    BF% thoughts.

    "On the other end, 15% is usually about the point at which all of your abs have taken a hike and you are looking pretty filled out. 18-20% would cause most smaller people to pass for "chubby" and more muscular people to get described as "stocky".

    "Everyone carries weight differently, however, as I had one frat brother who taped out at over 16% body fat, but every ab was visible and there is no way anyone would have guessed him at more than 10%. That is why the number means so little. It doesn't matter if you tape out at 10% body fat...if you have no muscle and it just doesn't look good. The number means shit for most people. They are better off going by the mirror."



    Do you agree with this ? I find this to be true with me. I accumeasure at about 15-17% body fat, but I can still see my abs. I always gave the percentage more credit than it is worth.

    Maybe it's just my conservative agenda, but you should really stop seeing your dick. There are just so many women out there!

    I think you should put on as much B/F as possible. Muscle will follow

    That's my plan, get a little chunkier so my legs are always getting a workout. Then when I strip it all down it looks like I did 1000 squats a day.
    Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
    not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
    and drag down the features of age,
    no folds or creases from unkempt wear
    eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
    no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
    but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

    Take body fat calipers with you where ever you go then you can prove to everyone you are not fat.
    I highly recommend all IronMagLabs supplements!
