Straight4Straight Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Currently at 15%. Happily maintaining at that level. personally find it the “balance” where it doesn’t take much effort but I still see good abs shadows and shape. only on selective summers/ holidays I try to be full on and get ripped down to 12%.

anxiousfriedtofu Posted February 7, 2024 Report Share Posted February 7, 2024 For context, now reaching peak bulk for 3rd time, already gained and cut twice, from a skinny fat 25%+ since mid 2021. Started 2024 at 72 kg, above 20, now maybe +2 or +3%. I've been bulking since September, then at 12% as confirmed by Inbody scan (65 kg, skeletal muscle 32.6 kg). Should be ending the bulk at just below 74 kg max by end of this month, Feb. Was afraid of bulking beyond 20% late last year, however the ratio of muscle gain:fat is still acceptable for me. Also been motivated by the strongest I've been, plus haven't achieved the desired upper:lower proportions to validate a cut. Interestingly the last few % gain really made a diffrence to my appearance (see my status update for back shot). People began commented on my width specifically. Since I am satisfied with this bulk, just decided to start cutting before exceeding 25% for fear of a prolonged cut. Wearing fitted shirts, I can now see a slight flab already forming. I choose not to be obsessed with maintaining percentage in the low teens as I wish to have flexibility in my dining options, including home cook food by mum and eating out with friends. Maybe have an abs specialization phase in the future. Will get another Inbody scan end of this month! thickpec and Strange Fruit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thatguy642 Posted June 13, 2024 Report Share Posted June 13, 2024 I’m probably in between 15-20 to be honest. Would love to be leaner! Lower abs are a bitch. AgentFit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well unless you are squatting bodybuilder levels of weight (and probably using some PEDs) having some junk in the trunk helps balance off the top half and gives some shape to the legs. Reducing your body fat will mean burning off quite a bit of the fat there (since there isn’t much to burn in your torso) and you definitely don’t want a flat bum.

radiusulnar Posted August 9, 2024 Report Share Posted August 9, 2024 How do you derive your bf level? Visual inspection and compare with some online photo? Skin fold measurement? Weighing scales? Special machines? I tried these methods but the numbers vary significantly. So not sure which is accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
