Does anyone have any input on this?


Having an extremely low body fat % is defnitely not healthy just like have a very high body fat %. The vital organs need fat to function properly.

Amateurs should definitely not try to get their body fat as low as the pros as we don't have the daily doctor follow-up and frequent blood analysis. Just ask Ulrich, he regularly puts on 10-15Kg in the off-season!

One year I dropped my weight from a fit 76kg for 1m83 to 71Kg. Sure my musles and veins were showing and I was climbing great, but I was feeling like crap and had a constant craving for food. It was hard psychologically and I am definitely not doing that ever again!

My legs this past Summer.

Well, can't believe I'm doing this, but here's my 36.02in (inseam) long legs.
And yes. I know. Haven't shaved recently. Not a big priority this time of year.

edit: Copied my legs over to a better looking background for those of you who wants to use it as a screensaver ;)

Thank you Kirke. Yes, and sorry about that cropping. I was suppose to copy those parts for use in a totally different forum, but hit the cut instead. ;)

My complement to yours as well. A beautiful pair of legs that is. I would really like to be that Litespeed of yours! :o

This is so odd. I was clicking around on the internets earlier in the week and actually saw this photo. I have a friend who's a triathlete and by clicking around on his profile somewhere and searching for information about collegiate tri nationals coming up, I found your profile. It said something about being an Apple trend who*e, so I read some of it.

I stalked you in reverse.

Nope that was because of a broken tib fib. This was from the surgery to make my right femur longer:
