Is leanmaxxing at 17 wise?

[Deleted member 28774]

I am roughly 16-18% bf, I can see bones and i am very tempted to cut to 10%-8%. Will this kill my test and stunt my face growth?

If you're not 6 foot at 17 you won't be 6 foot at 20.

You are mixing up facts. Fat tissue is the #1 cause of low testosterone, and increases estrogen

Can being overweight lower my testosterone levels? | Endocrine System

Yes. Being overweight causes testosterone levels to fall for several reasons. Firstly, testosterone is converted to the female hormone estrogen in fat

If you drop to lean body fat levels, your testosterone will increase.

Being lean will allow you to grow to your optimal height.

how about the lack of calories during cutting? wouldnt that be bad for growth and hormones?

If you get enough micronutrients and protein, no, a short cut isn't going to stunt you.

It's effectively going to be a carb and fat cut if you intend to preserve muscle mass during the cut (so your daily protein is going to be somewhere around 120-200g depending on your weight)

You aren't removing them from the diet entirely, just slightly reducing the amounts of carbs and fats you eat.

You can also speed up the cut by doing excercise daily, even 300kcal a day adds up to half a kilo lost every two weeks.

I wouldn't touch illegal fat burners until your puberty is over because the side effects on still growing people (i.e. teens) are unknown.
