Only if you keep cutting even though there's no more fat on your body, does your face start to sink in.

Fluctuate between 12-14 and eat whatever the fuk you want and enjoy yourself.

There should never be any reason that you go above 10% regardless of age (unless you're 65+). Your diet and training is sub-optimal if this happens and you'll need to re-assess ASAP

Don't really have wrinkles though, but I've never been down to 10% bf so not sure what would happen if I did. My skin is pretty good, even with all the heavy drinking I've done.

14% for somebody with good muscle size is lean as fuk. Visible abs, clear muscle separation, etc.
"The flowers bloom, then wither... The stars shine and one day become extinct. This earth, the sun, the galaxies and even the big universe, someday will be destroyed. Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."

Sub 10 percent natty?
12-13 seems pretty reasonable for a natural as you still have abs. Lower than 10% and most people would look too small lol

You say that chit now but when you get 35 and start looking ghoulish at 10% you'll be singing a different tune. Also I think we haveverydifferent ideas of what 10% actually looks like. I've lost an additional 5 lbs since my avi. What do you think my bf% is in it?

You get a lot of wrinkles when your body fat is low. I even got that at age 28.

10% generally means the lower abs are visible and there is very clear separation in the arms. 10% on one person wont the look same as the next person though of course, since everyone holds fat differently. It's hard to tell in your avi pic but I'd estimate 13-14%
