 miles a week and my diet had almost zero sugar or fats. it can be done but it is very difficult.

I eat alot of carbs and natural sugers from fruits and suck, once a week I do a 5km jog with 30kg pack and a 400-500m swim at the beach when it's warm enough lol fuitge clothes on swim and the jog goes up hill down hill and through sand, so it's difficult but that's all the cardio besides 10-15 min llow intensity run for my warm up is all my cardio, and for 5km run it's sometimes once a fortnight at the least, 2-4 times a month simply and swimming depends on weather and what day, so my cardio lacks and I've certianly got a one digit BF %

Actually, ive only ran tren once. And thy was back last july. But i was bulking, not cutting. I got to 4.5% all natural back in august 2010. I didnt run my first cycle til november 2010.

But how strong/well could you perform at that low? I couldn't imagine trying perform much staying there.. maybe just me
I've wrestled college level so know how to make weight/ starve/ cut weight and be miserable but to just lift and wanna get bigger and stronger and use a steroid see no real benefit to being that low
To me a first cycle should be about adding mass and if can hold a low bodyfat and lift hard and go all out then good but otherwise no reason worry about it. I usually look my best when am weakest for maxs

By the way I am soooo sick of the people under 21 posting and to make it worse they've only been lifting 1-3 yrs.. seriously when I was at that point never thought bout much more than creatine and some protein. They act like that's impressive.
Make it worse their being pricks about it like swiftwhatever it is. Doesn't wanna work hard is 130 lbs. These kids are annoying
