When I was super motivated in my mid 20s (about 10 years ago) I managed to get to 9% BF / 82kgs, i'm 185cms. Absolute best shape of my life but couldn't stay there for very long, it was just utterly miserable. Was much happier and probably healthier overall when I took most of the restrictions out of my diet, put on a couple of kgs and hovered between 13-15%.
Only reason I got into single digits was because I was doing a bit of boxing at the time, not getting your head caved in is a great motivator! Once that was over I just didn't see the point of trying to stay that lean.
