is it possible to reach 10% bf without building muscle?

[Deleted member 18418]

how can one reach 10% sub without building any muscle? can a well-trained runner/cyclist achieve it?
do you need to be SUPER skinny? or how?

You can, you’ll just look like a Auschwitz refugee if you don’t have the base of muscle tho

i'm already skinny and having trouble losing bf. I don't understand how it's possible to be such a low bf on 0 muscle

Well muscles do help cause they burn calories and also make you look less bf% than you are by ‘popping’ out better. The striations can make you look 10% to normies even if you’re 14.

It’s done just by being in a calorie deficit tbh. I’m in the same boat. We should probably get some muscle too

Baby head to toe from the body, spin us

there's no way i'm delaying my cutting tbh. I was thinking about doing the one punch man workout (idk if it's a meme) while in a deficit.
basically 10km run a day+100 push ups + 100 squats + 100 sit ups + i will add pullups as well.
i'm already in a good shape to run the 10km a day and it's ez for me, can i build some minimal muscle with this workout ?

You’d build muscle a lot quicker if you lift. Just sign up for a gym. That workout is better than nothing but there’s a reason it was featured in an anime JFL. Find a real exercise program. By the way if you run 10 km a day and don’t eat like an animal you will atrophy all your muscle gains

That's why every looksmaxxer should be gymmaxxing as it is the easiest way to achieve a low bf% without having to look like a skeleton (a good frame/good insertions also play a big role as well, of course)
And I reckon that the difference between 10% bf and for example, 12% bf (probably the lowest most people will go) is negligible to a large extent, at least in terms of overall (perceived) size.
I'm at 12% bf rn (had it measured by a doc recently) and I might have been lower than that 1.5-2 years ago as I was a few kg lighter back then as well.

If you have a good frame/insertions and gymcel you won't look skinny at 10-12% bf. It's more effective than running as well. All runners have shitty physiques whilst sprinters, who train for explosiveness, have great physiques.

Runners and cyclists can achieve 3% bodyfat, but they are somewhat muscular. Cardio burns a lot of calories.
