sounds difficult, how are you doing it? what is your diet like, if you don't mind my asking?

Not me, personally. One of my co-workers has been working for it since I've been here. He's insanely small though so I don't know how easy it's been for him. The majority of his weight is muscle.

My boyfriend is bigger - his weight comes from his muscles though. His body fat I believe is around 16-17%.

10% is some serious work, both in diet and working out.

the hardest part is keeping your current muscle. eat smart and clean, keep lifting heavy weights and keep your cardio reasonable. one of the biggest mistakes you can make when cutting down and trying to keep muscle is to overdo your cardio. going all out on cardio will burn muscle off. i'd say the second mistake is cutting too many calories so don't starve yourself. use things like caffeine and other supplements to keep your metabolism in high gear. don't rush it and you should keep most of your muscle and what little is lost you can gain back easily once you hit your target body fat%.

i still have 3 more weeks of hypertrophy training --- doing 4 days a week with a upper/lower split

maintenance calories for me is 3,600 calories a day right now .. i am at 220 with 18.5% bodyfat


but i am going to do some prep-dieting between now and the start of a 3 month cut


so for the next 3 weeks - i will cut out refined sugars - drop down to a 3,000 - 3,200 calorie diet


when i start my cut in mid-april i will drop down to 2,800 calories and do a 40/30/30 macro (40% of my calories from protein, 30% of my calories from carbs that are high in fiber, and 30% of my calories from fat)

after that -- i will have to recalculate my base metabolic rate weekly and shoot for a 1,000 calorie per day deficit using the same macros

no cardio for me right now -- but when i start my cut, weight lifting will probably be a 3 day split with 4 days of light cardio


3 days split will probably be push/pull/legs with 3 sets of 8 using heavy weights

4 days of light cardio will probably be 30 minutes on the eliptical

that should push my BMR+activity maintenance calories to 4,000

I've never tried to get my bodyfat % that low, but that's a really really low percentage for a woman, even an Olympic athelete. Ideal range is generally considered to be 15%-25%. I wouldn't mind getting down to 20%, that's for sure!

I was around 12% in my early twenties and that took more work than the visual benefits were worth (imo).


I went up to around 16% and felt better and had more time on my hands.

I have a friend that was around 12-14% (maybe less), however he was training to be a boxer and was a cardio machine. He was also a pretty good amateur boxer, but unfortunately it never went anywhere.

I'm 6'3" and I have weighed anywhere from 144 to 154 over the last twenty years. Yeah, I'm under 10% I'm sure although I've never been officially tested.

I'm hella skinny and I eat whatever I want.

In the early 2000's I was about 8% at 195lbs and 6'1" tall which made me huge and ripped. I could of been on the cover of a men's magazine easily.  It was the hardest thing I had done ever and I have no desire to do that again.   Good luck.

does your weight really jump around in a 20lbs range? can't be healthy if it does tongue




It depends on how much beer i drink 3 or less per night ill drop weight pretty fast 6 or more per night ill hold close to the 170 mark

gave up beer for three months and lost almost 40 pounds

Edit: im not sure why my weight changes so much solely from the beer intake.
