Question about my bodyfat

[the.gladiator1987]

Ok guys i have been 10% my whole life. Right now im on cycle and im 205lbs10% BF.

My question is when I flex I look RIPPED, but when I dont flex I have no definition?? Even though im 10% BF I dont have the cts or vascularity when im not flexing. Is there a way to get this without having to drop more bodyfat? Any supps/steroids that give you that look that you are cut up without flexing?

I might be holding atr right now too because of my cycle but this happens off cycle as well.

I have an opinion, which is based on my own experience... If I remember from your other posts, you're a lot younger than I am... I could never get any vascularity; no matter how low body fat (I've been as low as 129 lbs at 6' , which I'm estimating was in the 2%-3% bf range; sickly unhealthy). I had no veins then, and didn't see them 'til I turned 40. Now I have veins everywhere; abs included. But if it's age, I'll trade you my veins for your age, LOL... This is the same issue as with young bros trying to get peaked traps. Not going to happen in most cases. I don't know why, but even when you see huge teen competitors, they have small traps. As soon as I got into my mid 30s, I got great traps without any new work.

So long story short, maybe be glad you're still too young for something, because Bro, you will look back some day and wish you could lose the vascularity and definition for youth! On the other hand, I can look like I'm flexing when I'm not, and the definition is there all the time. But as you say, it wasn't there unless I was pumped or flexed, until I was into my 30s and 40s.

or maybe your not actually 10%? Have you been measured or are you just guessing 10%?

 

[Juiced91]

well im 10% measured 5 days ago and im also like him although i have some vascularity but would like to see opinions too

 

[stevesmi]

i would recommend when you take pics or are on the beach walking by some hotties to just flex, but dont make it obvious.. that would be the simplest solution for you.

Thanks bro! You may be right on the money with that one...I know most "men" get that man strength that you dont have as a kid. Also most young guys look "soft". I actually look preety good and hard. Ill post some pics and you guys can decide. Ill do some flexing, and some not flexing

EM - maybe unflexed im not 10% but when I flex I d3ef have a 6 pack....

steve - i look good either way lol but good advice! I always seem to sneak in a flex or pose when someones takin a pic

 

[Tblock1]

I think it could be the extra water weight you are holding from being on cycle. That would enough to make you look a little bloated unflexed

 

[the.gladiator1987]

but it happens off cycle too. Its everyday, its jus when im relaxing i am not real cut up but when i flex holy shit i look like a bb'er

 

[calyptus]

I have 4-pack at 15% when flexing, but at 10% I have a full 5-pack(last one is harder to show, genetic thing for me) unflexed.

Most people underestimate their bodyfat. Unless it's a dexa-scan, take it with a grain of salt, mirror doesn't give a damn about numbers.

 

[the.gladiator1987]

its very genetic, however substance use does play a role

wen i was 14-15%bf a fair time ago i still maintained bicep and deltoid splits and veins everywhere running through my forearms

now i have veins continuosly through ym body at about 11%bf, but one thing ive defenetaly noticed is wen i use tren i get spider webs of veins running through my quads (especialy on the tear drop) and biceps, not to mention my forearms,

n wen i say spider webs worths of veins i mean it, my gf freaks out wen she looks at my quads, i even a few new thick ones through my triceps and calves,

HOWEVER wen i come off tren i loose all these veins within a week, i still have a lot of veins but nothing compared to wen i hit the tren

theres one thing thats worked for me, not saying jump on the tren, but just letting you know one thing thats always worked for me

Ive got good shoulder separation when flexing lol...but not flexing my arm just look s"big". Its weird. I havent tried tren yet because I feel like its bad for your heart and im young so if i dont have to mess with that stuff yet i dont want to.....

here are some when not flexing

Looks like your in the 10-13% neighborhood. I think more than likely its just water retention that gives you that bloat look. Not a big deal.


A better question would be is why is there another dude in the bathroom with you when your taking your first flex pic (see in mirror reflection)

I wanna get to 8-9% by the end of this cycle, katanadrol should def help. I think its water retention too since im not taking an AI and im on 750mg test. My nips are fine tho, so is my BP!

lolz thats me dude since there are 2 mirrors opposite of eachother it just shows me forever and ever...sometimes i look and i feel like theres something else behind the 50th version of me! lol i wonder if anyone else ever has thought that

 

[stevesmi]

keep working out and you wont need to flex to look ripped.

grow the existing muscle without adding fat. thats your goal now.

 

[ExtraMile]

i would say your either:

* holding alot of water

* higher than 10% bf

* bloated because of something like diary products

I'm pretty sexy myself when I'm not chubbin it. No pics for the gays.

You look good Glad. From what you say you eat like dog shit and you still look like that so I wouldn't be concerned. All that fast food you eat has alot of sodium in it. Even the burgers.

I agree you are holding a little water, but imo almost noone looks cut when not flexing unless they are super lean. Most super lean guys are not big by any means either unless they are genetically gifted or on decent amounts of gear imo.

Improve the quality of the food you eat. Reduce the sodium intake and make sure you are drinking lots of water.

Winstrol would definitely dry you out alot. My guess is better than tren. From all the pics and from what I have heard tren seems great for making you hard and vascular, but winstrol will dry your shit out big time. Best example is to look at old Dave Draper pics when he was on winstrol. He went from a little puffy to dry as fuck.

I've never really had much of an issue with that. I'm 22 now, but I remember having bulgy veins up and down my arms. even in junior high. I'm a similar body type. Very lean. 9% or 10% BF. Never took any sort of supplements either, so I don't know? Genetics maybe?

 

[oso0960]

I remember when I did a very high volume routine, I could see my veins after the first week having never seen them before. I can still see them even though my body fat has increased significantly.

So maybe try a higher volume routine?

99% of us ate like crap when we were his age. i remember eating mcdonalds and fazoli's for lunch. what else could i afford? but now if i ate like that i would look and feel like sh*t 24/7.

he will learn the hard way unless he cleans up his diet

 

[the.gladiator1987]

I jus am not built for high volume oso. I get so pumped and i grow on lower volume, so why risk overtraining? I think I just need to get my BF% down to single digits, and i also heard cardio makes your veins bigger, and i never do cardio. I also need to lose a little water weight, im not taking any AI and im on 750mg test. AND like ghetto said i eat a lot of sodium

I am eating better now that im back home, but when I go on a cut ill post a log so youguys should check it out. Thanks for advice guys
