Is contest prep really that hard? Or do people just exaggerate it to make it seem more bad ass?

How many times have you cut to single digit body fat?
Better yet, have you ever even been under 40% body fat? I bet you haven't.

>>76269464
High body fat is peak performance

>>76269452 (OP)
getting to single digit bodyfat is indeed very hard and frustrating because it takes fucking ages

>>76269464
been at about 17^+%

>>76269482
So its too hard for you to just not be fat and you're asking if its really hard to get to 3%?

That’s what sarms are for

I got to contest territory a couple of summers ago, as a small "contest" with my friends at the gym and I maintained for the summer. It wasn't too hard getting there (keep lifting but don't eat very much, only protein) but maintaining it (i.e. never eating) was very difficult.

Imagine dating the girl on the right who spends hours a week prioritizing her health and fitness only to cheat on her with the semen demon soft titcow on the left. Titcows will always be superior

I get your scenario but they are both so ugly that the tit mog barely makes a difference, like you'd be cheating on your 3/10 girl with a 3.1/10 woman

Not him, but twice, wasn't nearly as hard as people claim on here. Then I got Hashimoto's. Now I can still cut, but the look just isn't the same anymore.

Not really compared to being an actual athlete. A lot of these people never played any sports, and never played a sport where they had a tight fit into a weight class. NFL will start taking %s of your paychecks each week you can't make weight for your position.

Each percent is harder than the last and it ramps up exponentially. Going from 10 to 9 is harder than going from 17 to 10.

I've broken up with a girl who was a model but had the ugliest pepperoni nipples on a flat chest. I just couldn't do it and broke up with her.
Boobs matter.
