Muscle building at lower bodyfat levels

Would it be harder to build muscle at a body fat level ranging from say 6% to 10% rather than something like 10% to 15% ?

Personally, I want to get lean and stay lean, but want to still be able to build muscle.

So, is it more difficult to build muscle when at a lower body fat %
 
Hey I started a thread similar to this a bit earlier on, check out some the replies they may be useful to you. From everything Ive heard its easier to gain muscle while at a lower range 8-12% and harder at higher % 15 etc.
 
You will tend to put on more fat as you get bigger. For instance, I got from 105lbs to 155lbs in a year without putting on much fat, but people I've trained with tend to have to put on more fat when they are bigger than 100kg
