Yes, barely.
I’ll spare you the pic with surgery incisions, drains, knife, burn marks and a bullet wound though.
There’s a reason I will never ever be on stage no matter how ripped and shredded I get.
I agree 100%. And I thank and respect you for the honesty and encouragement.
AwesomeI agree 100%. And I thank and respect you for the honesty and encouragement.
Shit bro I gotta disagree on here, 15 percent is pretty fat.. building muscle is one thing but I think the easiest thing any man can do to improve his appearance is to be lean.....it doesn't even require effort just a decent diet and to be active...then you have aas that makes it easier. Do carnivore get 10k steps Ed...you'll never sniff 15 percent I'd say even 10.Shit, another realization that popped in my head- the definitions and comparisons we’re talking about are waaaaaay different and I should realize that- to me, being somewhat muscular and 15% or less BF is pretty lean and good enough , because that’s probably better than like 90%of the population. So to me as just a gymbro, that’s decent, and I look and feel better than probably 95% of people I run into daily.
But on a bodybuilding forum where true competitive bodybuilders trade info, compare where they are in prep with each other etc? That’s a whole other world of expectations and far harsher requirements and demands!
Not a huge surprise, but definitely a factor mentally for me at least. Gotta keep that frame of reference in mind.
You are not 8% bfNope. That’s not it at all.
I know I’m 8-10% body fat objectively- but the moment I vaguely think I’m losing definition, it causes dread and anxiety.
It’s that simple. And I’m still progressing on my lifts and building the base.
you are 160lbs. You keep claiming 260 and there’s not one picture of you in here .
No one will judge you for marks/injuries broYes, barely.
I’ll spare you the pic with surgery incisions, drains, knife, burn marks and a bullet wound though.
There’s a reason I will never ever be on stage no matter how ripped and shredded I get. And I’m ok with this!
Nope, not anymore. Guessing 12-13 as I sit today.
I thought those would count against your score in a bodybuilding show? I mean, I don’t know, I’m new to understanding the mechanics and judging etc.
Correct. If you want an accurate assessment of leanness from other members, tank top pictures aren’t going to do much.
I’d say johns been doing well for a while now haha
