    9 to 10% for me is great........ It's easier to maintain as well.

    I'd have to say it depends on the person...some people look ripped at 10%...others don't develop a 6-pack until much lower...

    i'd say good is around 10...i've been there before, but i was 158lbs...I haven't seen single digits since then...but i'm around 205 now, probably around 13%

    Holy shiat....you all are Greek Gods and shiat. I think what most dudes have to realize is that some of you who are at the 8 to 10ish range are well below the norm. What I mean by that is you all have been working at this hard and have an incredible diet. The lowest I ever got was to 12% and that was hella good. So I give you all made props for being below 10%.....but I think dudes have to remember is that 10% and lower is incredible...and needs lots of hard work to achive.....IMHO

    depends how big the person is for their frame. If your 5'9 200 and 8% you look worse in my opinion than someone 12% at 5'9 235.

    LMAO...RON you won't ever hit single BF if you go drinking and partying with me. Cause I love beer and I love lots of it. But like you said who gives a fuk...everybosy is different...just get somehwere where you think is good. I have seen a four pack before...would of had six if I didn't drink all them six packs of beer...lol...anyway, RON we'll get fat and have a great time doing it!
