IMO, there is such a thing as being too lean . When you go beyond what looks normal, it doesn't look good anymore, and you might as well be obese.
It's hard to say what body fat percentage is ideal, because two people will look very different at the same level, but in general, I would say a lean , athletic physique looks way better than a "shredded" or ripped version.

To give an example:

Lean and healthy:

"Shredded"

both are shredded, the guy in the second pic, doesn't look like that normally, it's mostly the lighting making him look that shredded, most people can't naturally get too shredded.

yup lean is what is most appealing, even slightly bulkier is better.

Insertions matter a lot when you are going for a lean look sadly, I hope I don't have bad insertions man :incel: gymcelling is all a waste with bad inserts

to be shredded you have to be lean, I personally don't think 99.99% of men can get too shredded naturally and a good number can't even get that shredded when overdosing on roids, so it's not even something to worry about

first guys bf is really good. hopefully i can achieve that naturally
 
10-12% really is the sweet spot for most people. Whether natural or roided that range guarantees maximized facial aesthetics and defined six pack and better health/skin

12% is the ideal tbh, even 10% is getitng too low.

I hope i don't have bad inserts once i'm lean, gymcelling seems like a meme if bad inserts :incel:

That physique isn't a halo especially if he puts on a t shirt he immediately looks dyel, Prime Beckford physique is ideal
I couldnt care less about looking ripped in a shirt. Height is a bigger halo.

Its about having fat distribution tbh. U can still look lean at 16-18% bf if that fat is spread out evenly
Good fat distribution is aesthetic

Unless it's massive it's not a problem. Case in point Terry crews has bad chest inserts who's known for his ripped body
