How To Get Really Low Body Fat?

What would be the most important tips you would give someone who wanted to reach the body fat near 5%?

**Built** · 08-26-2010, 12:23 AM

Get an iron grip on your diet, leave yourself enough time to get there slowly, diet off the weight and use lifting to protect the muscle... oh, and 5%? Make sure you're male.

Current regimen regarding diet, training, cardio, rest, and patience.

gears may or may not help

Oh yes, and of course gear. Won't help unless you run a deficit, though.

**anthonynelson** · 08-30-2010, 05:10 AM

then what is the ideal % of fat should be in the body?

Enough protein, heavy weight training and a deficit = low body fat

This varies per person. Unfortunately it has nothing to do with what's currently accepted in your particular social circle.

The only way to find out is to eat the best diet possible and track your intake.

for the most part getting to a new low amount of body fat takes some work. the human body fights to retain fat stores for fear of future famine, etc. that being the case the time and dieting/training techniques used to get to 5% is different for a person at 8% than another at 20%. also the longer a person has been "fat" the harder their body will fight to remain fat.

**vortrit** · 08-30-2010, 05:57 PM

Diet is the key, of course.

5% is increadably low. I think the lowest I've ever been was 7%, and I was pretty cut.

**unclem** · 08-30-2010, 07:22 PM

if u want to get cut good and your willing to use it use kynoselen, l-carnitine or amp5 but kynoselen really helps. i use it alot. thats wat iam shooting for 5% thats cut at 235- 240. but good luck brother.

**cobalt** · 09-01-2010, 05:01 AM

Getting there could be easier than STAYING there....

Either way it'll take patience I reckon. 5% is a low bodyfat for sure.

**paolo584** · 09-02-2010, 06:06 AM

damn! unclem you must be a big dude. you going to look crazy big at 235 5%bf.

Diet, diet, diet... and diet.
