will a 3-4% bf change make a difference facially?

[NorwoodAscender]

does anybody have a before/after of going from 14% bf to 10%? rn i’m at at 14ish. will getting down to 10% make a noticeable difference in my face? if not i’m just going to stay at 14 and continue to make better gains in the gym

every 1% below 15% makes a major difference.

the lower your bodyfat is, the more of a difference even half a percent makes.

lifefuel so losing 4% (14 to 10) and debloating could make an incredible difference?

14 to 10% makes a way bigger difference than 20 to 15.

Would 10 to 8 be bigger difference than 14 to 10? 8 isnt maintable but just curious

yes but unless you're on exogenous hormones it's unlikely that you will make it.

even 10% is highly questionable.

i think when you go below 12 you risk losing important facial fat you cannot get back even if you bulk

No like slight muscle mass obviously but not built

Yeah, for 10-12% you will need decent muscle mass to not look like an anorexic twink. At least 1-2 yrs of gymcelling.

models do not tend to look attractive without shirt because most of them don't lift, it makes them look like adult heads mounted on the bodies of prepubescent boys.

it's awful.

and he wasn't even that lean in this.

Ive noticed models actually have huge skulls and byzygo of like 15 cm at least in most cases. Here his frame looks dogshit proportion wise but relative to other people he looks big

ive seen relatively muscular dudes get to 10-11 and they usually look way worse, if ur already lacking to begin with ur gonna end up looking like a twig (like de poot). You have to be gymcelling for quite a while to maintain decent size at that low bodyfat

you'll be fine, probably look like a regular lean guy. Not muscular but not skinny enough to make fun of. Surprised you have like negligable ab visibility though at 14%

i do when i flex. i never train them tho that might be why

lightings not the best either thats probably why. Either way I think you should go for it, try and lean down as much as you can

massive difference, i was low enough body fat to have abs, but the next 2 percent was straight to the legs and face, could actually feel the masseters 10 times more when touching by hand and felt changes extremely quick to how my skin felt around cheeks depending on sodium and sugar intake
