Getting shredded or under 8 percent body fat can cause some negative side effects. This video reveals the ugly truth behind shredding, cutting, and extreme weight loss. There are also tips to get shredded and deal with some potential side effects. Whether you're a bodybuilder or just a regular person on a lower-calorie diet this video will help you understand the process your body will go through when cutting. Getting shredded is associated with ripped-looking abs, defined muscle striations, and an attractive physique that turn heads. But there are many costs that come with getting shredded that most people don't realize. Some of these are actually really negative effects that nobody likes to talk about, so in this video, you'll find out exactly what comes along with getting your body fat percentage low enough to be considered shredded and how to avoid the negative effects. First, you have to realize that even though people that are considered shredded look extremely muscular and strong you're actually very likely to get weaker as you drive your body fat percentage further and further down. There are really only three exceptions to this rule. So, If you re relatively untrained or a beginner, you can maintain or even gain strength simply because your muscles and nervous system aren t adapted to lifting weights. If you're taking steroids, which I do not recommend, but if someone is taking steroids that could potentially negate big strength losses because you ll maintain more muscle as you cut. And the third exception is if your workouts or your form sucked beforehand, but now you fixed it you can gain strength simply as a result of performing your exercises more efficiently. Those three aside, there s no way around it - losing weight and body fat tends to go hand in hand with losing strength. This is because of two main reasons. First, reaching a state that's considered shredded means that your body fat percentage will most likely be lower than 10-12% as a male. This low body fat percentage tends to pair with muscle loss. That's what happens even if you train and eat right as you cut down. The second reason essential boils down to the fact that mass moves mass, even if the increase in mass is just fat tissue, simply because it improves leverage during movements. So, when you re leaning down, don t be surprised if you aren t able to maintain the same strength levels as before. The goal as you lose body fat should be to maintain your strength as much as possible because that helps you prevent muscle loss. But know that you probably won t be able to negate all the adverse effects entirely. Another issue nobody wants to talk about is libido which will very likely go down. When you re dieting to get shredded, your testosterone levels will drop, and, as a result, your libido will also take a hit. This is because when the amount of calories consumed is lower than what the body needs to function, it will shut down or slow some non-essential functions in order to save energy for the more vital functions. And reproductive system activity is one of the first things that slow down when this happens because it s less important from a survival standpoint compared to let s say beating your heart or sending energy to your brain. On top of that, when you're in a calorie deficit, your body will view that as a form of stress, which leads to an increase in the levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Research shows that when those stress hormones rise in the bloodstream, testosterone starts to drop pretty much dose-dependently or in a 1-to-1 ratio. (1) Interestingly, in a one-year case study on contest prep for bodybuilders, it was found that testosterone levels fell to one-fourth of their baseline values three months into the six-month preparation period. (2) Fortunately, the testosterone levels did recover after three months of a recovery period which included an increase in calorie intake. But there's no denying that strenuous dieting will lower testosterone levels and, reduce your libido. Next is nutrient deficiencies. Even though shredded people may look healthy from the outside dropping your body fat lower and lower will leave you more likely to develop nutrient deficiencies. There's no way around the fact that if you want to get rid of body fat, you need to be in a calorie deficit. In the process of creating that deficit, there will likely be many types of foods that you ll have to get rid of or at least reduce your exposure to significantly. For example nuts. They re highly nutritious, but they re also loaded with calories, which is why you won t be able to eat that much of them if at all when you re trying to reach a shredded level. Another example is meat. When aiming for a very low body fat percentage many people will resort to only eating lean meats instead of fatty cuts, which can make it harder to rea

I currently shredded (8% fat percentage) and have been in a calorie deficit for 2 years. It's definitely super unhealthy. My bowel movements are slow, my stools are an alternation of diarrhea and constipation. I haven't had an erection for months and libido is completely gone. I also have dry skin, a strange white deposit on my tongue and my hair has become thinner. I have also developed massive body dysmorphia and am constantly dizzy. I'm currently doing reverse dieting and have gone from 1400 calories to 2000 calories but I need more time before I feel better.

Also for the ladies when you start getting to that lower body fat percentage, your hormones are out of whack which doesn t just effect your period, but may resemble menopause. Think hot flashes, night sweats, random water weight gain, and fatigue at weird times. But you look great lol

I do not know if you read the comments.
At 8: 30 You mention Movement Efficiency increases but then you stated: You lean against walls, slouch and drive vs walk. This seems contrary to what I would expect from a more efficient body. Would you explain this. Thanks,

When I was buff in the mid 90's, not rip or shredded like him, I would get constant weekly muscle cramps in my upper body, like my chest & back. It's not as painful as cramps in your leg though. Once I'm no longer buff, the upper body cramps never occur again.

Outstanding video and great quality too. But yes, I had med issue years ago where I barely ate for months, then ended with no food at all for 5 days. Ended quite badly, but after the fact metabolism eventually came back to normal. Now, it's the same it was 20yrs ago.

I really like your videos. One of the ways that seems to work for me when I m shredding, but not trying to lose much muscle, is to take HMB with L-Lucein while i m cutting.
