to be honest mate i dont think 15% is too bad, i wish i gould get up to 15% when bulking, but it all depends how much muscle mass you have gained mate

im too lean all year round imo

What is you BF, it looks low in avatar pic

i hold around 10 to 15% and thats ok

I do think theres a thing about bulking and adding BF......it depends what your goals are but its not really necessary......better to stay constant and add lean weight (MUSCLE) :razz:

well i hadnt measured bf at that time but i would say between 7 9% personally

ive got a pic of my current state,well about 5 weeks ago and i was bulking lol, but still looked really lean

ive never been able to get fat as such, i boil it down to having skinny parents and my super high metabolism of when i was training MA
