I'm all about "big" men.. Not fat by any means, but thick and hard and tall. I'm so sick of this current "12 year old boy" look that seems to be the trend among men and women nowadays. Gimme a chick with hips, thighs, and tits, and gimme a dude that's got big shoulders, a hard tummy (not necessarily flat,) big strong thighs and looks like a MAN. Guys gotta be at least my height (5'9) and 220+lbs. I'm an Amazon and I need a Warrior. hehehe..
Diet is important, and dedication to sit ups/ crunces. Do it till it hurts. The body fat percentage is key. It also comes down to genetics, easier for some than others.
doesn't anybody want to correct this? i've never measured my body fat, but i know of some friends who have and they're totally ripped yet they have around 17 or 18% FAT. you can see all the muscles, trust me... 6% sounds like the person would be dead; lol. i can't even imagine... i think your body fat tends to be much higher than you would expect.... i'm one of those high-metabolism thin guys about 146lbs, but i BET my body fat is at least 15% or so and you can see the muscles on my stomach, so.... for what it's worth...
The average for males is 8-15% body fat. The average for females is 2-33% body fat. We just studied this in Health class.
hahahahahahahahha....hahahahha Abs are made in the kitchen, not in the gym.... go do 800000 sit ups, and i guarantee u somone with a cutting diet will have abs 10 times faster than u do.
For women it is not 2% toolmaggot. Men - 9-15%, women 18-25%. Getting down to 8% is damn tough. Those bodybuilders you see all ripped can hold that for a six hour window.
Look fit, not fat, and not narcissistic (sp?). If you have a biceps big enough you can't see your dick, it's time to cut back on the roids.
One of those cheap handheld machines put me at 17%, being submerged in water gave me a 7%. :/ That was before a summer of taco bell, however.
As one who follows natural ways, and a survivalist, I believe everyone should have moderate amounts of fat storage. I would never want to be really lean, could turn bad in a survival situation.
