Is it possible to be so lean that you completely eliminate your fat pad

Let’s say someone was 6-8% body fat year round, would that completely eliminate their fat pad? If I didn’t have any fat pad, I would have an extra inch in length.

It may or it may not. It has a function and that is to cushion and protect the pubic bone.

You can use that extra inch if you push up against whatever hole real hard. I always use that last little bit when I grind against the wife in missionary.

I’m not sure what % body fat I have, but I’m 6’7”, 200 lbs. soaking wet, and consider myself to be in decent shape. I still have at least a .5 in. fat pad.

I’m 6’2” 200lb at 10% bf with like .2 of a fat pad. I don’t be do a bp measurement cuz it’s pretty much the same as nbp for me. Idk if this helps but there ya go.

I doubt you can lose it entirely unless you get to bodybuilder ripped, which is impossible to keep up for very long without damaging your immune system.

I was 8% fat about six years ago but I can’t say whether the fatpad was there or not.

That was before PE so I never thought to look.

Yes is is! Guys who practice intermittent fasting Leangains - Birthplace of Intermittent Fasting | Martin Berkhan have achieved this for years on end.

I’ve been doing IF on and off for 2 years, any reason why it helps eliminate the fat pad?

Genetics have a lot to do with it as well. Some guys have more/less to start with.

I do IF as well it has made cutting so much easier. It allies me to eat 2800+ calories a day and still lose body fat. Look into it gents if your interested in the whole fitness thing. Its defiantly not for everyone but its a useful tool for someone who knows their body well and is looking to cut/maintain low bf% (<10%)

The fat pad is just part of the protective layer of fat covering your abs. Lose enough fat over all and the fat pad its self wil shrink.
