8% body fat, hopefully down to 5-6% in a month since I started a new diet |
What do you do to be there? I work out 4-6 times a week, eat well, and used to run 30 miles a week but now I run like 30 a month hehe thats why I am at 7-8 % range.
To drop down into 4-5 what do you do? and is it a long term plan to keep that or is it for competition? |

I don't compete, I'm just on an uber health kick atm. ;) I have a little pouch at my stomach that I need to get rid of, which is the motivation for the current diet. I do basically the same as you, except replace the running with riding bike (I absolutely loathe running).
3-4% is unhealthy, 5% is the lowest I would go, and I plan on staying at 6%. Do you typically work out/run right when you wake up? Do you eat 5 hours or less before going to bed? Do you sleep atleast 7 hours a night? With all you're doing already, I can't see why you'd have any trouble getting to 6%. I have a very high metabolic rate so that helps me a lot, I don't do any more than you. My diet is strictly protein and uncooked vegetables/fruits.
I was at 6.1% last summer, but I was only 165lbs. So I don't want to burn too much muscle trying to get that extra fat off. |

LoL, is this for real?
Oh well, might as well join the fun and tear down the stereotype, I'm 6'1 / 150 (weight may even be less, I seem to lose it no matter how hard I try NOT to :mad: ). |

Ah ok, I was shocked to think you couldn't get down to 6%. ;) Nothing special I do, just the normal constraints you hear preached about, training and eating right. :)
Triathalon training will definitely do it, but they're a different breed altogether. :crazy: My cousin is big into that and he can run circles around me. Glad you mentioned swimming, I need to get back into the habit of doing laps. Best way to get your back/shoulders into shape! |
