> Michael Phelps I think is at a 5% body fat
No way. 5% is well below optimal for athletic performance. At 5% you’re looking at developing health problems. This is the range bodybuilders aim for on stage because they care about looking shredded more than they care about having joints that work.
Phelps was reportedly 8% when he won all those medals in Beijing.
