Once a Month Carb Intake, Maintaining Below 5% Body Fat for Years to Achieve ‘Stretch’ Muscles
For ordinary people, being overweight is entirely focused on weight, and an increase in weight represents being overweight, while a decrease represents being thin. However, for those who understand body structure and fitness, it's actually 'body fat percentage' that truly changes the figure.
Body fat percentage refers to the proportion of fat weight in the total body weight, also known as body fat percentage. It reflects the amount of fat in the body. Decreasing body fat percentage is the real way to change the figure. However, weight loss may not necessarily lead to changes in the figure, it may be due to the loss of water, muscle, or other substances, leading to weight loss. Normal men's body fat is between 15% and 18%. High values reflect excessive fat and increase the risk of some diseases.
For those who constantly engage in fitness, to make muscle lines more prominent, they will reduce this value, aiming for a model-like figure. In the bodybuilding competition, athletes often maintain very low body fat percentages, generally around 5% for a striking visual impact. However, this is not something everyone can achieve, it requires strict training and even diet. Sometimes, extreme measures are adopted. Mr.Fiveo is one of those fitness fanatics who constantly keeps his body fat below 5%, resulting in a dry physique that shocks many people.
Everyone knows that fitness is not a fast-paced sport, it's more like an exam of perseverance, and it requires long-term accumulation and cannot be interrupted, otherwise it will prolong the exercise time. He has been persisting for 24 years, never stopping his exercise. He was interested in sports from a young age, started mixed martial arts at 10 years old, and started bodybuilding and weightlifting at 15. Now at 39 years old, he still maintains a good exercise habit.
Today, fitness has become an indispensable part of his life, even a profession. Besides busy training, he will take photos of his daily life or training videos and share them on his social network to share the joy of fitness and educate more people about the body. He quickly gained tens of thousands of fans because of his amazing physique. However, his popularity also brought about many controversies, and his body fat percentage was always a hot topic of discussion. Many people think that constantly maintaining a body fat of below 5% is impossible.
Many people believe that even bodybuilding competition athletes will divide into the season and non-season. During the non-season, they will not deliberately reduce body fat, and constantly maintain super low body fat will damage the body. But it's true, we have to admire his perseverance and obsession. He not only can constantly maintain super low body fat, but also can increase some muscle every year.
Many people may not believe it, but he has been doing it for years. He doesn't just know how to do it, he puts it into action. Many people only know about Kobe and Stone Cold Steve Austin, who train at 4 a.m. He also starts training at that time.
For people with ultra-low body fat, training is only one aspect, the more important part is the diet. No one would like his diet, no junk food is allowed, and every meal is cooked with the simplest methods, trying to maintain the nutrition of the food. Most of the food is protein and vitamins, with very low carbohydrate intake, or even zero intake. Only once a month, he allows himself to consume a large amount of carbohydrates and sugar. During the second day of training, he will choose to train large muscle groups to ensure the greatest training effect.
Among all the training, he likes the arm training the most. He believes that only strong arms can show the charm of men. Below are two of his favorite exercises.
1. Barbell Curl
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, keep your elbows close to your sides, quickly lift the barbell to the position of your neck's clavicle, then pause slightly (1-2 seconds), do a peak contraction, then control the barbell with the strength of your biceps, slowly return to the starting position.
