Interesting post, but your numbers seem off. By my math, at 6% bodyfat, you could only get to about 117 at 0%. Anything less than that would have to be muscle loss. Either your bodyfat % is higher, or 117 is about as low as you go without dehydrating or losing muscle. I know wrestlers do some crazy things to get their weight down, but don't sacrifice your health. Think longterm rather than short term.
