Low body fat Expectation vs Reality.
.
Expectation:
.
- Strong
- Healthy
- Harder muscles
- Fit like Bruce Lee
- Harder to regain back fat due to improved metabolism
- You look like you can fight 1 vs 3
- More dates
.
Reality (based on my experience):
.
- You will finally see some muscles you never thought you have
- You will look like a fitness expert
- You look like you on steroids
- Low libido
- Low energy & strength
- Higher chance of getting overuse injuries
- Harder to get into a deep sleep
- More cravings
- Frequent bad mood
- Not so healthy
- Good motivation for others
- And good for the gram

Ok, then why do I still choose to get down to this level? Because once in a while, I love how my body looks with this condition, sometimes for project photo/video shoot, and ultimately see how much I can achieve to this bf level from my diet and training.
.
Unfortunately, due to many cons staying at a very low BF level, tbh I won't stay at this condition for long. Max is 2-3 weeks, and then I'll bloat up a little for general health, performance, and I generally feel happier (my wife too).
.
Nope. This is not my year-round condition. My point is? Too much or too little of anything is never a good thing.
.
Keep training, keep up the healthy lifestyle but at the same time, don't feel bad if you have to get a little off track from your diet, and taking a step back from your training "once in a while." Stay balance!
