Hey guys I bought a bodyfat caliper and measured myself and it says I'm 15% but I'm not too sure since I've seen photos of 15% and their abs show through more than mine when flexed. Is it possible that I hold more fat in some places like my stomach more than others? Because I've noticed my back looks more defined than other parts of my body, I can attach leg shots if needed.
Cheers!
I'm 5'8 @ 187lbs
Waist size 34

You look more then 15% to me. More like 18%. Not that i would know though. I wouldnt worry about what your bf% is anyway man just keep eating healthy and training and use the mirror.
