Are there any health benefits to being sub 10% BF?

[Tedim]

This is a serious question, at 10% BF there is energy reserve, good diet without starvation....what is the health benefit of Sub 10? Plus my women seem to prefer 8-10% BF and gag at sub 5-6.

I was going to mention the ridiculous amount of poon, but it seems like you dealt with that in the OP, and I am not sure that is always a positive thing for "health".

health is basically dependent upon genetics

there it is.   having girls worship you daily has to be good for ego and whatnot.

[Coach is Back!]

I agree with this. Although it doesn't hurt to control weight, control food choices ,train ,etc

[mass243]

Not sure about health benefits...

But it separates Men from random "athletic kids". You must want it to get under. Most young males can get to 10% by playing football at backyard. 5% is different.
(Not saying I would be that lean but I give props to people who are.)

[Tedim]

health is genetics, but being lean avoids things like diabetes possibility, fatty liver, high blood pressure.

dont be lazy dontseek a "top bodyfat level" to make yourself believe thats good enough.

ofc 4-5% is extremlyhardto maintain, but sub 10% is piss easy once youre there.

maintaing anything over 6% iseasy, just getting down every single % is not so easy.

when will ppl get it, theres no esy way out.

you think you know an easy way?haha good luck, try it.

if it was easy everyone would walk around shredded.

10% is boderline fat for someonewho trains.

i can be sub 10% without ever going to a gym.

everyone can.

Speaking for me personally....

I have NO trouble with self control and will power,  just the exact opposite, that being said....

I have been sub 5-6 natural for extended periods 6 months +, I felt tired, cramps, sleepy, and began to have stomach issues at 8+% I have none of these symptoms...I agree about genetics with 3 generations of adult onset diabetes I am the 4th....with a normal healthy lifestyle, nothing I can do.

But stress on the body at near starvation cannot be good for extended periods....can it?

Right now I am at 15-18 BF....injury setback and tasty food syndrome  ....but now that I'm back at gym heavy will be 10 in 90 days....just trying to gauge if I wish to go lower!

Not to be too narcissistic....but I HAVE NEVER had a deficit...always a surplus.

That they do.  Had an old girlfriend I dumped email me recently. She talked about how much she use to love my thick black hair.   A real bummer, man.

they want in a fella:

a colemanesque physique

glorious locks of full thick shiny hair, cut into a fashionable style with gel

a 8" long 6" girth everyday penis

6 figure income with plenty of leisure time

easy to maintain without a ton of jelqing

When I get sub 10% I get cold very easily.  Cold hands, cold feet.  The leaner I get, colder my core temps go.

what's the leanest that you've been?

[240_Iz_Nutz]

It always seems to me that once you get into low carb territory, your body adapts. I love being able to just eat and eat and stay lean. I swear I can eat pounds of shit a day without carbs and stay lean. Natural, or using. When I get broke though, carbs are much more cost effective.

[240_Iz_Nutz]

Nice! It also depends on your age. U don't want to be that old creepy guy in the bar hitting on 20-somethings regardless of how low your BF is.

This is a good point. I pushed it up to the limit of being mid to upper 30's and hitting on, and banging, young chicks. It did work a lot, but there comes a time to give it up. They either end up on their knees, or they laugh at you when you walk away. Especially if you are not just made of disposable income.

What's the point then?  When I was in my early 20's I banged chicks in their 30s+ all the time, now in my 30's I can't snag any 30+ year old chicks.

[Psychopath]

Yes, you'll gain inches on your kawk.

Srs...

[anabolichalo]

IMO 20s is the best age. U can bang chicks your age and bang older chicks. 30s it gets tougher b/c most of the chicks in your age group are getting desperate to get married. But, assuming you're in decent shape, u can still bang 20 year-olds and they're still into it. Once u hit 40 it gets trickier. The creepiness factor really sets in at that point. I have 40 year-old friends, who are very liquid, and are always trying to score 20-somethings. Once in a while, b/c they are liquid, they'll succeed but mostly they're getting laughed at the second they turn away or they pick up their card & the bottles stop coming. If u look at it from the chick's perspective, other than getting set up financially, why bother w/ an old dude.

yeah you make a lot of sense fella

the truth is bitter


every day that passes we get older and less desirable to the girls

[El Diablo Blanco]

For women that window is a lot smaller though.  Men at least can still look good into their 50's with a sound diet and workout plan, but women, fuck they hit the wall and hit it hard. 

Ultimately in your 30's sex comes in a couple ways.  Paying for it, which is great, once you find the right whores you can schedule a quick fuck in between whatever you are doing.  If you set it up right you get a massage and a nice fuck. 
You can meet them out but mostly in clubs you are just trolling for the uber drunk whores that won't remember a thing the next day.  Anything else and you have to deal with attitudes.
Married women, lots of stay at home moms who crave some cock during the day.
Finally, online sites, but this takes time and a LOT of trial and error.

Other than that, meeting a chick at a grocery store, library, church, wherever inevitably means she wants a relationship and that is just time I don't have

provided you can maintain a full head of hair or manage to gracefully go bald (skin tone, cranial shape etc)
