He was definitely <10 I've seen pictures. I'd say around 8%. The difference between 5 and 8% aesthetically is pretty massive though. 5% is the kind of body fat that is not really maintainable without serious drugs and dehydration techniques. Models will drop to those lows for photo shoots, but no one can maintain that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etsen3 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 3 hours ago, taxi said: Those measurements are never accurate. Not a chance he was that low, unless he was juicing. At those kind of levels you get seriously negative affects to your ability to perform sports. You would also be visibly a lot more ripped than E. Kane looks. It should however, be taken into account that the professional sports off-season drug testing is a sham. So it's possible he rolled into a camp coming off a cycle at a very low BF percentage. There is no way, however, that he competed in the NHL for the entire year at 5% body fat and was natural. Looking at current pictures, you can see in his face, that he is nowhere near 5%. At those levels, you begin to see veins visibly sticking out of the neck and going into the jaw. Same with Seguin, claimed he was 3%. Probably wasn't lying, just got an inaccurate reading. 3% would be freakish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably wasn't lying, just got an inaccurate reading. 3% would be freakish. That came from a sports illustrated article. It was definitely not right. I'm not sure if it's even possible to attain 3% body fat, and if it is that would be the kind of thing body builders do for only a few hours at a time. The leanest body builder ever was Andreas Munzer, who might have reached that 3% mark...he also used every drug imaginable and died of multiple organ failures at age 31: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreas_M%C3%BCnzer During his autopsy they found almost no body fat beneath this skin...also various tumours and ruptured organs. So yeah, Tyler Seguin was not maintaining 3% body fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of evidence for the notion that guys who do steroids have the same mental illness as women with eating disorders, only the body ideal is different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my first few months of working out, I definitely added 10 lbs of mass to a 5'8'' frame, and I did not have the help of professional trainers. It can be done.

Always funny to me how the head and face look so out of place on the body. It's the only marginally altered part of the anatomy in male bodybuilders. now women on the other hand. Wow.

Took some advice from a 30 year gym going OG recently. Switched to about 3-5 exercises with 5 sets per exercise. Definitely noticing improvements with this approach.

Switched to about 3-5 exercises with 5 sets per exercise. Definitely noticing improvements with this approach. I switch it up fairly often from less exercises/more sets to more exercises/less sets. A lot depends on how I'm feeling that day energy wise, how busy the guym is, & what my routine has been lately. For instance there's days where my arm/chest routine consists of bench, wide grip barbell curls, & preacher curls for 5-8 sets, other times I'm doing 3 chest & 3 bicep exercises for 3-4 sets. I keep the cardio the same, but at a relative intensity keeping my heart rate in the 140's. Sometimes less resistance keeps my heart rate there, sometimes more.

What any individual needs is dependent on their specific physiological and genetic makeup. Things like natural lung capacity, fast twitch fibers, length of muscles, tendon strength, etc... will all dictate what works best for you. The only way to tell is to experiment and gain experience.
