There's this generally sort of accepted or pervasive thought that 10 to 20%

body fat for males and like 15 to 25 percent body fat for females that is like

the kudagra that's that's it and if you go above that then somehow you need to

stop immediately about face, you know, and cut back down.

Or if you go under that, you know, something, you know, as bad is going to happen to you.

And I just want to say those are as useful

as the strength training standard tables.

Like, you know, they published, oh, in general,

if you're an intermediate lifter,

here are the numbers you may you know come across just

based on that's based on experience and if you're an advanced lifter here are the numbers you're

going to have a certain body weight that doesn't mean that you're an advanced lifter, you might get that at an intermediate state.

And so these body fat things, they all need to be taken into context of, well, what is your waste?

What is the rest of your health picture look like?

What's your normal like body

fat set point so a person like me for instance I'll walk around at 15 to 17 percent

body fat all day every day that's like my normal as long as I'm eating and

training you know and not doing a very elevated amount of conditioning that's just

my day-to-day if I want to go down to 12% or 10%, I'm going to have to perturb my

training situation and my dietary situation to make that loss of body fat occur,

which is going to compromise my strength training.

I'm, it's a trade-off, right?
