    When the abs show is going to vary from person to person. It also depends on whether you're talking about a totally peeled 6 pack or a blurry 4-pack that most people think is a 6 pack.

    I first saw mine at 22%. It depends on where you store fat.

    totally depends.

    Also, many estimates of BF% that people have are just estimates. Not that many people get dexa or bod pod scans and even then there is machine inaccuracies.

    So the best BF% is the one that you obtain to see them.

    And also, there is more to life than having abs FWIW :tongue: Like being strong and stuff.

    I'm just under 12% and I only have the upper four poking out. Do weighted ab exercises so you grow the muscles and can see them at a slightly higher BF%.

    Mine have lots of volume from heavy compound lifts and I lose from my thighs last. My upper body looks leaner than my lower.
