Is being super lean overrated?

I just always feel better at slightly higher body fat like 12-13% compared to lower even though I look so much better lower

Is being sub 12% overrated as a natural?

BRB low T
BRB low energy
BRB fatigue

IMO Being under 15% is unhealthy, sure guys do this or lower for competition but this is an illusion. They are dehydrated and at their weakest. When they feel healthy and powerful they look at their worst, normally during a bulk. It is a bad representation of what the male body "should" look like... I much prefer the look of bear mode physique.

Yes

It is easier to perform with less weight.

Bad idea overall.

Thing is, gotta let your face dictate how lean you can be. If you look your best at 10% bf, be 10%. Whatever body you have at your ideal face will be good

Yeah I've gotten lean before. I feel a Lot better in the 15% range compared to 10%. Preform better in the gym too. When I was single I could get must as many sloots at 15-17% as I could at 10%.
