14% bf?
I got measured by one of those machines you hold out in front of you to test body fat. I'm 6'0 196lbs. It claims I am 14% body fat. I thought that was a lil excessive. Pic quality is bad because its from my phone but it gives you an idea. Thoughts?

i would say 11 maybe 12% seems to be what most are saying. im ok with that. im goin for 205 at roughly 8-9%. im lookin to hit 205 within the next month and then well see where my body fat is at then i may have to gain a lil more and cut so i can get around where i want to be.

Nice. I'm in the same boat. I want to be around 175 then cut down to 170 and be under 10%BF. Good luck.

ppl hold fat differently - base an estimate on the entire photo, not just his abs
