I've been rocking bear mode for years, and I'm sitting at 210lbs at 5'9 and about 20% body fat. Heaviest I ever got while trying to stay around 12% was 180lbs.

I have borderline low blood pressure at 17-20% now, and I had borderline low blood pressure at 12-15%. If you go really high of course you might have problems, but around 20% for someone who regularly exercises is not going to hurt you.

@artv4nd3l4y

Blood pressure is also tough to measure accurately, and the body can take time to normalize. I'm not saying anyone is wrong, I just know at home checkers are not fit for medical diagnosis. 95% accuracy is pretty impressive for the price of the units, and yet that's absolutely enough to give you false readings. Of course I don't know how you're measuring, just sharing information. There are free testers at many department stores also, I would imagine these are pretty good.

One thing I'd add is muscle doesn't grow as fast as people think. If you eat too much you get fat you don't really build muscle faster by just eating more. Been there done that.

I actually much prefer how I look with a higher bf%. What's annoying though is that I'm really limited by the fact that I store so much of my body fat in my lower stomach area.

Visceral fats are bad due to proximity to internal organs. Subcutaneous fats are ideal and there is evidence that regular strength training maximizes this form of fat distribution.

I'd like to get to 20% one day, a long journey. Hit 29.4% last week, no longer in the 30's.

I want to stay leaner because all my fat goes to my lower stomach and love handles which makes me look and feel like crap. Being leaner around 12% bf makes me look better which makes me feel better

When you get a bigger upper body, those love handles are less noticeable

Wonderfully comprehensive and wholesome discussion. I loved this.

Love this take! Thank you for spreading a positive message that helps people live not only healthier, but happier lives

Been hovering in the upper teens BF % last couple years and have to say, making the best gains since my 20s. I was chronically underfed throughout my 20s and didn't have a lot of quality training years. I was a chubby kid like Dr. Pak, lost a ton and got skinny for a while, and then stayed too thin for too long and it killed my gym progress. I've made better gains on maintenence at higher body fat than when I used to hover around 12-14%. Maybe it's hormonal or due to overall increased energy intake since my LBM is also so much higher. I do have some love handles, but the extra mass I'm carrying still gives me a strong V taper. I carry most body fat in my low back and glutes, so when I start getting any noticeable belly I know it's time to slowly cut or recomp.

Great duo

Love these videos Omar! Would also like some training videos please!

The content, the video edit , and the end is amazing jajajaj

To be fair, there is some screwing with the bodyfat "associated with the least mortality" as critically ill patients tend to lose a significant amount of weight before they die (and therefore drag up the "healthy" range).

Totally agree thus the "terms and conditions apply" mentioned. Also, body-fat was not presented as a sole variable on the video tho papi chulo. What was mentioned was that if you're consistently engaging in physical activity while keeping your waist circumference in check (~ 0.5 waist to height ratio in cm), you can be at a higher than what's considered "good" in the fitness world (eg: 20%).

Dang those edits going crazy!

I like to stay between 15-20% because regardless of looks, my work capacity goes to shit at 20% and higher.

Bulking and cutting with some maintenance phases in between has worked better for me than just being at maintenance most of the year. Even if I was maintaining at a higher BF% I believe a long term dedicated bulk and cut approach is better. Not taking bulks and cuts to the extreme is important and a person can still be satisfied with their food intake and hunger.

Okay but yes sometimes you need someone to crush you with their entire bodyweight for emotional regulation purposes and it's important they be heavy enough to accomplish that task. It's about mental health. Zaddy ❌ human weighted blanket ✅

Spitting Facts

20% makes my pecs look waay worse than when my abs are somewhat visible. Zad bod only looks great in clothes, not in swimshorts.

You post this mere days after I switched gears from a bulk to a fat loss phase 😂

Appreciate the video! & totally agree with it, yet what about women?

Time to start bulking

My first thought with that study would be that are we looking at the BF% of underfed individuals living in poverty with lower health care standards? Not entirely sure of the purpose of this video other than to say it's okay to be a bit "chunkier". But Dr Pak is literally saying he's always been a chunky boy, so no shit he feels more comfortable there. Whilst other guys will be skinny bros who can happily sit ~10% BF and feel fine.

Iv just seen your video about your elbow.Im 43 now,had elbow pain since i was 35,not barbell benched or overhead pressed since.Jist couldnt as it flared my elbow off,had a huge lump on it,xrays showed i had bone growth over what looked like a broken bone(not idea how id ever have done it) plus 3 bone spurs in it.Had surgery,on my way back now,i can only do chest presses with Dumbbells now,hammers stregth equipmwnt helps loads aswell due to the grip angles.Iv tried to bench press but i think its a mental thing now expecting my elbow to just give up.

Really a great video, but one important point seems to be missing here : You can actually lift heavier when you gain some weight and it doesn't have to be mostly muscle for that matter. You don't have to take my word for it, but power- lifting experts like Dave Tate and JM Blakely will tell you that every ten pounds of extra bodyweight comes with a tremendous increase in overall strength levels. It should be clear that if you stay within the right rep ranges for hypertrophy but you can use more weight, muscle gains should be on another level within the same time period as well... 💪

Healthy perma-bulk with cardio, GPP, and occasional cuts too resensatize to growth In other terms GET YUUUUGEEE

At 15-23% body fat you can gain muscle at maintenance calories, its better than bulking and cutting all the time, especially heath-wise

Would love to bête dr pak about body dysmorphie and to overcome. It

anything above 15% and my face gets way too fat, i'm willing to sacrifice a bit of muscle for my leanness

ZADDY MODE!

Im a fan of beer mode. Bear mode sounds cool though

40% during winter

You gotta embrace the big.

If you train, lift, cardio, sports, etc., paired with proper diet and rest/recovery/sleep habits, then a man can often be very healthy at a fluffy 18-22%BF 🐻 🐻‍❄ 🧸

Buff Daddy

I’m 29 years old and have been training since 16 years old. 90% of my training career has been focused on building/massing. Finished up a cutting phase after a 3 year hard bulk, now I’m the leanest/strongest individual in all the local gyms I step into. Ride and get comfortable in the bulk. It will be well worth it after years

I usually like to bulk from the low teens to the high teens. Approaching 20% joint issues get worse, and I feel like my t levels take a hit. Probably depends on the person bur 20% is counterproductive for me.

Yeaaaaa my waist is almost definitely going to be getting close to that 1/2 of my height mark if I were to go to above 20% BF, my body prefers that 10-15% zone. I'll also add I honestly don't buy the P-ratio data based on personal experience as well as others, I do think it's better to start lean when gaining muscle than already being at a higher BF%, just my opinion though not dogmatic about it as others may have different experiences.

Not to be confused with the Sad Bod :D

Problem is guys at 25-30% BF will convince themselves they are like 18/19 procent

Great video The visuals gave me a headache The first 30 seconds gave me an epileptic seizure

Oh boy

Interesting last point raised by Dr. Pak. I understand maintaining at higher bodyfat is probably easier and more sustainable for an average guy where fitrness is not the first priority. However, is it really going to be better for gains to maintain instead of bulk and cut?

Depends on how much of that time you spend doing what. If you're mostly cutting and then binge for a bit, then maintenance would likely have been better. But dedicated, effective and long bulking phases will be better than maintenance, surely.

I know it's killing my gains but I can't go back to my sloppy form. I actually perform WORSE when my form worsens because I feel miserable about myself.

Interesting formula there... so at 5 ft 8 inch I should have 34 in waist... I am slightly past that. But yeah, I think trying to maintain low teens % or less it is hard to gain muscle

bearmode 4 lyf

My problem when I get to the lower bf ranges is my face hollows out big time. I look like I'm on death's door or something. All my family and friends preferred me bigger. Wish I could keep the face fuller when I lean down.

Im Not a fan of Perma cutting or bulking. Id say cut and bulk from 10-12%bf to 16-17% u pretty much will Build muscles without losing Ur abs

Ah yes, I remember the days when I would keep telling myself this and would bulk up to 23% body fat and get insulin resistant as hell, with nearly the whole surplus just being stored as fat, and then I'd have to go on a long ass cut to get back in shape, which was additional time I could have spent growing. Never again, true athletes stay conditioned year round. This is advice people tell themselves to justify eating a bad diet / fun food, burgers and fries (I know because I used to be the exact same way). The ideal body fat for growth is 8-15%, but for naturals its more fair to shoot for 10-18%. I'm also 12-13% right now and still technically building muscle; it's slow, but any progress is better than none, I'm still growing all year (the trick is low volume and frequency, high intensity and progressive overload)

I prefer an aesthetic physique with slow increments of strength over every type of lift. 20 percent body fat is good for a recomp. I feel that focusing on performance is good for people who enjoy mainly that. Mainly I workout to look great outside the gym. Ultimately the pendulum of ideal bodyweight shouldn’t swing to far each way. Too fat is a no go for most people. Same with too shredded.

I prefer Bison Boys, but I suppose I can deal with Zad Bod lol

Bear Mode 24/7. It's never been a negative. Also, he said DADDY, not Zaddy. C'mon bro.

BBM is the nickname for bear mode you were looking for

Irl most people don’t struggle with being too lean it’s more of an internet thing most people I see in the gym are around 20%

10:15 iykyk

Performance > aestheics

Cut to 10% BF lean bulk to 18%(or less if preferred)BF and repeat, keep it simple.

Whyd you have to bring my back fat into this.... Time to cut

All the jacked abs poking out stringer guys struggling with 225 for reps. My fluffy small 5 11 230 lbs ass using their 1 RM as a warmup. Lol I enjoy being healthy and a little extra bulky than jacked, veins popping out and starving all the time. Granted, if that’s how YOU enjoy looking then more power to you. I know there are guys ripped and strong but my body type doesn’t seem to enjoy that.

Real ones know that sex is much better when you're skinny, but since weightlifting is better than sex, it's better to be higher body fat 😎
