It's crazy how much respect you get at -12bf

I'm usally at 15%+ and think I'm 12% but now in really 12 or under and people are so fuking polite, almost like "yes sir" girls whisper to each other when they see you. Life becomes better.

You can't tell a difference between 15%+ and 12% when wearing clothes.
If you have a decent amount of muscle people will notice even when you have a shirt on.

Eh I'd say only if you are at least 185 lb+ (assuming you are around 6'0 tall). No sloot miring 6'0 150 lb twink at 12% bodyfat.

I'm 5'11 178-180lbs
I think I can get away with going to 168-170lbs and still look athletic

If you're 6'+ with 23"+ shoulders you can get respect regardless of your bodyfat.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

based

Also its depends on your body. I have a swimmers build so I look way better at 15-16% than I do at 10-12%. I get sunken cheeks and my veins cross the line from aesthetic to scary crackhead at low bodyfat. 15% and I still have good definition and my face looks way younger and muscles are more full.

people often overestimate their muscle andseverelyunderestimate their fat, if you keep being delusional i'll start negging your dumb ass srs
Lmao even if what you are saying is true, I'm carrying infinitely more muscle than your twink ass.

Here's me at 6'0 and ~200 lbs when I was lifting ~4 days a week.

Post your height and weight and your pic. Let's see.

Oh, and I also posted my shirtless pic at least 5 times and many miscers commented on it (including kimm who thought I had around 13~14% bodyfat at 195 lbs). So you can go fist yourself

Physique is the same as money. When you first become rich you are ecstatic, but then after a while, you just get used to it.

I will have to say that is kinda true tho
Especially if you're in Mexico where girls don't care about high bodyfat as much. Was mogging at 26%

I’m glad to hear that you are happy with your body fat percentage. However, I hope you are also taking care of your health and nutrition.

The difference between 15+ bodyfat and <10% is easily visable to sloots. Biceps triceps are way more defined and most people under <10% are vascular af. Also sloots will notice the small waist and wider delts.

Yeah I'd say at 5'9-5'11 you can look pretty solid at 170lbs+. Not intimidating or anything but people will notice you workout and possibly get some of the reactions you mentioned. Misc is always exaggerating this kind of stuff. We're talking about general population not lifters.
Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

If you are holding any muscle mass sub 12% its a decision to become that lean that requires dedication that others pick up on.

Depends. When I was 15-17% at 225lbs-230lbs I had instant respect everywhere from chicks and guys. I have very broad shoulders naturally too so it makes me look bigger and people probably thought I was a bouncer or jacked skinhead.

The lower bf% I still get respect, but it's different. Not sure how to explain it.

Really just depends.

There's looking good with your shirt on and looking good with your shirt off - they are two different things.

I would look better with my shirt on if I was 10lbs heavier, but I'd rather have a six pack, so that when the shirt comes off it's like revealing artwork.

Strong this. There's a significant difference in facial features and vascularity when someone is lean. Add facial hair and people will bow. (Ded fkn Srs)

I'm pretty sure the last photo you posted was 18% and you're prilly closer to 14.5 or 15% rn. Keep dreaming bud.

It is noticable. Shirts hang differently and mostly the FACE and NECK are starting to get chiseled.

You are starting to have that masculine look.
