I’m a rather avid follower of Dave Tate and he used to think the same until he got bloods back that showed he was having some serious problems with his health because of his diet.

Pretty good read.

I’d also like to point out that with say a squat you’re squatting 80% of your bodyweight as well as the bar weight. Better to be lighter and put more weight on the bar!

Right now im around 11-12% bf, but its easy for me to maintain 10-11 year round. Best bodyfat is the lowest you can maintain without sacrificing any strength. Which for me is 10 to 11. Powerlifting and strongman are two totally different competitions. Different events, different lifts, different rules.
