4% is the 'standard' figure that Dr's quote as being the 'minimum' you need to live. Unless you are roiding up or such you won't be maintaining 4-6% region for long or naturally.

Hey just for reference I'd like to know what a 4-6% guy that isn't a BB looks like on here.

Here are my measurements I enter in:

Age: 20yrs
BW: 75kg
Waist:34 (non sucked)
Hips: 40
Forearm: 12
Wrist: 7

I get:

You have 11% body fat.

You have 8 kg of fat and 67 kg of lean (muscle, bone, body water).

I KNOW that isn't true as I do not look as lean as I did in the summer when I was not eating loads of crap and bulking.

@ 12.7% measured on fat scales

I'd say I'm about 15% but still with a 6 pack.

Hey, Koing, nice work on the abs!

I'm showing a bit of abs, but I seem to have a thin layer of fat. Guess I just need to keep working at it. I think my age may be working against me too.;)

I HIGHLY doubt some of you guys (not all) who say you are between 5-8% are actually that lean. That's crazy lean. 10% is pretty damn lean and 5% is half of that.....

how much do the water displacement tests costs? I can never get good results with any tests I try.. the webpage (which is defintely full of crap) tells me I am -2% body fat... calipers tell me 4.8% (I use the digital body track 2), my digital scale (tanita) tells me 17-18% and the hand held model (also tanita) tells me 12.8%.

I am inclined to think that I am somewhere between 12-15% (I hope, at least).

You have 7% body fat.

You have 9 pounds of fat and 121 pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water).

I exercise and run 3-4mi three times a week and that is it. My diet consists of a lot of beef, which helps.
