It’s actually pretty easy to maintain that. I’m 32 now and have had the same body more or less since I was 18

>>510484925 (OP)
i usually get down to around 12% in the summer when I am cutting and doing more outdoor activities. I find it hard to maintain long term because:
- start to feel weak in the gym
- start to feel small
- get tired of restricting calories / eating clean 98% of the time

My body likes around 15% when I'm eating more intuitively. I usually will go to the upper teens on bulk in the winter.

desu girlfriends have usually preferred a bit fluffier 15-18% look. Saying that I looked bigger and that at more shredded BF i look too "hard" or freaky. but i dont lift for women so i will continue to shred in the summer

>>510484925 (OP)
I am 10% bf due to pancreatitis, good diet and daily exercise. Pancreatitis is a bitch but pancreas friendly diet and exercise prevents skeleton mode.

Because food tastes good and I'm old enough to be beyond giving too much of a fuck. I'm heavier than I'd like to be, but I'm not a lardass. If you wanna fight about it, I'll get my mobility cart and we can joust it out.

I like drinking and that's where basically all of my excess calories come from. I'm turning things around however and lift weights now. Added 2 inches to my upper arms in the last year. No I don't measure anything else, upper arms are the only thing that matters.

The only reason every man isn't at least a bit overweight is women.
Only fags care about their own weight.
Every single married man has a wife nagging him when he gains some weight and limits his eating to be thin and shut her up.
Some are Chad enough to ignore them, but most will cuck out and obey.
A healthy belly is a sign of an Alfa Chad who does not bow to females.

I'm at 25% but I'm bulking. 5'11" went from 180lbs to 215lbs in the last two years. I'm gonna start cutting soon once I reach my strength goals. Try to get down to 15% or under 200lbs.

>I'm at 25% but I'm bulking
retard. You now have to burn so much fat you're going to fuck any muscle gains you had. You're supposed to cut to 10% then bulk to a max of like 16%. You're literally going to have to stay fat or start over KEK

>>510484925 (OP)
>What is your excuse to not be around 10-12% bodyfat?
I am. It's not really realistic to stay like this year round though, especially if you expect to make gains. I'm 3.5 weeks away from finishing a cut and I can't wait to be done with it, go on vacation, and bulk for another year.

>>510485851
>desu girlfriends have usually preferred a bit fluffier 15-18% look.
This is where you're healthiest too. It's nice to get a bit leaner for the beach during summer and more importantly to clear runway for a bulk back up to 20%.

>>510485885
Ewwww disgusting brown subhuman

>>510484925 (OP)
I love eating, and being fat.

>>510487827

Nah I read if you cut slowly with a small calorie deficit and keep lifting you can preserve most of your muscle.

Also I didn't measure it but when I started I was probably around 20~25% anyway. I wasn't shredded

>>510488175
why would you start a bulk at 20% bf, anon? This defies all logic

>>510484925 (OP)
My abs look that way, but I’m fat.

Once I finish loading up on dairy to heal an injury, I can diet.

>>510487827
>You now have to burn so much fat you're going to fuck any muscle gains you had.
Muscle loss is a meme unless you're in an insane deficit or going below 10%.

>You're supposed to cut to 10% then bulk to a max of like 16%.
10% is pretty low and the maximum you should as a non-competitor or influencer. Even 12% is great, then bulk to 18-20%. Not like anyone gets these numbers measured accurately anyway though. Cut until your abs are diced and then bulk until just before they're gone and try to time that to take 8-12 months.

>>510484925 (OP)
I used to be 10-12% just subsiding on meat, because it's carbs that make u fat. There's nothing wrong with fat though if you are fit.

>>510488297
>Muscle loss is a meme unless you're in an insane deficit or going below 10%.
I suppose this is true, but if you get too fat your test will diminish, same as being too lean as a natural lifter. Anon should go right into a deficit NOW and keep lifting for strength and muscle mass to recomp. I just don't understand why anyone would start a bulk at 20% bodyfat. That makes no sense to me

>>510484925 (OP)
not a faggot

>>510485091
that's extremely difficult

>>510488473
>I just don't understand why anyone would start a bulk at 20% bodyfat. That makes no sense to me
May as well get your beginner gains I guess? But yeah at 25% you may as well start cutting. He can probably keep making gains as he recomps his way down anyway.

>>510485851
>desu girlfriends have usually preferred a bit fluffier 15-18% look.
this is due to insecurity on their part. I've had girlfriends try to make me fat and stop me from going to the gym. Women are retarded

Stop being poor, you work out much better and deal better with random problems that pop up when you do what a physiotherapist tells you to. I do things that I would never do on my own and that's a good thing.

>>510488677
>I found it helped recovery a lot
yes, anon, this is called protein synthesis KEK. Protein repairs your muscles, testosterone allows you to synthesize protein. More test = more protein synthesis = faster gains and faster recovery. Keep eating lots of protein (your bodyweight is a good metric just to be sure, but I think its closer to "lean body mass weight).

>>510488610
This. They get insecure that other women might find you attractive. By the same token, as soon as you get fat they themselves will loose interest. Either way will be a battle but you may as well fight to keep what you worked for with the added bonus of getting her all riled up.

>>510488824

I just wanted to get to 2pl8 bench 3pl8 squat. It was an arbitrary goal that I set for myself.

Now that I've reached it I'm gonna do it for a few more weeks until it feels easier, maybe add a couple reps, then start cutting.

only woman use personal trainers and it's only because they want to fuck

>>510489774
>Reminder that women generally prefer 15 - 25% body fat
then why are the men on every smut book cover in the 7-10% range? Also, attracting respect and admiration from other men gets you interest from women as well, its called social status. You don't think women would be intrigued by you if other men are constantly admiring you, asking you what your workout program is etc?

>>510489077
Ok, boomer.

You called me poor because I don't need a personal trainer. I said my salary dwarfed yours in my early 20s, not that I am in my early 20s still. I am early 30s. I have no joint pain anywhere of any kind. Cope more.

>>510489570
Totally valid. I personally recommend not slashing calories too low and adding some zone 2 cardio like walks or biking 5x a week. Maybe hiking or the pool with some friends too.

>>510484925 (OP)
8% is essential for organ health, anything less has to be temporary for athletic competition. Anything sub 20% is healthy in terms of body composition. These pictures are also underestimated.

I am a fatmax prepper. The best way to store calories for hard times is body fat, as it is 100% natural, goes wherever you go, not very practical for others to steal, and never goes bad so long as you are alive. I would consider myself grossly irresponsible if I only had 10-12% body fat.

>>510490189
>8% is essential for organ health

Then you're saying this is essential for organ health? This isn't healthy year round. Your hormone level are gonna be in the shitter. Anything 10-20% is going to be healthiest depending on the person.

>>510490390
That's a bit low, but yes 8% is considered organ essential for men and 10% is for women. I said ORGAN essential, you need a bit more for general health and periods of short fasting that occur from living. Someone in that kind of shape is eating twice what I do to weigh probably 30% less. I did say anything sub 20% is healthy composition wise and sub 8% is temporary for athletic competition, now didn't I?

If you want to lose weight while maintaining muscle, you literally need to change your entire life. Reason being, you need to track - and weigh - everything you eat to ensure you’re operating at a deficit. If you’re not doing that now, you aren’t doing it right.
>inb4: oh yeah, well I’m at zero percent body fat and all I do is eat pretzels and fuck bitches!
No you aren’t and no you don’t. I can tell just by the way anons are responding itt, they don’t track and weigh their food. They lack the discipline to do it with any consistency and would rather eat hot pockets/drink mountain dew.

>Only literal faggots care about how fat another man is.
I see way more men caring about the heights of other men than even women do. Also you have your shit all backwards. Women need a higher bodyfat percentage than men. It is unhealthy for a woman to sustain <20% bf and its unhealthy for a man to maintain <10%. A man should ideally be 12-15% and a woman should be 20-25%

You only need like 20-30 minutes of working out a day (none of that excessively long breaks shit) and proper portion control in your diet to get results. Especially if you take the supersets approach to cut down on rest time. You can absolutely get by on a mixture of only dumbells and calisthenics (especially calisthenics for fatties who are their own lifting weight) at home. Notably if you're just trying to stay or get healthy.
Gyms are a scam for the average person who has time constraints.

This. There's a reason bodybuilders drop for competitions then immediately get back up to ~10%+ bodyweight after. They know it's too dangerous to stay low for too long.

Not saying You should be a blimp. You need around 12-15% minimum from what I've read. the US Navy states Athletic body types at around 15%.

I'm at ~22%. I've been on a strict diet the past week and plan to drop as much as I can
