I’m making the thread because I was wondering how low of a body fat percentage do yall usually go before seeing hollows?

I’m curious because I’ve grown up a bloatcel and I’m unironically the leanest I’ve ever been rn prob 15 percent body fat. I have pretty decent zygos and cheekbones that protrude out however my face still carries some puffiness and water retention. I know I can definitely get leaner but it’s frustrating knowing I’ll have to be 11ish percent to maintain hollows :Pepehand:.

Call me weak minded or undisciplined idc 💢
Should I order some lemon bottle 😏👌 don’t recommend me Aqualyx I can’t afford to be a puffer fish especially with my job I need to constantly look presentable. Sorry for the 2 questions in one!

Honestly need to get my blood work soon, have no idea what my e2 levels r, ofc I assume healthy
There’s a massive healthy range lol you can hold so much water if ur on the higher end of it, also electrolyte manipulation can impact it a good bit

Some people see hollow cheeks at almost 20% some people will never see it , you can’t get a good reference , if you’re around 15% and ur not seeing some buccal hollowing it’s unlikely you’ll have hollow cheeks
I have hollows typically after debloat, for example cardio. However I want to maintain that chiseled look 24/7. Probably unrealistic. Arvids look is what drives me lol
