The World’s Most SHREDDED Man?!?

Helmut Strebl is considered by many to be the world’s most shredded man, but how does he do it. Walking around all year at a body fat percentage of under 4 percent is insane. So much so, it is not something most men should aspire to do since they will likely cost themselves their health in the process.

In order to get low body fat you are going to have to create a caloric deficit. This will allow your body to burn fat. To create an extremely low level of body fat, you will have to maintain this type of deficit for a lot longer than most. This is not a type of leanness that you can obtain on short notice.

That said, what makes his phsyique that much more impressive is the amount of muscle that he has been able to maintain even at these extremely low levels of body fat. This is where the question of PED usage can come in. It is thought to be next to impossible to carry high levels of muscle while in an extremely low level of body fat.

We are not talking even 5-10 percent body fat, as the ability to obtain and maintain even this slight increase above Helmut’s body fat levels is far more sustainable and able to be done without the same risks to ones long term health.

I like to use an analogy when it comes to getting shredded and ripped. Everyone of us was given an implement to dig with when we were born. This is based on genetics. The deeper the hole you dig with your tool, the lower your body fat will be. Some have been given shovels. Some have been dealt the unfortunate hand to have to use a teaspoon. Helmut, he was given a backhoe.

The idea is however, even the person with the spoon can dig a very deep hole if they are able to stay persistent with their efforts. It will definitely take them longer to get to the bottom, but with consistency they will be able to dig.

Likewise, even in the case of the person with the backhoe, stepping away from the machine and doing nothing will never let them keep digging the hole lower.

Bottom line is, don’t get discouraged by your levels of body fat. They can always be decreased. You just have to ask yourself what level of sacrifice you are comfortable trading off in order to get extremely low. Most people will find that when they ask themselves this question that they just aren’t prepared to give up the things that help them keep their sanity, completely, in order to get to a body fat level that doesn’t even bring them the happiness that they thought that it would in the first place.

Moderation, as always, tends to be the right approach to diet and getting ripped and lean.

That guy is one of the few who can legitimately claim has reached sub 3% body fat.

He’s not just lean, he is dry…this is what BB’s do for stage readiness.

It is extremely unsafe, to make this a permanent aesthetic.

[ShumpyDalen]

The dude is so dehydrated that he looks like he's made of sand.

[davidbihlear]

That's actually scary looking instead of jacked

I can imagine being like that will lead to the quickest biggest bruises, aches and pains just by flicking someone gently.

Andreas Munzer died because of achieving.this look. It is not worth it.

I used to work out at the same EasyGym in Oxford Circus as he did. Seeing him train was so cool, he used to do a lot of stretches in between sets. He was huge.

It's dependent upon age and genetics, guys, not just diet and exercise!! I'm 61 years old and struggling to keep my weight down!! My dad's got a huge gut and his grandfather had a gut and my mom's dad had a gut. My mom's mom had diabetes. Need I say more??

He is one of most hardworking people in the gym. He work on his physic over 30 years with consistency every day since 30 years ago. I've seen him riding his bike to gym and back on a daily basis in South East London. When you see him on person is even more spectacular physic. Old school athlete and training routine. He is best natural physic of all times.

You have to put your life in danger to get close to that.

Being shredded is good but being extremely shredded or lean will adversely effect basil metabolism, immune system and overall health of our body.

[macoyupadoodle]

People are not biologically evolved to be this lean long term.

[AnnaSmith-ol]

You never fail to keep it interesting!

[juliannalawrence]

I saw him at my gym only yesterday. He is still the same.

[jorgedanielrodriguez]

That is Helmut Strebl. He’s a physique competitor from Austria 🇦🇹
