So you want to be low single digit bodyfat?

[Disgusted]

A good friend of mine got his body fat tested using calipers. In a tank top and shorts he looks ripped, striations in his shoulders and legs etc. When he takes his shirt off it's apparent that he holds most of his fat in his lower back, stomach and some upper back. I also tested the same day. I look like a fat tard compared to him but we both tested almost the same. I hold my fat evenly more evenly so the numbers tallied up near the same. Lots of guys will post photos of their most lean body parts and make claims at how lean they are.

TA..  most people agree that a caloric restriction is the way to go.  


Here is an idea.. for 2016 start a thread, post all work out and food in take with the goal being getting DaddyWaddy/Jetro/Marty under 10 % BF. He is probably around 30% so you have your work cut out for you.

Can Marty get ripped on olive oil, peanutbutter and beer?

Even if that is 7.5 percent, its not Single Digits? 

Do you know what a single digit is?

My thoughts exactly. He's obviously not a whiz at math.

Unless you are one of the genetic few that stays extremely lean naturally, staying in the mid-lower single digits, especially trying to do it au natural will make you an unhappy camper and won't be very healthy.   That of course means legit single digits.  Not what you think you are.  90% of people are way underestimating their real % of BF.

I suspect this is the truth. It's like the vanity sizing of clothes. Women's sizes have reflected this for decades and now it is happening with men's clothes, particularly pants.

HAHA not even close. Show us some back and hamstring pics? I'll guess (and I'm a good guesser) that you around around 7.5% there.

BTW, low single digits is around 3 to 4%.

being way too generous..I put him at 9-10 in that pic (taken by a potato) youtube search Alberto Nunez...got a Dexa scan and was 7% guy is walking anatomy chart...OP u r not even close

Prime,

What are you still doing with pants on?  You aren't supposed to be wearing any honeybuns and turn your webshow back on.

And Greg here got a Dexa done and is 7.7 percent, yet I am leaner than he is right now and as well in that picture.

Oh rly....u leaner than this???

no you are not and "low single digits" as your thread title claims would be below 4.5% since 4.5 is in the middle of 1-9 (single digits)  see how math works???

Hard to believe people are this dumb, but it is a bodybuilding forum afterall.

7.5 is still a single digit.  The .5 is a decimal and considered a separator.  There is still only one digit in the number 7.5

A single digit is simply a percentage smaller than ten, in other words, any number smaller than 10.

I don't get this madness with low single digit bodyfat levels.  Why go below 8?  Ever?  Seriously, unless you can win a competition and get paid a significant amount of money it is pointless.  People who are that lean look sick.
