At what BF% is your stomach flat?

[JamesHowlett]

I just want to be at the BF% where my stomach is flat, meaning no overhang or lovehandles. I also want good mood, hormones, performance in the gym, etc so I’m not trying to get ripped.

What would this be? I’m guessing around 13-15% BF?

 

[Deleted member 16133]

12% for me

8% for no face fat

 

[Korea]

at like 14 - 13%

Then you get abs at 12 - 10%

 

[beau]

It depends on your fat distribution

 

[MrProper]

Generally yes, that range, but a fat distribution also matters. BTW, It would be interesting to hear if anybody got a local fat reduction method (cryosculpting, lasers, off-label Kybella) done on their abs here (ideally you have to be in the low bf range, of course).

 

[nidus]

I’m at around 14-15% and my stomach is flat

no abs though

 

[thegoat]

I still had love handles at 14%. Idk what do u think?

Gonna hit 12% in a couple months if things go to plan so well see what thats like

I was at 11 according to calipers and I had love handles too. I do store nearly 0 fat on my legs though

That pic looked like 12% or below due to the abs so 13-15% should be sustainable for you still.

Did you used to be fat as a kid? That usually means you have a higher set point so low bf% is hard to maintain

 

[volcelfatcel]

If you're indian it's over you need to get to like 12% @SubhumanCurrycel

Sub-15% is important for everyone, but I guess even more so for ethnics.

No it's specifically indians more than anything since we've evolved with famines in mind.

 

[Deleted member 16944]

Not possible for Indians. You all have shit-tier body genetics and seem to have lobe handles at practically any weight

 

[Moggedbyevery1]

Just get to 15% bf, should have visible abs at that point

Have u ever had visible abs?

 

[Deleted member 17174]

12% to optimise life

 

[thegoat]

yep always. Chubby

 

[JamesHowlett]

yep always. Chubby

Explains why it was so hard to maintain

Yeah I’ve had visible abs but not a 6 pack.

Happy to have a flat stomach with just slightly visible abs. I can then still feel good and progress in the gym

 

[kalefartbomb]

I mean you will have love handles anything above 10%, since lower back fat is almost the hardest spot to reduce. But a flat stomach is probably under 15%. Keep in mind people who eat a lot of fiber/plant foods will struggle to have a flat stomach due to poor digestion. Maybe only for a short time after they shit.

Fairs, just the flat stomach is fine so 13%-15% sounds good.

Yeah I get bloat due to poor digestion, do you know what specific foods cause it? For me I know that flour deffo does

 

[Romeo1111]

12% for me

Is that more about genetics and how fat is around the body?

 

[Cigarette]

depends on how your body stores your fat and where. for men, its usually on their chest, love handles and belly

Yeah the range you mentioned, what bf are you now? 18%?

 

[JamesHowlett]

Probs 18-20% tbh, judging by my stomach.

My shoulders and arms look aesthetic as they are naturally leaner than the rest of my body but I have a belly and lovehandles. Not noticeable in clothes however because if I suck in it pretty much disappears.

If there’s that much discrepancy between sucking in, could it be something else that’s pushing my belly out? Apart from my stomach I don’t look fat everywhere else.

if u wanna lose weight:
fast
eat under 750 cal
EC stack (ephedrine and caffeine)

I’m losing weight fine atm, no offence but your advice is horrible.

I have a history of obesity and fasting makes me binge later. Also I want to keep as much muscle as possible.

bro thats why u EC stack, no appetite and youll lose weight like nothing on it. Binging isnt a problem if you get into the proana mindset like a lil teenage girl

12-13% Bhai.

Are you fat Bhai?

I thought you're a UK slayer?

 

[Aesthetics_III]

14-15%.

a four pack will appear under good lighting at 12%.

Six pack will appear at 10% when flexing

ideal bodyfat range is between 10-12% for both face and body. anything above 15% should be considered obese.

 

[JamesHowlett]

12-13% Bhai.

I go up and down, when I’m leaner I look way better and can get girls but atm I’m on the fatter side so I don’t even try to slay.

You could try stomach vacuums to make your waist a bit tighter. Or it could be the way your spine is shaped thru sitting all day for example, causing the stomach to stick out more when standing.

You'd fully ascend if you rounded to a fitness model physique due to your frame bro 100%

Yeah my job is very sedentary tbh

I’m gonna try stomach vacuums, would it make a difference to my relaxed stomach? I know it wouldn’t remove fat but would it essentially make the difference between relaxed vs held in stomach smaller?

All I’ve gotta do is focus on bf% + body and I’m good

That would be a cheat code lmao

I’d fighting them off with a stick if I went out in Birmingham with a muscle-fit T and that body

Yea so they say it makes your resting tone tighter over time. Worth a go got nothing to lose!

 

[Chadethnic101]

Literally, those are roids tho could be worth it? Natty route it's so hard to be that lean with size, unless you are 13-15% by which face could have more bloat.
Would still get success probs, but the pic above is cheat code life will change for you.

Yeah 13-15% would be ideal, it’s leaner than I am now so face would look good. Also ideal for muscle building and will have a flat stomach, i aint gonna touch steroids
