Abs mostly genetic ?

Right, troll on mate.

 

Just not enough activity round here :dead

 

Here is thing that gets to me.

About two years ago when I got married, I had a travelling job and had to eat my wife's cooking and was under a lot of stress, so I got fatter and less muscular.

I got up to 138 POUNDS. This is ten pounds more than the pictures you saw where I was ripped up. If I was already at 10% body fat, that extra ten pounds of fat at 138, which definitely was not muscle, I wasn't working out at all, would have put me up at almost 20% BODYFAT! at 5'8'', 138 pounds. No f-ing way was I at 20%, the calculations don't make sense.

Now that I am working out I am back down to 132 where I like it. In this pic I was somewhere between 136-138 lbs, as you can see, my arms, shoulders, chest, and neck all shrunk and I gained fat. But if I was at 10% at 128 pounds, I would have to be near 20% in these pictures from the calculation. Could that really be right?

115 pounds at 5'8! Wow there could not have been an ounce of muscle on your body at that height and weight. Unhealthy for sure!

 

In college, the boxing team trainers made us run more than two miles as a group all the time, and that kind of stuff just wasn't for me. Just from the sparring, bagwork, and the consistent bleachers and distance runs my weight melted off, and I couldn't lift then consistently because I was afraid of "tightness" and honestly fatigued from our scheduled work outs.

I walked into the program at like 124 or so pounds (I had been weight lifting right before and had gained some muscle on my frame) and in a few weeks I was consistently weighing 115-118 no matter how much I rehydrated. I lost a lot of my appetite too, definitely not healthy, but I could still fight. I'm telling these guys it had to be at sub 4% level, I was losing both fat and muscle.

 

measured my body fat today and im -6%...pricks

 

My body fat % is so low, when I walk into a crowded room everyone else gets leaner and more ripped.
I have to do shots of olive oil and spray myself with Pam just to prevent death.

 

Pamm, two M's, that's where the confusion was?
Pan?

Step Brothers reference.

What the **** is that?

 

vegetable oil spray, I like to stay slippery.

 

I don't think there is a lot of difference from your other pics, certainly not 10%. Where do you pull this 4% from? If you want to believe you were 4% for your vanity then go for it. I don't really understand all the pics, I find it a bit strange. Sure when I'm jumping into the shower I might take a few seconds to check out the fine physical specimen that I am but I've never felt the need to grab my cellphone and document it Why don't you become a bodybuilder and go all out?

 

dude the difference is weight. This last pic is at 138 pounds, the muscular ones are at 128 pounds, the really thin one is at 115 pounds. ten pounds is close to 9% bodyfat on a small guy. I am fat in this last picture, definitely over 10%, but at 128 lbs I'm just not. And like I said, I am not at 20% fat at 138 pounds.

I don't like the bodybuilder's look. One can be narcissistic without being "fit for nothing".

 

Weight lost or gained isn't much of an indication for bodyfat percentage, if you lose 10 pounds or gain 10 pounds it's never going to be just fat. At 138 there you are not fat in the slightest, probably 10-11% bodyfat. I really can't say that there is much difference from your lighter pics, you're straining to tense in your lighter pics and you're relaxed in the 138 picture.
