    I honestly don't think those body fat ranges apply to everyone. For instance, genetically i carry alll of my viseral fat in my abdomen and chest. At 18 percent body fat i can see delt veins. I'm roughly 13% and have delt, quad, and bicep viens

    Girlygymrat thank you for the thread. The pictures will help give generalized idea of what our BF is without a caliper.

    Research shows conclusively that genetics plays a large role in why some people store more fat in certain parts of the body regardless of whether they are overweight or not. I believe we have all seen some individuals who were noticeably overweight but who still had a pronounced a six pack, while others dieted down to single digit body fat percentages and could barely see their abs. Several studies have researched the genetic nature of such discrepancies in body fat storage.
