i never asked you what my body fat % was, read the question properly!

cant survive without bodyfat dude. anyone below 3% is very very unhealthy! any athlete that says they are at or around 3 or lower is straight lying. sorry. bruce lee wasnt 1%, he was more like low 5s...

I think kessler came in at 5.5% body fat for the calzaghe fight and he was ripped to the bone.
I think if you go below 4% you're going to be in big trouble as your body cant get the things it needs to survive with the amount of food you need to keep that body fat around that level.

i would say i got about 6-7% BodyFat..im 5'10 170lb

i've fattened up for christmas, never measured bodyfat.

I've been at 5.5% before

:lol1: ..and what exactly is your weight/height

i would say i got about 6-7% BodyFat..im 5'10 170lb

yea im 5 foot 9, 164, 6.7% bodyfat. and im pretty shredded so gettin lower than that is straight up crazy, but thats an awesome feat!

when Tyson was 20 he weighed 220lbs and had 5.5%BF. AMAZING

um...so you got a 6-pack right? I ain't trying to get at you but I'm saying sometimes I see people with low body-fat and no abs

If anybody has 7%BF or lower and their abs don't show then something is wrong.

lol exactly my point..

Naah, Tyson was in great shape but 5.5 is something Eugene Sandow would look like. Tyson never in his career looked like eugene sandow.

Anyway, if you are not genetically predisposed to have very low bfp anything lower then 5-6 is unhealthy.

6% bfp is your perfect six pack.

6% bfp is your perfect six pack.

only 94% to go :banana:

I am at 9.5, btw, was at steady 7 this summer but it was rather painful to get there.

only 94% to go :banana:

lol, you can't be 100% either, it's like all of your weight is fat. Even Dino is probably something like 55%.

I had 5.5% and my abs didnt show really

see tuggers...

Then you were not.

Yes, I was.

Then you were not.

some people just haven't developed the core like that, I think. Because it doesn't make sense...

Yes, I was.

Dude, that you were like 12 and your muscles just were not developed enough to be separated. Or you had a high water retention

some people just haven't developed the core like that, I think. Because it doesn't make sense...

Yeah, I think, if you are not a genetic freak, you can only have visible six pack when you hit your puberty.

But I seen plenty of skinny kids, like age 10, with six packs on the beach.

I was 14 or 15

I was 14 or 15

Then you are weird.

How did you calculate your bfp?

i've had a six pack since i was in 3rd grade lol...yea its been that long

There was a machine in the gym. Held it out like a formula one steering wheel,

um...so you got a 6-pack right? I ain't trying to get at you but I'm saying sometimes I see people with low body-fat and no abs

of course man. i got an eight pack in certain lighting. but a clear visible six pack in any lighting, not flexed. anyone who doesnt have abs showing with that low body fat isnt workin out right!!

im 5'10 and 172 pounds 7 percent body fat.

im 5'10 and 172 pounds 7 percent body fat.

wow so you just happen to be the same height/weight as the thread starter..coincidence?

how accurately are yall calculating your bf? i got one of them digital scales where you put in your sex, height and stand on the part where you put your heels on.

it read 138 pounds, 7 percent. are these lil scales even accurate, give or a take a percent or two?

I never had it tested.
What do I need to do?


Once my coach made me hold this small machine in my hand, but it never ended up calculating anything, it was probably broken.

i would say i got about 6-7% BodyFat..im 5'10 170lb

you're massive.

not...:)

**** NO theyre not accurate mine said I was at 22% a few months ago and 1 week later it said 16% so I would have had to replace 9 or 10 pounds of fat with muscle when all I did was sit on my ass. I have NEVER even been over 13%.

I am actually 11% give or take. Ive been eatin too many progies.....mmmm

I think you should stay at around 8-10% bf and not go any more. Although definately go lower for an up coming fight.

lol, you can't be 100% either, it's like all of your weight is fat. Even Dino is probably something like 55%.

I was kidding. :)

I had 5.5% and my abs didnt show really

Yeah but you was probably just skinny. There's a difference between being skinny and having muscle but a low BF%. If all you are is skin and bones then your abs will hardly show, where as if you have a lot of muscle and low BF% obviously they will.

ya lol

im 5'11 193, 17.5 % body fat had it measured with calipers that pinch ur arm, upper back.. love handle and tummy.. so its accurate within 2 %..

i have abs after a workout in the right lighting lol

I didn't expect abs. I was doing a few crunches and was just starting to see em.

um...so you got a 6-pack right? I ain't trying to get at you but I'm saying sometimes I see people with low body-fat and no abs

Like Bernard Hopkins? All fat does is cover up muscle. when you remove it, you get to see the muscle. Just like everything else in the world, not everyone has perfectly symetrical abs. Some people have wimpy abs, some people have abs that look like they are on roids.

Just plenty of cardio as you're lifting weights. That way the only weight you're putting on is muscle weight and not fat

5.5% is very low. Anyone with 5.5% BF will have abs showing, so more likely the number is inaccurate. If I had a dime everytime someone claims to have a BF% that is 10% below their actual %, I'd be a rich man :D

You aint getting no money off me. i think mine is about 16%
