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
~AR's Nice Guy
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
~AR's Nice Guy
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

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.

physical pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside... The pain of quiting will lasts forever!!
keep them coming knock out...

"...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...

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

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...

your too nice of a guy no one wants to kick your ass - prob just kiss it
~AR's Nice Guy
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

the picture was from a moth ago... and he has pics monthly of his body fat... these guys keep this low body fat all summer and dont go above 10 in the winter...
~AR's Nice Guy
how is he getting his %? what kind of test? you think maybe they are more like 6 or 7% and just look ridiculously ripped?
physical pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside... The pain of quiting will lasts forever!!
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

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.

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

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.

"AR's Personal Trainer"
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.

i believe i was a part of the thread this all started from, and was called a silly child for callin BS.
Its ok me and superman are good friends too, Me him and the incredible hulk were having a wrestlting match with santa claus and the tooth fairy, while Arnold was the referee. Then my girlfriend Jamie Presley showed up and told me we had to leave cause it was time to have dinner with the president.
Don't worry i believe you
~AR's Nice Guy
whoa your gf Jamie Presley? i hope this wasnt in the last 3 months cause thats when i started banging her

@amcon
Yes my name is boon doggle you must be psychic.
Why can't you just be real with us and tell us "I'm FOS and I don't want to try proving anything"?
Here I'll show you a magic trick. Theres something called miscrosoft windows xp. In it you will find a rare program known as "mspaint", open it, black out the face, save as a jpeg, then repost it. Then you don't have to worry about your friend suing you over a picture.
As far as the "impossible/possible" arguement thats not what I'm arguing. I'm sure some people can jump off an 8 story building and live. I think I actually read a story about a crackhead doing it once and he just broke both his legs and didn't die. Same way I'm sure its possible someone can maintain
1% bodyfat for an "extended" amount of time. I still think its VERY VERY EXTREMELY unlikely. So unlikely in fact, that the first 10 people who ever claimed to know someone to do it, would likely be lying about it. And I think 10 is a conservative estimate. Its prob closer to 20. But what you're telling me, is the first person I'm ever hearing to make this claim, is just so happening to not be FOS?
I mean that would be a cool story to make up and go around telling people on this forum.. quite like the crackhead story. And guys lie SO MUCH about random shit as long as it'll make them sound cooler than they really are (even your friend). But hey maybe theres some people out there also maintaining at .25%? Why stop at 1%? Seriously man ITS POSSIBLE!! My friend told me he did it for 6 years straight... you want a pic? lol

LMAO,
Heres a copy and paste from the thread i was called a silly child

o silly little child... you have no idea what you are talking about... body builders using and at the olympia level are hitting the stage at 1 - 3 %
and yes im not saying it is my choice or my recomendations to carry that little body fat for as long as they do but ... these guys do! like it or not ...
and because i dont have permish to use there pics and even talk about them i will say as far as i know they are pros who i have no idea on there diet and sups and such - i know nothing of what they take in reguards to protiens or aminos...
