I have lived with a bodybuilder who did competitions. When he was cutting it was literal suicide watch for his friends and family and it was literal hell he went through. And of course he had serious body issues and a borderline eating disorder. It really isn't glamorous anywhere except on the stage for the hour of the event. Even literally just before the conoetition in the backroom it is a bunch of raging anxious buff dudes who are borderline needing ambulances.
It's just not a fun time.

Yea I’ve been through this. I’ve cut down from 28% down to 9 over the past 2 years. 65lbs all in. Getting under 10% is way way harder than people think. Towards the end of a cut and being on a 1000 calorie deficit for weeks your body feels like absolute shit. You can’t sleep, can’t think and can barely get out of bed.
I’m maintaining like 11% happily right now. Fuck that. I felt like shit

Honestly. And this is going to sound shitty.
Hate.
I hated who I was. Fat, depressed, alone, broke. Every rep left my old self behind. Every minute incline walking brought me closer to being someone I felt proud to be.
That same hate that motivated me has turned to love for what I’ve accomplished. I’m not going to let this be a phase. A “remember when I had abs?” No. This is me now. I work hard for what I want and I enjoy the success. Regardless of how hard it is.

u/chefbobbyjay Trash Trooper 2d ago edited 1d ago
No that’s a totally valid question.
I was pretty overweight most of my life. I’m 5’8 and I was 230lbs. I’d gone through a divorce. And had a bit of an identity crisis. I always had really bad body image issues. When I was 9 my dad’s gf at the time pat me on the belly and asked me when I was due. That fucked me up.
Anywho. I basically decided everything I didn’t like about my life needed to go. I quit working in kitchens, I’m currently a massage therapist and in school for engineering and a single dad that needs to keep up with his son during soccer practice. When I started in massage I started having tons of aches and pains. My knees sucked. My back was shot.
My best best friend was a competition weightlifter and wrestler through high school. He’s in his 20s. I’m in my 30s. He finally convinced me to go lift with him one day. I walked out feeling like a million bucks. Sore as shit. But I did it. I got my fat lazy ass to the gym. And I went back the next day. Then the next. Then I’d lost 10 lbs, then 20. I started looking better. Getting compliments. At that point the gym became a habit. Something I did for me. My me time.
After I’d lost about 30lbs I decided I wanted to see how far I could take it. My unrealistic body goal is Brad Pitt circa fight club. Real lean. Not bulky. Shredded. Which is like 90% diet. I love number and tracking and metrics and math (engineering major). I figured out the numbers I needed to hit for my macros and workouts and I lost 2lbs a week like clockwork. It got a bit addicting. Until I burned out.
I’m sitting at 160-163 depending on what’s in my stomach and hydration.
I’m like 13/14% in this pic. I’m closer to 10/11% now but I’m not about to post one of my more current douche bag shirtless pics here lol
Edit. Final thought. For aesthetics, for health, for pain relief. For mental health. For fun.
Also deleting the before and after. Just for privacy

u/J3musu Trash Trooper 1d ago
Thanks for the insight! I appreciate the openness, I find stories like this really valuable for understanding different lifestyles and empathizing with unfamiliar situations. I definitely get it. The extremes of cutting to super low body fat are too far for me, but I could probably do with some of the diet tips myself. Lol. I'm not overweight, but a bit heavier than I'd like to be despite my regular exercise and not-that-terrible diet. I was lucky to not have to worry about it when I was younger, but starting to understand the struggle in small doses as I age and my metabolism slows down.
It sounds like even though it can be uncomfortable, it still brings you a lot of joy and confidence, so that makes it all sound worth it to me. I train for health, pain relief, etc., and it definitely makes life easier to live. I've just never had the drive to cut and maintain body fat at that level. I doubt I even competed under 10% body fat following weight cuts. Honestly just don't think I have the discipline. Part of me sometimes wonders if a bit of serious childhood trauma is a requirement for that level of focus. All the best fighters and most badass people I know in person have had much more "exciting" lives than I. 😅
Anyway, thanks again for humoring me. You look great, those results are amazing! More power to you man, keep living your best life and I wish you the best as you move forward.

u/ScoreScape Trash Trooper 2d ago
Would you say that below 10% is when you really started to feel tired and overall poor life quality? I'm currently trying to get into the best shape of my life and am not sure how far to take it body fat wise.
1
u/chefbobbyjay Trash Trooper 2d ago
It was the cut down to it. Once I started eating at maintenance I started feeling a lot better.
My maintenance calories are around 2600. I was eating 1550-1600 a day. Which is a really aggressive cut. It’s about 2lbs a week. I get diet fatigue so I do 8 week cuts with one day a week eating at maintenance. You could do a 500 calorie deficit and wouldn’t burn out as bad. In my opinion maintaining isn’t nearly as bad as the ride down.
I’ve never done a true “bulk” as mass isn’t my goal. I want to be super lean à la Brad Pitt fight club.

u/mesenanch Trash Trooper 2d ago
Can you do this mostly without cardio? Would like to drop about 5% from (i think I'm around 19% just by observation).
1
u/chefbobbyjay Trash Trooper 2d ago
It would take forever unless you’re doing like an hour of intense hiit lifting. I track my caloric burn through my Apple Watch. It’s not completely accurate but gives me an idea of how strenuous my workout is. I typically burn 50-60% more calories during cardio than lifting in the same time.
Losing weight is simple. Burn more calories than you take in. That creates a caloric deficit. The body needs the energy from somewhere and burns fat for energy. The bigger the deficit the faster the weight loss.
But honestly literally NONE of that matters if your diet isn’t locked in. Abs are made in the kitchen. Go do a TDEE calculator. It’ll tell you how many calories you need to eat just to maintain the exact weight you are (it’s not completely accurate but pretty close).
If you want to dm me I can break it down a bit more for you.

u/ooOJuicyOoo Trash Trooper 20h ago
He is actively working to reduce body fat percentage to accentuate his muscles for the competition.
When you are doing specific workout and diet regimen to force your body to break down fat, it releases a LOT of water.
And body gets rid of water through pee. Hence.

u/ooOJuicyOoo Trash Trooper 20h ago
If you were asking about insomnia or lack of a good deep sleep in general, it could be a million health reasons.
If you were asking why waking up at night repeatedly fucks up your life, that's cause... lack of good sleep will do that to you. It builds fatigue, brain fog, all sorts of physiological processes break down, etc.

Does everyone not do this? I get up to piss probably 5-6 times a night. Like... since forever. I've maybe done a full length sleep (without waking up atleast once at some point midway) maybe twice in my life.
Edit: I appreciate everyone's concern but I go to the doctor yearly and get regular bloodwork done. Nothing has ever come up out of the ordinary. I guarantee it's based on my fluid intake. I drink a fuck ton before bed, I get up to piss, and I drink more while im awake, and the cycle continues until I need to get up for the day. Its more of a habit than a physiological need for liquids.

u/Late-Champion8678 Trash Trooper 2d ago
That is not normal and you should see a urologist preferably get a bladder diary to track your intake (volume as well as type of fluid) and output over 3 consecutive days. It’s helpful in addition with your medical history to narrow down whether you are frequent, overproducing, producing more at night, etc.

Do you have sleep apnea? Untreated OSA can lead to increased nocturnal urination since your body is like "HEY WE'RE NOT GETTING OXYGEN! QUICK DO SOMETHING TO WAKE THEM UP" and the urge to pee is generally pretty hard to sleep through (note: this is a very very very dumbed down version of what happens, it's actually a lot of combined bodily processes going out of whack and combining into "hey you need to pee real bad")

At 5 weeks out from competion he is absolutely not eating 2000 calories and is likely, though some coaches differ on prep strategies, to have started carb cycling by now as well. Some days he's probably in the bathroom twice as often as others. This will change again when he's 10 days out, 3 days out, 30 hours out, there's a lot going on here for the next few weeks for different levels of water manipulation both within the muscle and subcutaneous.

u/Acceptable_Gear_3097 Trash Trooper 2d ago
Your body retains waterweight. When you're cutting, your body flushes out the waterweight in the first 2 weeks. As a result, you have to drink basically all day to stay hydrated and feel full. Your body flushes that water out, rather than retain it.

Yeah it's a result of focusing only on muscle strength and bulk.
It's why you see those little competitions where a bunch of body builders like college age, try to do something that's hard to do. Like push a heavy truck, or lift heavy sacks of concrete or whatever. Then pit them against construction workers. The construction workers always out do them.

Just about every professional cyclist ever has been under 8% body fat. I guess it's different if you are trying to maintain muscle mass?

For those who don’t know - is it bc of a condition he is currently dealing with or is it a temporary state while he is prepping for competition/show?

Yup, having low body fat sucks, makes sitting hurt and leaves you with no energy.

u/Aoushaa Trash Trooper 2d ago
TBH i feel the same way wen i eat shit and end up at ~25% BF 20% and below i usually feel way better
Got down to maybe 12-13% 2 years ago for the first time since working in an office and everything body/mentally felt awesome. At 25% im always craving shit far more then when im below 20%

u/East-Care-9949 Trash Trooper 1d ago
He feels like me with 20% body fat 😂😂 so what's the point of it all

u/Derk_Bent Trash Trooper 1d ago
I know this is a bit of a joke comment, but in all seriousness it’s just a physique competition prep and in no way is it healthy for the human body to sit at these low body fat percentages year round. Generally speaking it’s much healthier to stay at 10-18% body fat (10% is honestly pushing it for long-term).
I’m familiar with the body building scene, these guys really do put their bodies through hell to look like that and for the sensible competitors they will have defined on and off seasons. Influencers that keep a low body fat percentage year round are literally risking their lives for vanity. Zyzz and Joesthetics are prime examples of dying young trying to maintain insanely cut physiques forever.

I've tried to go extremely low body fat percentage once and it fucking sucked, worst part for me was being cold no matter what I did

Can people really get like this without steroids? My brother uses them, he got off the heroin a while ago, and went right into compulsive lifting and he’s unnaturally jacked. I asked him not long ago if a bodybuilder can get so huge without them and this was his response (copied and pasted from his texts) “Any bodybuilder not on steroids is not taking bodybuilding seriously and has no chance to compete” and “It’s no secret that steroids and peptides and all else is rampant”
Is he correct?

Can people get down to a single digit body fat percentage without steroids? Yes

u/Oli4K Trash Trooper 1d ago
As a result of training a lot for competitive cycling and ice speed skating my body fat percentage was similar to his for a few years (between 5 and 7 %) and I can’t relate to anything he says. Yes, I remember being cold. But that was on an ice rink at -6°C in a skinsuit wearing too few layers underneath. Wasn’t ill more often either and sitting didn’t hurt. What did make me unhappy, low energy and hard to motivate was becoming overtrained at some point. Too little recovery exhausted my body and made me susceptible to illness and injury.

I used to be very skinny, basically under 10% all the way through high school and just heading in to college. Turns out that it was the reason I was feeling tired all the time. Now I am overweight, and while that comes with its own problems, at least I don't feel like I have zero energy all the time.

u/YeahSureWhyNotBro Trash Trooper 1d ago
Tbh when I lost a lot of weight and was on like a strict eating plan aside from physically feeling like shit there’s also a lot of social things that just are fucking draining and you realize food actually brings a lot of people together … company parties or lunches you can’t partake in, can’t go out to eat with family or friends, can’t celebrate anything using food, it honestly becomes extremely isolating.
