Title: IF YOU COULD BE WALKING AROUND AT 3-4% bodyfat naturally
Post by: Marty Champions on April 23, 2007, 07:37:22 PM
why would you take steroids to be big and ripped

why not just be ripped without the roids and not as big from the steroids that probably add 20-40 pounds of water weight

I used to walk around at about 5.5-6% since my job is so active. No cardio, nothing but eating. I was about 180lbs.
I'm about back there now, little bit more muscle though.... :)

only ppl with willpower and sacrifice and can do that. i personally think naturals should be considered elites. after all its us who don't use drugs at all to get where we wanna be. we just do the good ol fashion hard work way. thats like paying somebody else to cook your food why cuz ur too lazy. don't get me wrong nothing wrong with going to a restraunt every now and then or if ur short on time. but just because you don't like cooking is a different story. thats why i think steroid users dont like work.

i think most people(not all) juice for the same reasons people are fat fucks, because it is easier than doing it the right way.....but some people do it to compete professionally.....i've known guys that juice and they look like they have never lifted in their lives....i guess each to their own...

i would have no reason to walk around at that low bodyfat. no one finds it attractive except other dudes, and you'll simply be smaller than if you're at around 10% without losing any appreciable definition for a day-by-day living.

i'd much rather be 210@10% than 194@3%. same amount of muscle, but you'll be bigger, no less athletic and energetic, and girls aren't going to think you look gross as hell from the veins.

Dude, you're 260 looking decent. You could be 240@10%...

These 2 ecto stricks can only dream of that :)

3-4% is for meth heads.     9-10% is perfect.  No jiggly fat, just a hard body.

To compete, drop to 4-5% and call it a day.

3-4% is what Dorian Yates was at the 1995 Mr. Olympia. The general concensus is that this was the best overall conditioninig ever seen on a bodybuilding stage. That being said, NOBODY walks around at 3-4% BF, as your body cannot operate at that low of a bodyfat. Your immune system would shut down. Probably the lowest you could walk around on a day to day basis is 7%.

Do you realize how LOW a real 3% bodyfat is? Only a natural ectomorph (who would have a hell of a time putting on ANY muscle at all ) could maintain that % and still lead a normal life! Anybody else would have to count every single carb and do an inordinate amount of cardio! Life is too fucking short boys and girls  :)

I'll be super fucking honest with you... I don't want to be 3% Bodyfat, I don't mind if I have around 15% it's healty and that is one of the main reasons I do this sport, I'm 32 and after what I have been trough I promise you your view of life changes.

to walk around at 3% is pretty pointless if you ask me, the only reason I'd want to get that low is for a show and I doubt I could do it just to do it.  It would have to be a concentrated effort and everything would have to fall into place.  Getting in the single digits is possible but even that would be alot of work for someone who isn't an ecto to begin with.

if you do it DW then more power to you, I'd be interested to see how you feel getting to and maintaining that level of conditioning.

3% is downright stupid, it's a health risk.

Waddy

you're not at 5% yet...you are still carrying IAF this is why your waist isn't smaller.  Keep up the dieting and it will come down.

It already looks smaller though

You a have certain natural limit which many people are not satified with. Most people can't be big and ripped at the same time naturally. Why not take steriods?

Word, been there done that.  It hurts to be that lean.  It's all fun and games until they have to cut the shoes off your feet the day after the show from the water retention.

No I wish I did, that was back in 00 and digital cameras were like a Grand.  My bitch ex-girlfriend took our photoalbum so I have like maybe 10 photos of my whole bb career.  It really sucks.

Yeah, you only have 10 photos of yourself to look at. 

That IS horrible.

i think it's physically impossible to be even ALIVE with a body fat % that low!!! if u are walking around with 3-4% body fat, you are walking around ooking like the living dead! even 5-6% is low! (10% is about average)
