What % Body Fat Are You and What do You Want to Be By Summer?

[Victor]

Man, you are 7% and you still can't see your abs? Do you work them with weights? Or are you doing crunches? 3% seems dangerously low for a goal. I have heard if you use weights with low reps 8 - 10 your abs will grow just like any other muscle. Maybe you should try that first.

yep 7 % and still no abs ( well only the upper a lil bit ) , this really sux

I never trained my abs , maybe that is why I can't see them , and ALSO the fact that I lost 50 lbs of fat doesn't help my skin ,

I have loose skin all over my abs region , so add this to the fact that I never trained my abs ...and ....no abs

I once had a 43 " waist , now I have a 34 " waist , there is some loose skin that prevent me from seeing my abs .....

I just started ( about 3 weeks ago ) training my abs with intensity , let's see if it will help

Well I'm about 87 % now plan on being only 78 % if I stay on my strict diet, was at 78% last summer and my abs were well anyway something was protruding out of my stomach maybe it was just all the hernias from heavy lifting.

Victor,

Yea I think training abs with weight will really help over just regular crunches. I mean look at your other muscles you wouldn't do a 100 reps of bench press you grow at the 8 rep to failure range try the same with your abs. Good luck.

I'm at 15% right now. I would like to get down below 10% by the beginning of April, I hope that I can do that. I'm cheating with winny at 50mg and 120 mcgs spiropent per day(2 wks on 2 wks off).

yep , I am trying something similar to that , right now I do only 8-15 reps for abs per set . I try to reach failure in 8-15 .

That'll work. Those hanging straight leg raises (on the dip bars)really kill my lower abs. Finally got up to doing 15 reps before I almost pass out from pain.

I'm doing the opposite I'm starting to bulk in 2 weeks.. It'll be all clean eating etc. First 6 weeks Bulk, last 6 weeks Diet.. I'm wondering how it will turn out. I've never done a split bulk/diet in one cycle.

Has anyone every tried it?

how are you going bout this task

I think with dnp and strong will it could be done. As for me I don't measure bf% because its a known fact that calipers suck. I use the mirror method and cut until I look good.

 

[nick_067]

I'm at about 13% right now. When my stuff arives, I'm going to do a fina based cycle with a strict diet to hopefully get to around 7% by end of May for my trip to Cancun. Also gonna add some heatmiser to try to get the body fat down.

hey curling

Are you sure? I mean what if you keep the protien grams up and just cut back on the fats and carbs and do cardio? Please answer because I did not know this. I mean do you loose muscle or just maintain?

I imagine maintaining is fairly easy, even at a lower bf%.
My goal is to constantly grow and put on size. If I don't have enough extra cals. I'm not going to grow as well, I might look a little better, but 10% is still lean enough for looking good.
