Hello, I'm curious to know what my measurements will be if I'm skinny 8% bodyfat. I know that my goal body is 8% bodyfat weighing 189 pounds being 6 "2 height 34 inch waist and 18.5 inch neck which is very muscular. What will be that if I was anorexic/skinny instead of muscular?

Everyone is different so no way of knowing. Not to mention aiming for “anorexic” is not healthy.2

Average body fat % for men is 18-24%. Men’s health magazine (grain of salt) claims the “ideal” is 10%. Your goal is 8%?? That will be extremely difficult to obtain and then equally difficult to MAINTAIN. Is there a reason you are aiming so low?6
