Stats: 350lbs at his highest weight. 6’5"
Obviously most people on this site would claim he is simply too fat as if he doesn’t have any muscle on him.

We can’t get a shirtless pic?!?!
This reminds me of the thread where some douchebag was calling some bodybuilder fat and was comparing him to your old avatar (the cartoon in sunglasses one). Anyone remember what thread that was?

The shirtless pic is the point. I’ll get to that later.
He doesn’t look to be any lower than 20%.

But what if his abs are showing?

Yes…abs showing at 18-20% bf are impressive!
i’d say under 10%.
I’ll post a pic up in a bit see what ya think BF wise.
For the record, his name is House. “Big House” to be specific and he is a body guard for celebrities when he has the chance. He’s trained in martial arts as well so this guy isn’t out of shape at all. He’s just fucking huge.

Looking huge, prof! I’d say 18-20% bf, but I’m ready to be astonished by the shirtless pic![/quote]
That’s not me. This guy has about 60lbs on me.
lies. It’s like Jim Wendler saying he isn’t the EFS Troll.
I was going to say low to mid 20’s based off the first pics…wasn’t expecting abs. I would put him at mid to high teens now. Everything I have read says 6 pack around 10%.

There are at least a dozen women at my gym who do, but I’m in Manhattan, so they’re probably actresses or models.
Aren’t girls naturally at a bf level higher than guys because of their, uh, boobies? [/quote]
I read somewhere that women can lose their menstrual cycle if they have a body fat % less than 10% but can gain the menstrual cycle back if they go back above 10% (again different form women to women).
And X that guy is huge I thought the first pic of him was Rick Ross lol. My guess is he’s 14%-19%?

The real point is, most people claim you can’t see abs until you hit under 10-12%. It is as if they don’t understand THAT WE ARE ALL NOT MADE THE SAME. I have seen people with CLEAR abs at over 15% body fat. This guy is doubtfully under 20% but his body doesn’t store fat in that area the way it does in many others. That alone may be why he was able to bulk up and gain that much muscle in the first place as opposed to everyone else who panics and does a strict diet every time they lose an ab.
Your NUMBER doesn’t matter. What matters is first what you are comfortable with when gaining and then how you look in the mirror.

Dude, you are so missing the point.
Everyone’s comfortable with a different level of body fatness. And people look different at different BF%s as well.
I guess I really am the wierd one, but I preffer the way most bodybuilders look in the off-season compared to dry and peeled. Unless I compete, I don’t plan on EVER getting that lean. There’s just no physiological purpose.

I agree. I could care less who on this forum calls me “fat”. I like the condition I am in now, for one, because I am strong as shit and actually fitting into XXXL shirts that are tight on your arms is cool as hell.
I am dieting now just because I want to see how it looks, but honestly, I like off season condition better and don’t fear carrying extra body fat.
