Hi guys, just a quickie, as a rule of thumb does a six pack = 15% BF (males) or is it person dependant ?
Or what highest %bf for signs of six pack, i mean no 20%bf can have visible abs right ?

Assuming you work them of course. If you do no ab work, you could see little to nothing even @ 9%. Ive seen this on some little sissy kids with rediculous metabolisms but shitty workouts. If you look at my profile pic, its blurry, but it was around 15% and still showed last summer.
OK, so how can i accuratly and conveniently measure my BF? maybe some kind of electronic monitor/meter ? ive got some scales,first i Input my
height:5'10
this gives a readout of
weight 209 pounds
F 29.6
Muscle 35.7%
Water 48.2%
and B 30.1%
TBH cant remember what F and B stand for , i think F is BMI.
Any help ?
my aim through diet cardio and clen and lifting of course is 15% BF
For most guys its below 10% that you start seeing abs. 15% and I'd have a hog-belly.
hydrostatically the best shit just had mine done about 2 weeks ago.
you can do a measurement test . you can google it.
flexed or unflexed? maybe we should clear that up, cause resting abs does take close to single digitsQuote:

Imagaine being 30% and wondering when you dick will start showing... crazy
depends on the size of your abs. its like that with any muscle, really. look at the skinny people that are like 11% BF. do you see their biceps? No cuz they dont have any, while someone muscular at 16-17% will have arm definition....
Hydrostatic had me @ 11% here and I was a fatty...
