    Body fat percentages

    I'm trying to get my body fat percentage down below 10% ideally. I'm at about 12-13 now according to my scale at home. Is diet key or should I try to add more cardio to get that "ripped" look

    Getting to a lower body fat % has a lot to do with proper dieting. Some people are big advocates of cardio/running but I don't enjoy that much. Create a calorie deficit and obviously eat clean (there are a lot of good articles here message me for the diet I use when I want to cut down) and youre bound to be successful... Assuming you've got a good training program, too. Hope this helps!

    12-13% BF? Im no expert, but you look leaner than that to me. Def not under 10, but probably 11-12% BF. I think the lower BF % you get, the harder it is to cut! Its like exponentially difficult!

    Haha definitely agree! I was down to 7% in March but after that I wasn't able to drop any more weight, I was thin and ripped... The hard work is totally worth it though!

    A calorie deficit is the key. You can do that through cardio, diet or a combination of the two (the best option). It's really not rocket science.
