the final 2%

ok so this is a body BUILDING forum, so ill ask you why are you trying to lose even more weight, 6'1" 180 is pretty lanky bro. IMO you should be trying to add mass, up to 220-230 range then if you want try shedding some fat. Muscle incinerates fat, and you dont have much of it. And you are no were near 6-7% in that last picture.

Is your goal to just be lean as possible or are you trying to build a muscular physique?

Well I may be posting in the wrong area but my goal is to be more lean and athletic, than a bulky muscular physique. But you're right putting on more muscle might help incinerate the remaining fat.

i gotcha

it would be easier to get leaner if you carried more lbm. but to each his own. like the others said i would do this...

first cut out the drinking, once every couple weeks in moderation fine, but getting absolutely shit faced isnt. Worst thing you can do imo. Add more protein to your diet. lower your sodium intake, drink atleast 1 gallon of water a day. and try one of the fat burners from one of the sponsors here, they are great products and combined with your activity level and diet you would see results without a doubt.

You got a little beer belly goin' there, sport. No offense... But you're skinny.
EAT young man, EAT! And lay off the sauce.

there is zero purpose in getting any leaner, in fact you'll be hurting your body to go lower than 6% it is unsustainable, you'll have less energy, feel worse. once you get below 7-8% bf it's actually unhealthy. at this point add about 10-15 pounds lbm and i think you'll be exactly where you want to be, you'll look more ripped with more LBM. it's interesting a lot of times you see someone get on gear and even though they don't lose any fat they look leaner b/c the muscle is so developed. interesting more still is someone on gear can develop abdominals that will be visible through 12-15% bf, not recommending gear to you or anything but i'm jsut saying, that extra lbm is what's needed to develop your physique, not more bf loss, besides you will look sick in the face, emaciated.

Best way to say it. 180 for 6' 1 is low. even 200 is just decent. trust me. dont be scared of 200. If you have a low bf, you will look so much better and more cut up. Tall people can hit 220and not look 'too big'. Its a curse and a blessing. Everyone wants to be tall but its such a bitch trying to look big. You need to at least hit 200 just to start of with something.
