How to get to 4% bodyfat.

Good thread

Really reinstates the idea of extreme low body fat not being achievable without a whole lot of pain & suffering



So, from what I am reading here & have learned so far is that the lowest "semi normally" achievable Bf% is right about 8% < give or take 1%

Any body fat is achievable, it just depends on how much you want to push it. And sure, the more you push it the suckier it gets. And this is just my personal opinion, but I think people throw terms like "8%" and "normal" around far more than they should...I'd go as far as to say they throw phrases "calculating nutrition" around way too much. Some people, even if starting from the same body fat percentage are going to have a much harder time getting to 8% than others, and those same people are going to have to struggle more to get even lower. In either case though it's doable, you just have to find the right path that works for you.

I agree - I say it pretty much from my experience directed towards myself. But, also as the bigger majority of guys into fitness can reach those numbers. Yet, there is no standards- it's all on what we do with ourselves and how our bodies respond to it.

But, for sure - there is "normal" in anything bodybuilding related. Everyone is different & they're aren't even any direct comparisons.
