Does 15% BF = six pack ?

[MR-FQ320]

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 ?

person dependent

person dependent

even when i get high bf% my top abs show for some reason.

Depends on the person. Mine start going away around 13-14%, but Ive seen some guys who carry a lot of excess and still have the lines. General rule of thumb is around 12% Im told.

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.

flexed or unflexed? maybe we should clear that up, cause resting abs does take close to single digits

[dangerous dan]

depends what were meaning by showing, if were meaning just visible id say 11 flexed or unflexed.

Imagaine being 30% and wondering when you dick will start showing... crazy

[Exilus]

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...
