    There's about a 99% chance you'll never be there. And I only give you a 1% chance because its not impossible. It's just not possible lol

    So if it is a process, is there ever a point where you look in the mirror and think "I'm finally ripped?"

    15% bf or less = ripped

    any sign of abs = not fat

    Honestly, and I know this is intended for newbies, but...

    For me, the leanest I've ever been was just a hair under 10% (I've been leaner, but that was me being a skinny kid that didn't train). I have a tough time getting there today. But I also didn't have as much lean mass back then. I'd say my favorite "Look" was 215 lbs at 10.5%. So realistically, I've never considered myself ripped. Probably because I'm never really satisfied.
