Fuck wrong subforum

18 is too high. Some people can maintain 10% so if you can great otherwise just be as lean as possible while still having good qol

 

[Saint Casanova]

10% is ideal for most.

 

[bourgeoizyzz]

Really low if you want to attract dudes

Basically doesn't matter if you're after women

I’m at 13% by US NAVY method now and my face is still a shapeless mess, I’m going to go to 8% this time and see what happens.

What changes from 10-12 I’m curious? Is it a big difference or just finer details

Bro I’m 18-19 and when I hit 15 ish my face goes from bloated and super bad to a PSL God bones wise
I have a great maxilla and cheekbone development thank god
My side is insane when I’m lean but my front could do with a lil work

Generally that’s when a full six pack is shown in any light, including the bottom two abs.

Also just better definition everywhere

10-12 is probably the most ideal. But if you can’t do that just try to stay sub 15

Oh I meant for facial aesthetics
I’d assume probably similar for face but I don’t wanna look gaunt

If you have a small skull or round shape you need to be very lean for any bones to pop

eh. it's really about face with women.

they're looking for features to pass onto their children: eyes, hair color, hair line, etc

if I’m 18-19 now and don’t wanna lose muscle how long will it take to get down to 14 ish?

Looking gaunt is for people with no bones

I got a small skull but when I’m 15 my bones go crazy. (Not small but 50th percentile which is considered small here)

nah cos even Jordan Barrett does when super lean tbf
but it’s my eye area that I don’t wanna lose fat in. I have already Eye bags (no eye support recession) so I’m scared it’ll get super thin

If u are 13 by us navy method u are probably closer to 20 realistically

I was 13 at the scanner thingy at the fat grafting place as well

If so then iam wrong but the reason the military method is very inaccurate is because it is heavily dependent on the amount of muscle mass in the neck and waist size which is genetic for the most part

I would say more hormonal than genetic, and you can certainly trick the calculation with excessive neck training. At the end of the day all that matters is how you look in the mirror.
