I'm under 10% at 175lbs, and I keep that year round without much concentrated effort. My diet is fairly lax, and I only do cardio around once per week. I put on a tiny bit in the winter, but everybody's body does that naturally. Just get motivated and go really hard with HIIT for like a month, and you'll be able to strip some off for good, hopefully. But the more muscle mass you have, the easier low BF% is to maintain.Originally Posted by I3
#!!# single digit BF is hard to obtain.. but easier to maintain.
I think im around 14% atm.. but more mass. I doubt i'd ever get to 10% unless I diet and get my exercise on point. Its coming up to winter for now, but I feel like staying leanish all year round, so I don't think i'd make any adjustments.
Im waiting for that next bout of motivation where I can push myself to get to that 10%. I want to be around 150-155 @ 10%
Sounds good. I don't pay too much attention to my diet as much anymore, I just try and get clean carbs/proteins/fats whenever I can. Obviously I try and limit carbs to maybe 2-3x day. But I dont crunch numbers or have a specific intake number etc..
HIIT is great, I feel lean the next few days after, its just it taxes on my legs and such that for me to preform it properly, I can only do it 2x max (on top of regular basketball training/games).
