(0:34) - Question 1- What is the ideal bodyfat?
-Ideal bodyfat for men: 10-20% is the best health-optimized range. In this range your hormones will be optimized, you have stronger insulin sensitiity and lower risk of health issues.
Ideal bodyfat for women: 18-26%
For Men Under 10%/ For women under 18% isn't sustainable for 99% of people. Worse pumps, energy, immune system becomes so sensitive and irritability is super present.
-Higher than 20% as a man or 26% as a women, You will feel horrible and there is no need to bulk above these ranges. The higher your bodyfat raises, the higher your all cause mortality raises.
