I dunno, i thought they got to 6-7%.
The reason i chose 10% was i was informed 10-12 % is where you start seeing abs coming through. I dont know how true this is.
I agree Jim, don't worry about number.If you look good and your 20% who cares?
You don't need ridiculously low BF levels to have abs shining through.
No one cares huh! I'm not too sure about that. Again, just because your not doesn't mean everyone else isn't. I think 6ft 100kg and 10%BF would look amazing.

Depends on the person..
You may never have visible abs due to loose skin form being overweight..
Just be happy with what happens and dont get your hopes up in case it doesnt. No one gives a **** aobut abs anyway only fairies

Yeah im prepared for the possibility of not having showing Abs due to being a fat bastard. But after being as big as i was for as long as i was, to be able to show people that havent seen me for a while a flat gut/abs would be amazing.
Having showing abs makes you look bigger all over. That small waist line is what the older bodybuilders had going for them over todays monsters in my opinion.
Thats the goal right? Small waist, huge upper body for that V shape. Hehe i wish.
Yeah good advice, its something that i have to keep reminding myself. I have no idea what i would look at 10% bodyfat, hell i have no idea what i would look like at 20% bodyfat. I dont even have a clue what i would be now.
I agree 100% Morgan.
One day i want to get to those types of bodyfat levels just to show myself i can achieve it. Its a long term goal. I dont expect to be there in the next couple years. Something to work toward!
I do regular endurance as well as my weights training for Kyokushin. Im 9.8% Bodyfat at 84 kgs and only my top 4 ab muscles and obliques are visible without tensing. Under pressure the lower abs show, but in order for my lower abs to be seen without tensing I need to do more work on them ie hanging leg raises.
From what Ive seen from people that 10-12% mark with visible abs is about right. Having said that, to make them "pop" and be visible through a shirt they have to work them hard in addition to having a low BF%
Your lower abs shorten the distance between your pelvis and sternum, do reverse crunches instead, Leg raises will work the hip flexors.
Squats are better for fat loss than Cardio
**** abs,
id rather look like this EDIT, when i look like this i wont care about abs..
If someones goal is to look like a bodybuilder doing 5kg cable cross overs it is a retarded goal..
If someone wants to be an olympic lifter and practices with pussy weights for life it is a retarded goal..
If i want to be a powerlifter through training with 60kg deadlfits, it is a retarded goal..
Noobs, i suppose i came across a little harsh & a little offensive. I'm sorry mate. I must say I do struggle with the above comment. I have to say though, that if somebody goal, for example is to be a powerlifter & did 60kg deadlifts...that's not 'retarded'. That's their decision. You, nor Shrek, nor anybody has the right to put them down or call them names.
Would you define the above goals as retarded goals, because their retarded goals? If so, that's a backwards way of looking at it. Are they silly goals because you say so? If so, that's a matter of opinion, not fact.
