Title: bodyfat % for pros year round vs top natty guys?
Post by: Tom on January 06, 2009, 07:18:32 AM
just curious as to what the usual bodyfat percentage for the pros are? i'm guessing the mass monsters like cutler have a higher percentage than the symetrical shaped guys like a dugdale or dex? either way anyone have a guess as to what their bodyfat is?

what is the healthy year round bodyfat percentage what can maintain year round? pro or natural.

i'm guessing the top natural guys whether musclemania competitors or fitness models (i.e. sagi kalev) have the lowest bodyfat year round hence their always ripped because they have to be.

first of all Jay is leaner than Dexter in the offseason most of the time...

second of all you have to be a complete retard to think musclemania competitors are naturals..

when phamacuticals are involved you can get as fat as you want cuz your 16 weeks away from being shredded again

...actually, the above statement is alittle unfair because Pro's also have muscle memory on their side however the gas plays a huge role as well

thats not exactly true.

and you need to think about skin tightness too. thats a big factor. get too fat - skin wont be tight to the skin, might be too thick, even with very low bodyfat your condition wont be as impressive.

it also depends on what hormones aand stimulants are being used.

I wouldn't disparage the credability of the test but the credability of some bodybuilders..
