Examples of Body Fat % for men. With Pics

Chief_Rocka

Body fat percentage is really nothing to consider without some sort of muscular foundation with it. The lower body fat percentages shown here happen to have guys with great muscle.

A picture, showing 1 guy at varying body fat stages while maintaining the same lean body mass would be a better comparison.

Thanks to OP for thrill of the day! Guys between 10 and 15 is delicious - less is a bit atrophied!

Well to be honest I like the 30% more

Though mine is 19%, right in between the 15-17% & 20-22%

It's her body shape, she carries it well

Yeah I guess so, like Kim Kardashian's body

It's incredible how they look so different from each other

:noway: Could guy number two even get to look like guy number one? It seems like his frame is much smaller but I am probably wrong.

Thanks for the great visual. I think I'll aim for the 20% max and 17% for the minimum. I still want to be a little soft and curvy.

He absolutely could, it would take a couple of years of muscle building.

Pics like these should serve as good guides for people.

Pics like these help make the mental realization that sometimes the answer isn't simply losing more body fat but instead gaining muscle mass.

I wonder if there is a comparison of females at 10-12% with a less muscular version. Would help with my goals.

I think that's a great goal ;-)

It should reduce the number of "I'm 150 lbs, but I want to lose the rest of the fat before I start gaining muscle" threads.

Nah, it won't.

I agree with this.

25% looks pretty damn good to me :bigsmile:

I want to be around 5-6 %

I was thinking 25-30%

If I actually looked like that at 30%, then I would be happy and go on maintenance.

You can't hold that condition for more than a few days. Most guys can't even get to 7-8% without feeling like crap.

Yeah a true 10% leaves most feeling tired, sore, and hangry all the time.

Maybe I will reconsider in that case, (I think I'm around 11-12% at the moment)

A lot depends on genetics, but when you feel your libido take a dip, it's time to sound the alarm.

Not 10-12% but this might help.
