You have fat inside your body around organs. I think you would die if it got that low.

Supposely there is a buffalo bills player that didn't have any or something like 1-2% underwater. I'll ask one of my bro's who it was again. I found it hard to beleive.

About the lowest body fat you can get is right around 2% once you start getting really low bf your body start functioning improperly especially in women...but the lowest I have heard is right around 2.5%

Eddie George for the Titans had 2% bodyfat a few years ago, I saw some special about his training and how dedicated he was, it showed him getting tested in a tank of water.

You have to be a freak to get that low, the average person can't regardless of how much they diet, and drugs they are taking.

2%, you can probably see the blood running thru the veins that low.

Well, my buddy who worked at a phys therapy hospital said that even the tank of water method is still only accurate to +/- 5%, because the water displacement is also determined by how much air is in your body. You CANNOT expel all the air in your lungs, and then there is also air throughout your body, and in your gastral-intestinal tract (hence the farts and burps). So, even testing at 2% in the tank, he still could be higher.

Im only asking cos there was some jackasses in the gym arguing, 1 guy was saying he had 1.75%BF and carrying on(loser) then the next day the other guy was saying he tested himself with some calipers he had at home and that he was 2%.. I tried so hard to block this shit out, but like presser said, you just nod and agree, but at the same time im thinking these guys are wankers.. Then they start posing in the gym.. Thats fucked:angry:

The lowest I was ever was 5.3% I have naturally low bodyfat, but I did a cutter with clen, then when finished still had to do DNP to get that low.
