bad to have below 10% body fat

I got measured at my health club.

They used those pinch measurers on my chest, stomach, and thigh.

I was 5.6%, which I'm proud of but it's going to be a ***** to get weight off for fights.

remember: muscle & lean body mass hold & drop more water than fat will so you're actually at the best advantage. sweating it off before a fight shouldn't be a big issue.

Rich Franklin from the UFC weighs in at 185 and is around 215~220 come fight time- he's like 6'2 or 6'3 and maybe 5% bodyfat.

Too little bodyfat and you can have joint problems. The fluid that lubricates your joints and contributes elasticity to your connective tissues, is essentially fat. Some athletes with very low bodyfat have had connective tissue and joint problems.

You're a boxer, not an AF model. Eat smart, work out hard; don't worry about your bodyfat. Your body will do what it's going to do.

u also need a lil fat to grow lean muscle
