This is so wrong, it's ludicrous. At mid teen bodyfat % you have a slight jelly roll around your gut when you sit down. FYI, the minimum b.f. you need for an effective immune system is around 2-4% bodyfat.Originally posted by JT47319
Mid teens.
People who brag about single digit body fat are morons or don't know how to measure BF%. Even physical fitness models have trouble maintaining single digits and if they do, they're more likely to succumb to sickness since you need a certain amount of BF% to have an effective immune system.
Whatever. Single digits are usually achieved by professionals for competitions and such. Otherwise, normal people saying they have single digit BF% is like people bragging about 20 inch guns or 12 inch ****s.Originally posted by victor von doom

thats the most retarded thing ive ever heard. i run track and all the middle distance and long distance runners have single digit body fat % and they are in fantastic shape and rarely get sick. i know one kid who has 4% and has been sick twice in the past four years. most of the sprinters are in the upper signle digits or low double digits and again they are all in fantastic shape.Originally posted by JT47319

Just because someone is skinny, it doesnt mean they have a low bodyfat. Conventional measuring methods are also inaccurate by up to a few percent.
Usually abs are very visible under 12 percent bf.
