What's your current body fat %, and what's your ideal?

Currently I'm around 5'9/145. I've never had my percentage measured professionally, but based on comparison charts and methods of measuring it I've found on the Internet, I'd guess I'm in the 14-17% range...last calculator I found (based on waist/wrist measurements) put me at like 15.4% but I know that's only an estimate. I don't have much muscle mass. :yeshrug:

I'd ideally like to get closer to 11-12%, but as I am now I'd look like a skeleton at that level, so I need to gain some muscle first.

Myself. fukk 12(1)!
Current: probably around 13-14%, which is a little low for me... my doctor told me I need to add some fat to my diet.

Ideal: Probably closer to 16-17%

I'm about 5'9", 135 pounds right now.

I'm probably around 10-11...

I'm at an equilibrium though, losing or gaining body fat wouldn't really do much appease me anyways...

Old man belly and side fat makes me think 28-30%

Mid to low teens would be great all things considered.

14 or so. Was about 12% before I started this bulk and going back on creatine. A good amount of the added bf comes from the water i've added since going on creatine.

:flabbynsick:

Mine is probably around 20% right now. 6'1 190. But I'm mid bulk right now. Eating like shyt. Ideal would be 190 with 10-12%. Sub 10 would be too much work for me.

5'11", 180 lbs, 18% body fat. If I can get up to 185 with around 14%, I'll be a fuccing beast.
