Cutting below 15% bf is stupid

I seriously don’t get why someone would make an effort to cut below 15% bf unless they body-build or play sports that require that level of leanness. I lol @ dudes that think that cutting to 10% will result in significant improvements in facial aesthetics when in reality it’s very subtle and most won’t really notice. Your face will look its best at 15% and you’ll feel stronger and better. Being leaner than that will look pathetic and weak for most guys when wearing a shirt.

Cliff:
Facial aesthetics will hardly change from 15%bf to 10%bf
Cutting to 8% is just pure masochism

If you don't naturally sit at a low bf level, then don't even bother. I've always been around 10% or lower.

Exactly. If you have to have constant battles against hunger pangs it’s not worth it.

bloatmax is master race

imagine being able to eat w/e u want, lift with record numbers, survive a famine, and dominate smaller men by just running at them

u just have to not be a fat sack of chit and train sprints to be more linebacker than couch potato

what you're talking about is 25% bf max which isn't "bloat".

you're thinking of Brian Shaw, but 'bloatmax' is Julius Maddox.

if you can see his dick without having to peer under his belly, he isn't bloat.

Considering you’re 270 now and 40+% body fat based on your avi you’re gonna have to put on a ton of muscle in your bulk to be 15% at 265.

And Bulking shouldn't be considered an option for fellas until you're around 9-10% bodyfat anyway

I'm 12% without trying. Currently doing a very minor cut to get to 10% and then trying to maintain that.
