I got that from Men's Health, so don't call me an idot.

Well I've heard that he put on both 40 lbs and 20 lbs for Blade Trinity but is true that he has only 3% body fat.

Well, of course - Men's Health is gospel.

Further, 3% bodyfat is the very lowest you can be, you can only maintain it for a few days at a time - you're basically on the verge of death. A picture of 3% has already been posted. He's about 6-8% in that picture, and even then I think the light is doing him favours. I'd say 8%.

Man, I read that article in Men's Health some months ago, but I know that I don't have to believe to everything they say on magazines. Trust me, his bodyfat is surely over 8%.

How can you believe that somebody can stay below 6% bodyfat for an undeterminated time? 7% is not dangerous, but below that it is. Under 6%, for a long time, is considered clinical. 1% bodyfat? C'mon, dude.

I find it hard to believe that anyone who smoked an ounce of hash every day could have a 1% body fat ratio. I'd never leave the fridge, man!

Get your facts striaight man your brain is partially made from fat so it's impossible to go under 3% other you would die cuz you woudn't have a functional brain. Why would u want to go less than 10% anything else is unhealthy, unless you want to be a professional bodybuilder or some workout freak like bruce lee who looks like a juiced up triangle.

Whenever my bodyfat is above 10%, my gut becomes prominent, that's why I want to go less than 10%. Do you really think that it's unhealthy to be at 8%? Because it's major bullshìt.

I remember reading somewhere that top Swimers, Soccer players, and Boxers would get down to about 7 to 5%. I would imagine since they train constantly for months at a time to get into that shape, its is not so much that it is unhelathly but just takes a lot of effort to keep your body at that level. In a way, your body is fighting against you to stay at those levels just because it puts so much of a strain on on it. Your body wants to take road of least resistance. I guess by gradually getting to these lower %'s, you can trick it into accepting them as normal. It seems that too many people try to get down to those levels at a speed which is unhealthy.

But that is just a guess.

If we are talking about bodyfat - the lowest of elite sportsmen is about 6-7% for endurance runners. Cyclists are about 8-9%, swimmers are about 10-12% (fat floats! and that is important for swimmers).

Lowest recorded is 4%. Which is also the minimum required. Below that you will _die_.

The most 'attractive' to women is about 10-12% with visible muscle below.

In order to make his way to the top of the porn industry, Peter North started out in gay porn, and was actually on the recieving end from what I hear. That's just word of mouth, though. Can anyone verify?

Not necessarily true, since it varies from person to person. I am most attractive when I'm around 8%...

How was this ascertained? Hydrostatic weighing?

It's just that I thought 3% was the widely accepted limit below which you die. Having said that, most methods have a 2% margin of error at the very least.

If you hit 2-3% bf you'll be dead. When you get that low, all the fat on you will be the fat on your internal organs.
