[Guest Cipher]

[Bardissimo]

Mines 8%

[Black.]

6.5%, trying to bulk up a bit ?

[NO SUNSHINE]

6.5% you sure about that?You a high-ranking professional boxer with a fight coming up or something?

[Black.]

Nope joe average out here, thing is i was 7.5 when i did it about a month ago Im gonna do it on Monday again just to make sure im right

[Guest Cipher]

That is very little, I mean I'm 8, and I'm not sure I could get down to 6.5 without looking / actually being anorexicHow tall are you & how much do you weigh?BTW this bodyfat won't neccesarily mean you are skinny, but as NS said, I'd expect you to be a world champion boxer or bruce lee to be like that if you aren't

[NO SUNSHINE]

You would need an extreme diet and exercise regime to get down to 6.5% body fat and maintain it.

If I wanted to be able to just see a six pack, what would I need to be?What about if I just wanted to see four?

if you're over 6feet, and more than 85kg then 10-12% at 15-17% you could still be able to see them but only just and mainly in the morning before u eat.above 18% you'd be lucky, still there wdnt be proper definition anywhere else.best state of leanness would be 8-10% for your height.im will check at the end of this week, but was 7% two weeks ago. some people are at 5% and r not skinny and dont train that extreme.

I went to boots to have a bodyfat test and it said I was 20%.What the f*ck? 20% bodyfat?I'm 6"1 - 12 1/2 stone - bench around 100kg and I have abs. Visible blatant abs. When I look in the mirror and at myself in photo's I look stupidly lean and it's saying I'm 20%! How can I be 20% when my boy who came with me is 24% and he:1. Can't lift half as much2. Is a stone heavier 3. Slightly smaller 4. Is basically fatLittle bit pissed off by it all.

How do i find out

[carpedeum]

subzero those ones are not very accurate. were you given a machine to hold? or stand on a bodyfat machine?they arent very accurate. the one at my gym says i have 12%. the best way to do it is to use a calliper that actually measures the fat around your stomach, thighs and back.

[moverman]

im about 5'11...weigh 12.5st.i do all the football 3 times a wk // upperbody 2 x a week when i go gym but no improvement....only thing i think it could be is my diet..i aint a bad eater and go by strict 3 meals a day...but nothing..i dont seem to move from 12.5st!any suggestions?

Good to know.I'm not saying I'm anywhere near 10% yet but I thought I was more around the 16% mark.

Scared to even check tbh.Ive just started easing into training again. Gave up cigs 3 and a bit weeks ago but I fear my problem is I love lager too much.
