    Has alot to do with ones genetics but for sure most men could maintain 6% if they where reallllly on point with diet.

    I got down to 3% for a natural contest once, but would NEVER try to keep that year round.
    I think 6 is a good average, anything between 6-10 is low

    remember the body does need some fat

    When you reach a Certain Bodyfat, It is good to Maintain That bodyfat for 3-6 Months and not try to Raise Calories.

    This will Help your Skin "Tight Up" againts your body and Even achieve a leaner Physique.

    Lowest Body fat you can achieve NATURALLY AND MAINTAIN is 6% BODYFAT(REAL 6% ON A 9 POINT CALIPER TEST) not some Bullshit Electronic machine.

    With gear you can get a little lower maybe 4-5, you cannot Really maintain Anything Lower Than 6%.

    Just so you know 6% Bodyfat Is Extremely Lean, In society most people are over 20%.

    6% you got veins in your AbS, Legs(quads),veins are poppping everywhere.

    10% would be most advisable (off season, no roids)

    at 6%, although you can pull it off, you'd be too busy maintaining it to have room for bulking or just enjoying life in general ...

    also, the more LBM you have, the less BF% you can maintain all-yr round simply because the same amount of fat on a very muscular person is less % of overall mass than someone who has less LBM.. simple logic

    naturally i'd think that 7-8% is only reasonable. Like stated, genetics is going to be the main factor.

    I think alot of people can only reach 9-10 naturally while maintaining a decent/healthy diet.

    I use to be between 4-6% BF for most of my adult life. Couldnt gain an ounce of fat to save my life. But two shoulder surguries and two broken legs one right after another put and end to all that. I was all natural at that point in my life.

    8-9% Is very good bro.

    Try to Never get over 10%.

    When you get too fat, Problems start to appear.Hormonal imbalance, testosterone drop, etc...

    Never getting over 10% That's a hard statement right there.
    I think that mainly peoples with genetics to stay really lean year around could maintain 10%. The rest would never be able to put on musclemass (me for example).

    Everybody is different, some bodies actually thrive at 15% fat, while for others 8% are perfect.

    Dont tough guy me over the internet. I mean we can do this logically, your 255lbs at 30 something % BF. I mean lets just say you got lean. I mean shit if your 35% fat at 255 and you got down to say 8% training for the big brawl that would put you at about 185lbs. Now Im no bookie, But if I was going to place a bet it would be on the guy at 220lbs at 8% not the guy 185 @ 8%. That being said it looks like you have been working out hard and I know that being the biggest guy at Curves can make you start to think your ONE BAD MOFO but rest assured it wouldnt pan out the way you think. Keep up the good work. If you showed up in shape you wouldnt have a shot what makes you think showing up with tittes is going to help you

    Fighting has nothing, and I mean nothing to do with your bf%

    Ever heard of tank abbot? Cabbage? Don't let the mirror talk you into being a bad ass.

    "buff and stuff" doesn't mean you can throw down.

    I got my money on ggalin with the raw power over the raw muzzlezz

    I think it's funny, about 2 months ago one of the bigger guys that goes to my gym walks in with his mouth and eye swole up.

    I guarantee it was someone half his size or someone not "in shape" that put his ego in the shitter. It's usually the cocky ones that wake up asking what happened.

    First off that wasnt directed at you, secondly I was joking. The whole thing was people just poking fun, no one got serious about it but you. I didnt have to pay anyone to back me up the dude could prob just see you were being a D bag about the whole thing. I got no prob with anyone, I am not mr tuff guy by any means. Most people I know "In the real world" get along with me great. Hell I have not been in a fight in over 6 years lol. I can scrap but talking "Real" smack on the internet is not my style. We could spout back and forth all day about who could beat up who and blah blah blah and it will never go anywhere. I dont plan on driving from ohio to Ny or vice versa realisticly. You might take me I might take you it doesnt matter, and being the tough talker doesnt really prove a darn thing. So lets get over all this silly internet tuff guy nonsense and get along shall we
