    I've read it a million times but I keep losing it. I'm sure a few of yis will enjoy reading it though!
    It's a great reference article I think.

    And... I reckon I'm around 14-15% at the moment :P

    Edit: Just realised how great the site is too, loads of useful tools!

    Oddly enough i think he looks best at 20%!!

    Anyone remember when Hanley got down to some outrageous % a few years ago and he probably looked better in the before photos!

    I rate you at 639% BF :P

    He looked great at twenty, looks like the aul' Texas Rattle Snake from back in the day! It's amazing how when people get close to single digits they get this new tan, I'm pretty sure that's what causes the hair to fall off their chests too. Damn sun!

    Lmao, Hanley looked good with the low BF%. And he only lifting sugar bags then so he'll be a monster next time he does it!

    Ps. and if he was lifting sugar bags I'm still lifting tea bags :P

    Lookin' at the guy when his BF is 20% again, and I reckon his gut sticks out a foot in front of him. So the picture lies!

    sorry female fitness forum readers

    [sleaze] Oh she's a 10 I'd say[/sleaze]

    But back to the OP, I wasn't too impressed by the pictures under 10% at all, I don't know if its the tan or what but he doesn't look as lean as I thought he would with 6% bf

    I think he looks best at the lowest bf. I wonder if that's a condition of the sport I compete in (it would be rare enough to see someone compete in MT with > 10% bf).

    Also, enough with the dribbling there lads. :P

    This link is better but more related to bodybuilding:
    http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=214711

    Generally pictures are a decent guide but there are often big variations. I am fairly lucky, I hold 14-16% but look leaner than I am, then I know bodybuilders who don't even have visible abs till they hit ~10%. Alot comes down to genetics, some people get ripped fronts and fat backs or ripped torso's and soft legs. It could be a good idea to do a sticky where people post pics and they are put in a bodyfat % section.
