That pic is an OK gauge but it can also be misleading. I've had guys who were fairly lean up top, easily in the 12% range just by going by the top but when BF is actually measured they end up being over 15. Lower body has to be taken into account. Granted, most men hold most of their fat in their upper body. Personally I hold almost no fat in my lower body but everyone's different.

Agree with this. I am the same way. Most of my BF is lower body........specifically my penis!!!

I understand. It makes buying pants extremely difficult.

For those of you "holding fat in your legs" it usually just means your legs muscle are under developed and your legs look soft.

I don't know, that could be the case sometimes but not all the time. I had one training partner years ago who struggled with lower body fat, not common in too many men but it's where he stored it. Anyway, when shredded down his legs were pretty solid, better than average while a lot of his upper body was weaker in development. Anyway, I would suspect this is more of a hormonal issue than anything else.

I see someone is still practicing their positive affirmations? =)

I think I'm between 14-18%. The electro scale says 14.5

I'm 6' 1/2" tall and 209lb. Small bone structure.

Be easy on me I just started cutting two weeks ago.

Also finishing up my creatine, so I'm holding some water I think.

I'm all natural so far. And have been training for three years.
