Competition Bodyfat Levels

FLEXR6 · 09-03-2008, 03:04 AM

What's the lowest bodyfat that a competitive natural male bodybuilder could expect to get to??
I'd be interested if you have heard any figures or if anyone on here has reached an extremely low level.

Some claim 3% buty it's just IMPOSSIBLE. We all have essential bodyfat in our body and for men it ranges between 5-9% so... When are between 9-13%. So a male competitor under 5% would be ... dead !
Those who claim 3% have not been measured exactly enough simply because it's actually very hard to measure the % of essential bodyfat.
As far as I can remeber once Muntzer claimed he was 3%...
Someone measured 5-6% including essential fat would be ripped to the bones !
BTW there are lots of reading about bodyfat natire and bodyfat metabolism so it's easy to learn about essential bodyfat.
