I based my goal on something I read in a post somewhere on here. I think it was a post by Mike (MikeB). I'm sure it stated he wanted to get down to 5% body fat? I asked my trainer what his body fat % was and he told me it was around 10%, but he is in his 20's.
You make very good sense. I will make my initial goal to get below 20% and take it from there, but I am setting myself a target of May.
I am back into weight training again. My shoulder feels fine now but I can still feel it slightly when pressing weight but I am taking it very easy with shoulder / chest press etc...
Thank you both for your advice and infomation! |
5% is what hardcore bodybuilders and athletes might strive for, and that would be a little much. 10% wouldn't be that bad for you as long as it happened from you being healthy (good eating and exercise), and not starving yourself.
If your shoulder is hurting you or bothering you slightly go easy!
