lowest bodyfat% that is healthy and can be maintained year round?
« on: September 25, 2007, 11:03:41 AM »
just wondering what is the lowest bodyfat percentage that can be maintained year round that is both healthy and looks great?

 i guess there is the difference also if your a pro or top npc competitor whose are special supplements year round or your the natural competitor? anyway, any thoughts?

being that the top pros and amateurs are roughly during competitions around 3 to 4 percent, then what are their bodyfat % the rest of the year? do they care? which pro keeps the lowest bodyfat % year round? i'm guessing the aesthetic, small waisted guys are the best best to keep not only their bodyfat down but their weight as well down throughout the year. unfortunately, cutler when he's not around competing time 2 months before and 2 months after the rest of the year looks like an overweight, somewhat doughey football player in baggy clothes.

I think it can be quite a bit lower and still be in good health.  Flex looked fairly healthy even when his bodyfat was measured at 0.00 %.

It varies by individual according to your genetics.  However, unless you're a freak, any number lower than 8 probably isn't sustainable for long periods of time.
