I maintained a 5% body fat for 6 months post show. I was so lean it was painful to walk due to having literally no fat on the soles of my feet, I was having vision problems and was fucking freezing 24/7. I ended up with an eating disorder that took over two years to get through. This barely scratches the surface. You do NOT want to be shredded and certainly not for long.

5:50: On one hand, in the past, a part of me would have told me that being shredded buys happiness and women. But after months of following a nutritionnist on intuitive eating because I was (and still am a bit) being way to restrictive and overreacting to certain foods I perceived as pure evil (when I didn't before) as well as using the gym and exercice in excess to feel less guilty (basicly orthorexia). Especially since I was a fortunate person who not only never had any weight issues, but also never had to count macros due to my good relationship with my hunger and satiety cues as well as a following in general a diet rich in fiber, good protein and fats. Nowadays, I focus more on a realistic approach where I try to stay fit, muscular and slighty ripped on the abdomen, but not to an extreme degree since this is how I find a good balance between physical and psychological wellbeing. OS now I would say happiness over being shredded. Sorry for the long comment so here's a potato for you all. 🥔

[@esmee6308]

Thank you for sharing that. You hear so many stories of weightloss 'gone too far' or strong EDs that it's interesting to hear someone with good habits, still getting 'ab anxiety' leading to orthorexia. (Or close to.)

[@chi7818]

I’ve learned after 10 years of lifting that women don’t give a shit how shredded and strong you are. You will always be stronger than them which already means you are strong in their mind. benching 315 vs benching 225 is pretty much the same thing to them, and if you so much as have any kind of ab definition then you are golden. Of course there are the minority who actually care about how strong you are and how shredded you are but for them there are always bigger, stronger, more shredded guys than you so (most of which are on PED’s lol) so that’s an uphill battle as well.

[@esmee6308]

@@esmee6308 haha yeah I wish I knew sooner instead of powerlifting for years, getting big and strong, and causing all kinds of stress to my body that it didn’t need. Tip for all the young people out there from some random guy, work out for your health and for some aesthetics. Use lower weight and more reps (10-15 rep ranges is what I do now) but still progressively overload for the gains. Focus on form and not weight because no one gives a shit how much you lift. They might be impressed for the moment while you do the lift but that’s it, not worth risking injury and the extra stress for your body. You’ll still get stronger and more aesthetic but it’s more sustainable. I mean that’s what all the older people do because it’s what works and it’s safer. Learn from us old guys lol.

In July-August, 2024. I completed water-only fasts of 3, 7, and 10 days. Now, I’m preparing for 14 and 21-day fasts, with the ultimate goal of a 28-day water-only fast. Everyone’s experience is unique, and individual factors play a significant role. I started at over 120 kg with 46% body fat, and now I’m in the 86-88 kg range for last 20 days, doing healthy OMAD. We may not grasp the depth of his personal battles, motivations, his reasoning or his purpose, the overall essence of his quest. Yet, one truth remains undeniable: its someone's "why" and their "horrible will" that drive them forward. For me, Helmut is the embodiment of heroism and the figure I hold in the highest regard. I am resolutely committed to naturally achieving the 3-4% body fat, even if it’s only for a few weeks or for just few days. This is the only way to truly gauge what is possible without the aid of performance enhancers. This is a milestone I must reach, if only to prove to myself what is possible. In this battle, the struggle is not against external forces but against one's own limits and doubts. Nothing and no one else matters-this is a fight with the self, and it is one I intend to win. 1700, September 12. India.

[@ironchump1501]

Something i suggest you try if your calves dont grow from calf raises and such, try sprinting and short-medium distance running, with emphasis spending as much time in the air/only the tip of your feet touching the ground while still trying to go as fast as you can which means your calves will be like springs, taking the brunt of your bodyweight + momentum, and also that requires maximum power exertion which is basically what you do when you try to lift heavy and i find that if you do really go hard, especially with the sprinting, you will get very sore calves and make them grow. If you did this and didn't get sore, then you didn't do enough volume. Calf raises and other calf exercises you can do at the gym are annoying and dont even give me the same results as sprinting and sprinting is a lot more fun.

[@askandrew9132]

“He probably needs toast to get him through his nightmares” 😂😂😂

[@aidenb.4648]

What’s crazy is Will has a great physique but doesn’t do shots with crazy lighting and stuff so I think a lot of people are surprised to see his body fat being measured at so low it also shows how warped our interpretation of bodies are ngl. I’m guilty of this too yes will probably isn’t exactly 8.5 lol but it’s probably around there and that’s awesome!

[@pscully1969]

You handled that madness quite well. As far as Helmet, I personally think he looks like a med school cadaver; I don't see any aesthetic in being that shredded. That's just my own perception. The late great Bruce Lee was an example of someone who was super ripped but still very healthy and active (and looked human).

[@joeshmoe7967]

Standing calf raises with a deep deep stretch at the bottom are the best thing ever. I am genetically gifted a tiny bit, in that my proportion of calf to thigh is very good. My whole body is well proportioned, but to short to be a pro BB. I thought about it way back, but have no interest in PEDS. Now I just want to get back in shape and inspire people to never surrender to 'old'.

@@sleep3417 bro you realize taking steroids doesn’t mean you can do all that shit and be 4% body fat right? Steroids aren’t some miracle drugs that lets you do shit like eat thousands of calories of whatever you want and be shredded. At best steroids will let you be 10-20% better than your natural limits, so you would have to be insanely gifted to pull this shot and still be 4% body fat. Your other points stand though, he double look better at 8% bodyfat (to normal people at least) and it would definitely be healthier than staying that shredded all year round.

As a competitor for many years I’d put him at 9…maybe 10% at most.

When he’s in the gym without the bloat, from his face alone u can tell he’s pretty lean.

I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 /////////////
