What’s Your % Body Fat

[Straight4Straight]

Currently at 15%. 
Happily maintaining at that level. 
 

personally find it the “balance” where it doesn’t take much effort but I still see good abs shadows and shape. 
 

only on selective summers/ holidays I try to be full on and get ripped down to 12%.

For context, now reaching peak bulk for 3rd time, already gained and cut twice, from a skinny fat 25%+ since mid 2021.

 

Started 2024 at 72 kg, above 20, now maybe +2 or +3%. I've been bulking since September, then at 12% as confirmed by Inbody scan (65 kg, skeletal muscle 32.6 kg). Should be ending the bulk at just below 74 kg max by end of this month, Feb.

 

Was afraid of bulking beyond 20% late last year, however the ratio of muscle gain:fat is still acceptable for me. Also been motivated by the strongest I've been, plus haven't achieved the desired upper:lower proportions to validate a cut.

 

Interestingly the last few % gain really made a diffrence to my appearance (see my status update for back shot). People began commented on my width specifically. Since I am satisfied with this bulk, just decided to start cutting before exceeding 25% for fear of a prolonged cut. Wearing fitted shirts, I can now see a slight flab already forming.

 

I choose not to be obsessed with maintaining percentage in the low teens as I wish to have flexibility in my dining options, including home cook food by mum and eating out with friends. Maybe have an abs specialization phase in the future. Will get another Inbody scan end of this month!

Used to be 15%, after Christmas and CNY celebration now is 18%. Need to work harder to get back 15% and target to go down to 12%
