8 PACK at 9% bodyfat?

[RuiBarbosa7]

I went on a bodyfat calculator ,like kind of a weighing scales and got 9% body fat .. Thought to have one i'd need to be down at about 5-6% ?
Is the scales wrong?

[Gladitat0r]

good body! no it can be good, i got 6 pack good visible on 12% fat, best is water measurement at a lab or some where els .

Did u use bodyfat capiler? on 4 points of ur body. if so do it like 4 times, then take the average of the results

p.s What camara did u use? looks like vga

[MSluchia]

Your pretty lean, probs not 9%

[jtbryant420]

Very lean congrats!!! Any plans to add some mass?

[DTVegas85]

very atheistic abs man.

This is always been a big myth that you have to be a certain bf% to have your abs show. It does require more effort for the lower ones to show but it's not based on a certain number.

[nickwannabe]

as already said here, an 8 pack is not linked to a certain number of BF
Many factors influence this... genetics, water, thickness of muscle etc... you cannot state the percentage needed

Plus I do not trust these automatic scales.. They have funny numbers at times
Use a caliper or do a test at a doctor, but the caliper option should work fine

This

Abs show at different percentages for everyone. Just because someone says "mine showed at 12 and yours are close now" doesn't mean yours will also show at 12. It's all genetics

Don't think its that low haha

[RuiBarbosa7]

Nah I think i'm about 8% - 9%

[RuiBarbosa7]

Thanks man , I'm a thai boxer so I have to see about adding more mass , that would mean me moving up on the weight category, Which can be tough haha

[DLEHMA]

Don't think its that low haha

what the hell? You just said you thought you'd have to be 5 or 6% and asked if the scale is wrong... Now you're saying the scale is right and you're actually 8 or 9%?

Anyway body fat% is irrelevant, you're obviously well into the single digits. So if that's what you're looking for people to tell you, good job!

remember being skinny and having abs is the same as being fat and having boobs lol....add some mass not too much but a little more to look fuller but good abs....throw up a better pic for us too....

strongeditingskillz.jpg you look pretty lean. try a clean bulk

[gamoroso883]

nice man. it looks like your lower than 9 tho. id say ur around 7 or 8

[road2aesthetics]

id say your lower than 9% but people carry fat in different areas of their body so all though your abs are really lean the last bits of fat you carry could be on your quads or your back everyones fat displacement is different hence why people can be 12% and have a full six pack still.

[walterCorrey]

fukc you look awesome man

Sounds right , but I always thought the belly would be the first thing to get fat.
