I wouldn't mind just running around super shredded all the time.
The biggest problem I have with staying lean is staying warm.
I had to sleep with an electric blanket all summer. Can't stay warm with low bodyfat- not in the single digits.
Freezing all the time.
I have quite the opposite problem, I get too warm. Never have I figured that one out! But I really am warmer with low body fat, as opposed to having 15% or when I stayed a bit higher.
In recent years I've noticed I "run hotter" than most, even having to kick the covers off the bed in the middle of winter, and my g/f hated that because she'd be too cold and I was too warm to be next to.
And having worked in -20* and sometimes -40* freezers, I could wear a wife beater and a shirt over that and still work in there for an hour and a half at a time, go back on the aisle and put the product on the shelf. Drive to the next store without a heater and repeat.
