Title: 11% Bodyfat wtf???? What's good for the summer?
Post by: bigbalddaddy on July 05, 2006, 09:46:25 PM
What is everyone elses bodyfat normally in the summer time considering you are not doing a show.  I got mine today and I measured at 11% on a caliper.  I thought I would be less based off of all these people who claim to walk around in the single digits and I seem leaner!  I guess it's time to up the cardio and up the fat burners!!!

here's da deal. 13% or less is enough to make you appealing to any woman unless you've got a face like a baboons ass. Now if you're looking to impress jaded BB fans that are use to seeing jacked, ripped dudes at 210 and up, you gotta get down to around 9% or lower. But why would you want to impress them unless you're.... ;D

As for where  people "say" they are, talk is cheap. I hear a lot of people say they bench 400 and I rarely see ANBODY hit over 3 plates no matter what gym I work out in....

Good read bro!  I needed a little encouragement since I just want to look good for the ladies right now and was feeling like a fatty.  I'm not doing a show, just want to be able to show off a little if need be at a pool party or two.  I keep trying to post pics but it says my file is too large.  Is there a way to compress it or something?  I took photos on the smallest camera setting on my digital which is 1 meg.  Any ideas?

Get a program like ACDSee and resize them or optimize them.  Even at the lowest setting your digi cam pics are probably about 500-600kb
which is HUGE for something to be posted on the net.
