body fat % ??
I do not understand it. I figured I was at least 20 % body fat. I am 5'11 and weight 191 lbs without shoes on... I did a body fat calculator using my waist size (31 inches) and neck size 16.5 inches.. I have done a couple and they say I am 10-12.5% body fat... At what % would I need to be to have killer abs and a lean look.. I want to be able to see the vein in my biceps pop other than when I am working out.. lol... Any answers?

- I think your body fat calculator is messed up. Not considering your other stats, you should be at that ripped stage. But, given your weight etc. I would say that your body fat %age is probably closer to 20-25.
- first of all some body fat measurements are very off the only real way to test it, iz the underwater test. For what u want, you need a your body fat to be around 7-10%
- 6-8%
- If you were at 10%-12%, you would have good abs and that lean look. As for killer abs, most male body builders are 10% or less. Do you work out a lot, are you quite athletic? For someone that is techincally overweight, you have a pretty slim waist. My husband is 6ft1 with a 32 inch waist, 185lb with 10%-12% body fat. He doesn't have killer abs, but is very toned. HTH : )
