What is it like to live with 10% body fat compared to when I was at 6% ☠️

After spending a WHOLE YEAR being fat since I may have enjoyed food a little bit too much after my bodybuilding competition, we are FINALLY back to looking like a fitness influencer again (yay). 

We’re currently estimating to be around 10% body fat right now. I look good and feel good albeit a little bit hungry and peckish, but it’s very manageable and sustainable still.

If you’re looking for a body fat level that is sustainable all year round, then this would be around that. Some individuals could push and sustain a single digit body fat, and some people will hover more around 12-15% more comfortably. 

But despite what you see on social media, very little people are walking around leaner than this all year round without severe side affects like the video I made when I was “living with 6% body fat”. 

You may be wondering why I don’t just stay at this body composition forever? 
If I don’t plan on competing and I’m 100% happy with my physique, sure. 

But I do plan to compete in the far future one more time and there’s always room for improvement. 

So as my calories increase and I spill over from time to time while enjoying my time off occasionally, my body fat will inevitably increase. But I just stick to the plan so that I can still build as much muscle as possible so that I can be bigger and leaner each time I end up back here at my baseline. 

If you’d like to know how to do that, my new DIY alternate coaching program will teach you exactly that - how to get down to 10% body fat so that you can properly lean bulk to build muscle. 

Doors close tomorrow (11 April), so don’t miss out ☺️
