Is it possible (or likely) to have 10% body fat and still not see abs/have stomach fat? I look like the picture on the left, visible ribs when I flex but no abs, and as lightly pot riding stomach when I am not flexing.
I don't think you realize how lean 10% actually is.
You should have abs at 15% and below.
>>36777997
I had a 7 point bf% measuring twice last week.
They said i was 12%, and that the reason i dont see abs is 2 fold.
>1. Lift more
>2. My fat deposits are genetically around my lower abdomen. Which is common in men.
What bf is the pic on the left? how the fuck do you get rid of those disgusting love handles
>>36778047
Heres a week later after eating beans n feeling bloated.
>>36778047
more like 16%
>>36778073
>>36778047
You don't lift, therefore you require to be much leaner to see your abs.
For someone who lifts the following percentages hold true for most people.
15%
>abs
10%
>veins on abs
5%
>grainy veins on abs
For a non-lifter such as yourself with very little overall muscle mass - You'll need to hit 10% or lower to have visible abs.
>>36778047
breh that's 16% at least, also listen to your own advice, lift more
>>36778074
Thats what i thought, but i really just dont have leg fat, honestly.
All in the torso.
>>36778100
>>36778096
Obviously i need to lift more. Im dyel. Just started on st. Pattys day, less than a month ago.
>>36778047
>7 point bf%
kekked
>>36778131
7 point bf% reading.
Not 7%.
12%.
W.e., believe me or not /fit/, i had the reading done twice by two separate petsonal trainers.
I have no doubt that unbeknownst to you, the type of abs you want are only achievable through steroid use.
>>36778047
Lol
>>36778145
still wrong whats your height and mesurement arround your navel i will tell you your bf%
>>36778219
6ft 0.5in
Idk, i had them do the calcs.
>>36778272
(-_-) mesure arround your stomach at your navel
>>36778272
if its more than 33" then your more than 15%bf
>>36778047
> 7%
How did you get to that conclusion?
>>36778284
I dont have a caliper on me you dumb nigger, or one of those seamstresses measuring tools either.
The fuck you want from me
>>36778316
get a tape measure and run it arround your weist
>>36778315
L2 read.
12% with mass mostly on hips and lower abs.
It was a SEVEN POINT READING, where they grab SEVEN points of your body to get an accurate body fat reading.
I had this done twice by 2 personal trainers (not mine, they just weren't assisting anyone att), and both times it came out to 12.
>>36777997
You don't have enough core strength/mass yet.
Do some cruches or something.
Buy or make an ab wheel.
you actually have to do ab work before you get them
>>36778096
Well this is completely bullshit. Fat storage is 100% genetics and you can be 15% stronk and muscular as fuck but still have flabby stomach.
>>36778333
utter bollox your not 12% there is atleast 13% in your head.
>>36778342
>spot the fat guy who thinks he's 15% at 20%
Op here. Don't own calipers, but my electronic scale says I'm 9.5%. I knew it was probably way off and not very accurate, but a lot of my buddies who are into bodybuilding say I'm probably close to 10 and how jelly they are. Honestly I'd rather have a dad bod with a decent chest than this auschwitz beer-gut bullshit.
5'9.5, 151lbs post-poop.
>>36778357
Im 2days out, im pretty sure im leaner than you fag
>>36778434
Post a picture with a timestamp.
>>36778451
Sure, after you post your body. Cba wasting my time for /fit/ warriors.
>>36778422
Sorry, reposting pic, unflexed.
>>36778475
Fuck me sideways, one more try.
>>36778482
And one flexed, not like it makes a difference, but you can see more of my ribs, and there's at least an outline of something.
>>36778482
how much food you on?
>>36778499
I eat maintenance at least, because I'm pretty much always at 150lbs and hardly gain or lose any. The biggest I've ever been was 160.
Captcha related.

Have you tried picking up heavy things and putting them down again?

>>36778333
I'm siding with anon here. I'm dyel af and I had a body composition scan done and I'm 9.9% bf. No abs.
>>36778510
you need like 3000kcal
>>36778499
>>36778510
And by that I mean probably less than normal. I've tried to count calories and stick with a 22-2500 a day, but figured out very quick that I can barely get 2000 in a day.
>>36778513
I do. Not anything special, but I do.
>>36777997
It's very possible with low amounts of muscle.
>>36778497
OK let me tell you your problem: You are literally like an anorexic guy, trying to cut harder and harder to see "abs". Guess what? You don't have abs because you have 0 significant muscle mass to speak of. Clean bulk until you are 10 kgs heavier, cut for a few months and then come back.
>>36778549
Bro I can't even dirty bulk, how would I possibly bulk cleanly?
>>36778549
And I'm not trying to cut. I'm not even that concerned with abs. My question was just of its possible to be lean and not have visible ab muscles.
>>36778575
well, I already answered that for you. Yes, it is possible, because you literally have no muscles.
>>36778564
What do you mean you can't. Quit being a cunt. Just buy more calorie dense foods, such as e.g. nuts and potato chips.
>>36778497
THANK YOU SKELETAL
>>36778549
I'm 5kg heavier than him and 2 inches shorter. Calculators tell me I'm at 10%. 10mm stomach, 6mm chest and 20mm thigh. Don't see abs yet either.
How fucking huge do you have to be, really? Even girls can get abs.
>>36778713
>Even girls can get abs
This, tbhf
>>36778316
Dude, they aren't asking you to use a caliper, use a tape measure and measure in inches around your navel.
Its a somewhat accurate way of measuring bodyfat. Navel measurement divide by Height
15% bodyfat will give you like 45-46% here (or .45-.46)
>>36778575
This is actually somewhat genetically dependent. It's almost like we are all not exactly alike, fucking nuts right?
Some people will have abs show up without working out at all at around 12% bodyfat. Some people will have to hit core and ab exercises and be 10% before visible abs show.
>>36778713
>Even girls can get abs.
women store fat around their legs and hips, men around the stomach (esp. lower stomach).
>>36778926
I also notice that alcohol and beer especially seem to put weight in those areas.
At what percentage do I have to be to have abs without flexing?
>>36778988
>>36778460
I don't have anything to prove on an anonymous cantoneese soda pop enthusiast image board.
