What is your favorite bodyfat% to live with year round?

[animal eater]

Like the title reads, if you had to pick a bodyfat percent to cruise around in day in day out, where would it sit? Sure, stage ready is fun to look at but in reality nobody here would want to maintain that year round. Where do you find YOUR sweetspot where you look good, perform well and don't have to absolutely kill yourself diet wise? For me it would likely be about 10-12%. At this range, I still look strong and athletic and don't have the need to count or limit every last calorie. What about you?

I go at it based off the mirror

If certain muscles are separated and abs are visible, probably doing ok

I like sitting between 9-11%. I can have a beer or two every night, I don’t need to diet TOO hard, but I crush my workouts to earn that flexibility.

I sit around 15% off season when I'm not cycling or getting ready for a show. I just dont care enough to have abs during the off season, and it's kind of a pain in the ass to maintain anyway. I like food (and beer) too much to worry about it unless I'm competing.
