"I COULD, but I wanna enjoy life"

I have the fancy armpit muscle at around 15% bf lol

Serratus Anterior, i think.

Don’t get me wrong, this also doesn’t imply you should turn into a ham-beast and permabulk to 25% body fat every winter. The majority of us who are NOT on “vitamin S” or gifted with 1th percentile genetics should spend the majority of our lives in a happy and healthy range of around 15-20% body fat.

Don’t let social media fool you. Whenever you see guys who are shredded and seem to stay that way all the time, there are usually a few things going on:

1. They have unicorn genetics
2. They are EXTREMELY active (triathlons, marathons, etc.)
3. They feel/train like crap and they only do this for social media (business) reasons
4. They are on “Vitamin S”

Igor is the definition of not having to choose between personality and looks

You can be relitivly close, but looking that good feels aweful when you're away from the mirror.

And building strength is basically impossible.

Thanks for bringing that truth to the masses.

A big caveat to his statement is that he is natural. If you’re on drugs, maintaining a physique like that is a hair easier.

It's incredible how the serratus anterior is the only muslce name i can perfectly remember

Me to my grandchildren: “you know, I used to have a sharp ear when I was your age. Could hear footsteps from 200 feet, the birds chirp the coming of a new day, and the heartbeat of my beloved.”

[ryandeffley]

I'm relatively lean year round and it's easy to maintain.

**But I'll also never understand why recreational lifters who aren't physique competitors, fitness models, serious influencers, celebrities, etc torture themselves to be sub 10% just for their own ego.

[darthstarfire]

Yes you can. I did when i was in my early childhood. I had my spin bones sticking out. You can be that shape if youre pretty active. You just love food too much same as me

[bradholtpt]

So relatable right now😶 certainly not worth the trade off

[mandiejonsen]

If you want it bad enough you can do anything

Fancy muscles under armpit ➡️ Seratus anterior

[thecarnager]

He forgot to mention that your strength goes to shit when your that lean

[DryIceyboi]

I have a really fast metabolism and it is really hard for me to bulk up (I gained 20lbs so far) but I am still strong and athletic (just genetics tho)

[jorgenb]

only those that are true ectomorphs can maintain that level of body fat without compromising their quality of life.

[theItalianshamrock]

Brooo you looked great! But no way in hell its worth trying to be that lean all year round

[faure.alejandro]

That muscle is called "the three beans".

[meten]

I always thought the same thing. And then I accidentally (“we have to eat something that is healthy and our kid likes it”) started eating lots of white potatoes… No hunger, tasty, very cheap, lots of energy, very low bf%. Mind blowing.

Igor, my friend, how about you put your body to the test and make a video of that? You know, speed, vertical jump, maybe practice dunking a basketball, how hard you can punch a bag, I think it would be interesting to see the output of someone who has trained for such a long time. Relatively normal body fat of course, for best performance. I would definitely want to see you complete a challenge of that nature
