Settle a debate please...bodyfat levels of pro bodybuilders.

[Standby]

The debate is someone walking on stage at under 3% AND staying at that same bf% for quite sometime following the comp.

ok as i said i was talking to some guys fouad abiad and his training partners and they told me all that hard work is to look good for one day. you have to eat which will blow you back up then another week of cardio can bring you back down. that is how these guys did the flex pro show then the arnold 2 weeks later

[Standby]

if they did, they must be Zyzz... I cant imagine the juice you'd need to be one to still add muscle mass while at that bodyfat

as kp said. being a bodybuilder especially a pro you cant walk around at that bf% without burning away your muscle there job is to gain muscle and get bigger not stay the same or lose

[amcon]

Agreed. I would never fight this cat anyway, KP. Wouldn't be fair, plus I don't fight for free. People pay me to protect them these days, so if I fight anyone there needs to be money involved. I so past this high school sh*t it aint even funny.

*****... im a body gaurd as well adn get paid to protect ppl as well - something i do on week ends , just so happens that this week they offered me good money to come and visit V

[BgMc31]

lol - that s funny you need money to settle thingsWhy would I fight for free? ? thats is fine - you are wrong to add me in to this discussion... you could have said the same thing minus my name!!! nothing i said stated that this is how all body buyilders do compititions all i said - was that is how these guys do it... and they are huge! huge!

and i have never had a prob with you before, i would rather make friends then make messes if 300 lbs fat Yep,spoken like a high school girl, calling me fat doesn't hurt my feelings, so save that petty shit, but yeah I'm fat and happy, and I'm a whole lot stronger than you, lol!guys ... so just understand my point... dont try making me look bad, or call me out cus that is how some body builders do it.Or else what? Oh yeah, you'll beat me up! LOL!!!!

No one was trying to make you look bad, Amcon. Stop being so sensitive.

[FireGuy]

To the original question. As someone who has personally attended well over 100 bodybuilding shows and probably seen 300 IFBB Pro's guest pose I can assure you there are not walking around anywhere near 5% bodyfat when not in precontest mode. I would say 75% of them are in the 8-12% range with some much fatter than that.

So you would leave your client who is paying you good money to get in a fight and possibly get severely injured, for free? Just to prove a point that you're a tough guy? Hmmmmmmmmm...ok.

[amcon]

"...Certified personal trainers will suggest to male bodybuilders that they aim for a body fat percentage between 2–4% by contest time... so just to state for the record and beat a dead horse, this is in the range i stated (4 is higher than i stated) but !!! it is possible and as i said before - only some ppl do this, and i stated a few of the ppl that do..."quote from a google search info found on wikipida

as for all body builders? NO! as every body builder? NO! just some some not all...

me and fire guy solved this problem boys fire guy has the experience and mine is knowledge from a pro that just did the flex pro and arnold

[amcon]

look the solution with this is simple... the thing that is being questioned here is this " can a person (the guy in refrence is not even a pro yet, his pic were posted and bgmc 31 agreed with the general bf and saw the pics, pics were take down - i dont have permis to post them) have 1 - 3 % body fat for extended periods of time ?- the answer has to be yes cuz i know two guys that are... and they are both freaking huge... huge!!!! 5 foot 5 225 lbs 3 % body fat or less... dont like it? dont think it is healthy? dont believe it cuz you didnt see it? tfb!!! i see these guys daily! they also have rediclously dark tans all year around !!! dont belive that either tfb!!!!

well the title here says pro bodybuilder and no! pro does this. your friends who the fvck knows we dont know anythign about them

[amcon]

one is a pro the other is soon to be... and since i know one pro who does - that means your wrong and at least one pro does... as i said before bcmg saw the guys pic and did not disagree with any thing i said, except that he could hold that low of a body fat...

he does and that is all that counts...

[BgMc31]

Guys, I did see the pic. The kid is ripped to shreds. Does he stay that way year around, according to Amcon, he does. I didn't think it was possible, that is why I wanted to ask you guys.

how is he getting his %? what kind of test? you think maybe they are more like 6 or 7% and just look ridiculously ripped?

[amcon]

i dont have his permish to post pics... and thus shouldnt when i see him tomorrow i will ask him if i can post them ... but i doubt he will say yes

lol its more of something ppl say when im hammer. i got a different personality.

im not doubting you man maybe some people are just able to be like this and maybe it means more to him to look like a competitor during the whole summer rather then his health hell if i know either way im mirin

[Bojangles69]

Thats a very convenient excuse for you right now. I wasn't expecting pics before I even got to your answer.
According to fireguy and what I know about life in general I think you're wrong. Not because its impossible no. But I don't understand the logic of WHY someone would want to be "1%" (that was one of the numbers you used right?) for an entire summer. If Im misunderstanding something let me know.
Its not that I believe its impossible, I believe its VERY VERY unlikely, and this person who told you this was likely FOS.

If you can't prove they were 1%, then you're only left with an opinion. Same way I am. And thats all this thread really is anyway is opinions. But it makes no rational sense like I said WHY someone would even wanna go that low. Takes a lot of damn work, you'd likely feel terrible and not even enjoy your summer, when at least 4-8% you still look pretty damn good, basically the same to any non bodybuilder, so if you're not competing, wheres the logic?

I think you were had. I don't buy it.

[stevey_6t9]

strong hate in this thread, we need zyzz.

[drdeath613]

i think it depends on the bodybuilder



i think lee priest at his prime said something about being 4% bf and he holds it like that for as short as he can but then again he a old school bulk builder

Ninja cat was going to kick all y'all asses

Ditto KP... Sometimes it doesnt take much to start a family feud in here. Sometimes its just a simple pic that sets someone off. Where is Rodny King when we need him.

well it is good to see you have not cahnged bogangles - or is your name boon doggle - all twisted up and tense! i posted his pic for some to see but didnt have permish to post dso i took it down,,, mr. bgmc did see it and agreed how ripped and the bf numbers would be in the range i stated 1-3% the question is could he or others hold that for a period of time ... not was it wise? or how they felt?

and wether you were expecting pics or not, i did post just for a few min to show his body style... very very very impressive...

you think im wrong "...cuz you dont think it is impossible ..." (what???) look wether you like his thought proccess or not that is what these guys do.

you think im wrong cuz "...cus it makes no rational sense..." is that your op? cuz your confusing me about your op is the bench mark?

mabey he just wants to be a freak? why do guys go to the gym and look like fat slobs? why waste your time? why do you lift if yor not in good shape?

[Twist]

Somebody please find me a pic of ANY bodybuilder in the 1-3% range. I can't find one. Not only that but that guy in the vid (Foud or something) is not at 3.8%. Can't even see his (huge) obliques, which would stand out without flexing at all. At 5% there are veins EVERYWHERE. I mean you look like you got caught in a huge spider web. Especially with pro muscle. I'm sure someone has gotten down to 1-3 like amcon says, I just can't find the pic.
