Guess my % body fat anyone???

zonaguy03 · 04-28-2007, 11:08 PM

I am trying to get down to around 5% body fat...this is my first week of ironmagazine dieting and interval training. Please take a guess where I am currently at in terms of body fat %. Thanks!

Hard to say by looking. Around 12% or so...

I'd say a bit lower since his abs are showing a little bit.

Yeah, I guess so. I have had my abs showing at around 12% before though, and I've read stuff from others saying they had some ab visiability up to 14% (I think it may have been Cowpimp), but it's just a guess. It's hard to tell because it's going to depend on that person.

Im going with extra cardio, keeping the diet going.

Well you should not be that far from your goals. You already have SOME ab visability and that nice cut in V look. Once you lose some fat and get everything toned up a bit...

Vortrit, I know what you mean. I've seen people at around %15 with visible abs, hard to believe but true. I think it was one of those wrestler guys.

I've had these upper cuts for about 6 months now. I have been noticing that my lower abs doesn't look like I have that beer belly type after im done eating a meal like before, and i have been on the 6 small meals a day plan, but the last week ive learned so much here that i have drastically cut down on my sugar intake. Also been with the interval training which works like a dream, so my goal is to get down to about 5-6% by the end of next month, so i believe i will keep up the improved diet, and maybe double up on interval training a day (1 hours worth instead of 30 minutes).

Just because abs "show" doesn't necessarily imply a low BF %.

What is the key then if not BF% for my lower abdominals to show?

It is the key to lower your body fat. He just said that a abs showing don't always mean someone has low body fat. Some people can have a somewhat high body fat, and have ab visability.

Oh i see.
