What’s the bf% you guys can maintain without losing your mind?

[Demondosage]

Curious as to what everyone’s answers may be here. Realistically for myself I would say 9-10% before I get anxious and borderline nuts. I can go lower but not sustain it constantly, sort of in phases I suppose. I’m curious as to what others feel like on this topic

20% just kidding, 5''-9" like to be at 185 13-18% unless it's summer.

As in my profile pic, I try to maintain it year round. There are holidays and some unplanned slip ups, so I'd say I stay like this about 10 out of the 12 months.

I'd estimate it around 12% or so... but I could be wrong.

I’d guess you at 10 or slightly lower to be honest bro. You are pretty ripped.

I can maintain around 10-12% pretty easily and be in a good mood. Cut my carbs and make me get 8% or lower and I’m sort of mental. Lol

i tried to hold 6% after my last cut but it was not doable longterm.
main issues:
Libido completely dead
joints completely dry
energy level sucks.
for me, 10-15% is ideal during the winter months. It takes discipline to stay at this range for me but it still allows for a cheat here and there and you dont feel like upper garbage-

I think the percentage somewhere around 12 is quite adequate, below it is already necessary to strictly follow the regime. 10% for me is when I don’t allow myself anything superfluous for a long time, but 12% and the appearance is good and sometimes I allow forbidden food.

I was up to around 25% during a couple injuries the past few years. I could feel a light layer of belly fat jiggle as I walked. That feeling of the fat jiggling was cue that there’s too much if it, and whatever exact percentage that was is my cut off point. I like to stay around 10-12% which is very doable on a comfortable diet.

Part that always plays a cutoff point with myself is how I feel, not necessarily the bland foods. I get to a point where I’m in a daze, almost like a zombie, I could be doing something that’s supposed to be enjoyable and I’m not enjoying it because I feel run down and out of it. My personality becomes flat, not necessarily an asshole but ppl being around me becomes annoying and unbearable. Yea, that’s about the point I pump the brakes

I like to stay around 10% most of the year but I will get up to around 12-14 in a heavy growth phase. Never a reason to be above 14

12-13
