Does This Look Like 11.5% Bf?

I just cant seem to get to like 9%. What do I do!
The nice thing about bf% is that it is a ratio against lean body mass. So if someone were to increase their LBM but maintain the same absolute amount of fat, then their bf% would drop. So my solution is: add more muscle. :D

Seriously though, make sure you are taking in lots of protein. T3 apparantly can really eat up the muscle, which isn't going to benefit you.

Anything less than 15% is awesome for a woman IMHO.

I came in around 8-9% at my contests. The judges told me my conditioning was perfect at that BF%.
I'm afraid I'm going to need to see full size pictures. Please post 'em up. If you need to resize them, then email me the non-resized versions because I much prefer the detail of the full quality photo. Hell, I'm happy to resize them for you.

PS Did I mention how good you look?

Look at the difference between the 2 of you, I doubt that's only 2-3% difference.

I don't know women could get under 10%, this is going to sound weird, but under 10% most do away with a lot of breast (fat) tissue or you can't have much breast tissue to began with. Women have a thicker layer of fat beneath the skin then men, at least that's what I've been told.

But to be honest I don't follow womens BBing, I don't care for the way it looks, I like my women thick, not fat, but if I can see veins, that to skinny for me. Women need to have some softness to them, I tried the low body fat women and it felt weird to me. I'll take a tight body over a hard body, just my preference and I'm not saying that women shouldn't do it, cause there are guys out there that love it, I'm just not one of them, like it matters :insane2:

So keep doing what you're doing, if you like it and your man likes it, who care what I think :eyes:

jul: Very nice!

sarah-jane: You are looking good. You've got to realize that jul isn't the type of woman that you see every day on the street. Which is why we enjoy having her here so very much.

Both of you please keep up the good work!

The thing is the exact same thing applies to men alot of woman don't like veins and below 10BF% on men, as long as you have good 6pack that's enough for girls...any lower and there gonna feel the same way as JohnnyB or at least I'm guessing they do :s

but what the fugga do I know I just some average Jo but with a 10" dick so I don't care whether I'm below 10% ;)

Thanks Figure8! :) I do not stay that lean all the time. You are right. I don't like to get over 15% bf during offseason though. I am currently around 11%. (That will proabably change during the holidays...LOL) But the only thing I took was an eca stack 2 times per day. I did a minimum of 2 hours of cardio a day though and ate really clean.

How is your contest prep coming along???

LOL. But if he has a 10" dick, then he ain't average. ;)
 
Jul, what I said wasn't a put down toward you, it's my opinion or preference, it has nothing to do with you, so no one needs to stick up for you or you don't have to defend yourself. It's just my opinion, I didn't make it when I seen your pics, so it's not directed at you or any of the women here at S'ology.

I would hope we could have opinions here and would be able to express them. People read something that isn't going with the crowd and automatically it's directed at someone in the thread. People if it's directed at someone at someone, it's a general statement. Now if I were to say "Jul, I think you look nasty" that would be a directed statement at a particular person, which I never did.

I think she's work hard to get to that b/f for a show. If you thought what I said was directed at you, it wasn't, sorry you felt that way and if I made it sound that way I'm sorry. I'm very careful not to belittle anyone, I know I didn't direct it toward you, if you thought I did, it's porbably because you haven't read many of my posts.

I don't frequent this site all that much, and now it will be even less. Everytime someone tries to help someone, someone else gets all ruffled because it is evident that they were proven wrong. Some opinions that I have (not directed towards anyone particularly, of course)- I hate it when a bodybuilding site has moderators who know nothing about BB, and also hate the way BB looks. Everytime someone puts their pictures up, there has to be some jackass that has something negative to say - usually someone who is too scared to put their own pics up. The other sad truth is that a "mild" comment like this I'm sure will get me banned. The dip-wads that are all so negative and condescending unfortunately have the power to do so. So to all the people that are actually trying to get help, and those who are willing to put themselves out there to give it - good luck doing it here! There are some that are unable to admit they don't know this topic and are going to stand in your way.

I think I'm going to join a muscle car message board, but personally, I hate muscle cars and I think they are ugly and unattractive - hey, maybe they will make me a mod!

And Johnny B, if you think this is directed towards you, I'm sure I didn't mean it that way, and If you think I did, its because you haven't read all my posts.

(I expect everyone on this board to read all my posts so they will know that when I make statements its not meant to be taken personally, its just my opinion!)

You're right, my wife think the viens are ugly, but what can you do, if you're at 10% you're going to have some, on the arms for sure

Hey Johnny! A little confused. I didn't take offense to your post. Actually I appreciate the fact that you are honest in expressing your opinion. :) Everyone has different opinions on what they find attractive. I think most men don't find "contest shape" to be as attractive as offseason. I have heard that numerous times. So sorry things got a little off track in this thread. I have no hard feelings and again, appreciate the fact that you are expressing your honest opinion. I didn't feel that you directed anything towards me, specifically. Jul :( :kiss:
