I dont compete, I would like to loose them though. My only concern was that I am already down to around 8 percent bodyfat. Even if I cut down to 6 percent I would still carry some fat in that one area although the rest of my body has almost no fat at all. So If I cut to 4 percent bodyfat and they go away they will likely come back once I get back to the normal bodyfat level. I dont think it would be healthy to be at 4 percent bodyfat and its pretty impractical and I would likely loose most muscle. I might try to cut a little more but im not sure this one area will go. I have been making some progress the last couple months slowly so maybe in a couple more months.
