Is it possible to be 2% bodyfat without any dangerous sideeffects?

[pintoca]

right now I'm 1%

give or take (probably give) 20%, when they put the calipers on me all they grab is bone and veins, boy is it hard being this ripped

When Ray Lewis (the football player for those who don't know) first got to University of Miami he was at 2.6% BF. This is because Ray Lewis is f'ing nuts. He got down to 5% for wrestling his senior year in high school, then once he finished with that dropped even further. When he showed up to training camp, the trainers wouldn't let him work out at all and baisically suspended him until he was at 5% BF, and then watched him very closely after that.

complete bullshit. 2.6%, please. so he showed up at school before he was fully matured, still a growing young man, but his body was able to put aside his need for nutrients and repair to grow and develop so he could get to 2.6% and still be healthy to play football (but the trainers wouldnt let him?). how f'ing ridiculous this sounds. so he got there lower than any pro bb ever has on stage, and he did it with no real prep, he just was able to. so why isnt he shredded now? if he was able to live at 2.5% he'd still be shredded. why not now? why? because it never happened! seriously, lack of experience is one thing but to believe every stupid piece of bs we hear is a joke. in case your unaware, at 2.6% he wouldnt be able to walk to the training facility at miami let alone function to think about running and hitting. i mean come on....

Velvett, what part of that post are you refering to exactly? If its being able to get down to 2% bodyfat then no, i'm not. If you are refering to flex being at 0% at one of his early olympias, then no, i'm not. In fact that post had no sarcasm in it what so ever. Please be precise next time.

The lowest I ever heard of flex getting to was just above 3%. I can't believe you would even suggest he was at 2% much less 0%. Come on bro!

Sorry dude did you not read the post properly? If not then please do.

sure he was 2.6% but on a fucked up calculation! truth is he was probably 5-6% in real life medical / biology terms.

 

[Eaglesguy]

Yea, Ray was probably closer to 5-6%. If he was really down below three he wouldnt be healthy enough to play football. Even someone who is shredded for football standards like T.O. is probably at the lowest 6%.

3% is the essential minimum bodyfat for a male with around 5% being the min that can be healthily sustained.

he competed and won the 189 pound state wrestling championship in high school.

as the "story" goes he was @6% bf then. so he continued to diet down to get to that 2.6% bf. ok. how did he make and start for the miami hurricanes as a freshman when he would have to have weighed no more than 180 pounds with the entire bullshit story taken into account? or did he add on 30 plus pounds of muscle while still eliminating the fat to be ready to play for one of the most storied college programs in the world?

hmmm? could it be that it never happened? cause if it did i need to see pictures and stats to even remortely believe this.

this is like the stories, hey mike vic ran a 4.1. when? he never ran at the combine and that is the time that counts. but my friends, brothers, sisters, cousins neighbor is a janitor in atlanta and he heard them talking about it while he was cleaning the shitty toilets.

shouldn't we take into account that everyone is different? i swear my friend is ripped all year round. like no one i have ever seen before. he isn't as big as BB's but this guy is ripped!! he has to stay around 4%, and he never cuts. he drinks eats like mad, but is always cut to hell. i could believe that someone like him could get to 2%. whereas someone like me would never get there and be healthy, and i stay around 10-15%.
