When did your abs show?

    Sorry if this is a stupid thread :o

    But I'm just wondering what bodyfat % your abs showed?

    I took an online calculator that I got from a thread on here a while ago and was told I have around 15% bf, atm I can see my top two fairly well. and the rest, not really.

    I'm doing cardio about 5 or 6 times a week and weights 3-4 times a week and my diet is in check, so hopefully, soon enough the rest should show..


    Oh PS, where do you go to get it checked more accurately?? I'm not a member of a gym as I'm only 15, but my brother is, and is allowed guests, could I go with him and someone in there could tell me?

    Thanks! :)

    Everyone will be different but they'll become well defined as you approach 10-12%. The online calculator is virtually useless, there are too man variables outside of what you entered. You should be able to get a caliper test, but there's no real need.

    Know your BF% won't make a difference really. It won't affect the amount of that needs to go or the work that you need to put it.
    I'm not really sure how good an idea it is to try to cut at your age tbh.

    No point in being the strongest guy on the beach. It's 6 pack season, acquire abs.

    It's an honest question OP, but tHeres too many variables. Abs show in double digit bodyfat for some, single digits for others. For some it takes little conscious effort, for others it'll likely be an unobtainable ideal.

    keep training hard, eat well, and enjoy having the Test levels of a horny Silverback. The youth is wasted on the young :D

    Testosterone declines as you get older. You are probably producing your peak test. Use it to get big.
