'20 AL ATH Damarcus "Dee" Beckwith (Tennessee signee)

He was definitely under 8%. Pretty sure he was at 5%.

Remember, this is what he looked like at LSU. He was nothing but muscle coming out of college.

Doesnt look anywhere near 5%. 5% is gross looking lean. Shaq looks like a normal 18 year old in his build in this picture. 5% is freakish.
 
Y'all are putting too much stock into how muscular people are. It's not a measure of "buffness".

It's much easier to have 5% body fat at age 17 or 18 than it is at age 30 or 40. You can be at 5% body fat as a 17 year old male and not look anything like those body builder pics. At age 35, it's very difficult to get under 12% body fat, but at age 17, if you're athletic and lean, you can be at 5% body fat pretty easily. Likewise, a 17 year old with 13% body fat could be out of shape, while a 40 year old with 13% body fat could be super-fit.

Here's a chart laying things out and this doesn't even include 16 - 17, which is what we're actually looking at.

Like I said ... I was at 5% body fat when I graduated high school and I didn't look like a body builder at all.
Ideal body fat is important. Everyone is different but for me anytime I got below 4% I became lethargic.
 
Everytime I get below 4% if I go swimming, I sink and drown.........

Just for reference... only seems fair to include the female chart for body fat.

I will choose whichever stage my wife is in. I don’t think she could hit Da’rick levels if she ate McDonalds every meal, though. We would probably be having some tough conversations if she got that unhealthy.

Just throw her subtle hints like calling her by food names. Hey hunny buns what would you like to eat tonight, or Sugar would you like me to tie your shoes(since she cant). Or hey dumplings if we get Beckwith, Evans, and Wideman that would be just gravy, and icing on the cake.
