Hey all I’m new to this site but I figured you guys of all people could answer this question… What does your body fat percentage generally need to be down to in order to start seeing abs? Also I’m a guy with great arms and a big chest yet I still have gut fat what are some exercised to rid my belly of fat?
Er define “gut fat” as in you could be skinny fat or just well fat…
SKinny fat you have to go UP before you come DOWN.
For the other one way it generally goes for people is
10% = All 6 Abs
12% = Top 4 Abs
14% = Top 2 Abs
Bottom 2 hardest to reveal as this is where the majority of the “tire” is held.
HOpe it help.
obv it depends on how well developed your abs are a genetics but i would say to get good defined abs about 6%.

No real exercises to help you get rid of the fat on your stomach, as you can’t spot reduce fat. With that being said, just do weighted ab exercises to make your ab muscles bigger so they are more defined. Most importantly, get your diet in order. I have no idea if it is or not, but that’s the most important thing.
I’m 8% BF and I have no 6 pack. Heck, I can’t even see a 2 pack. Seeing abs is also a function of how big your ab muscles are, but judging by your size, I think you just need some fat loss.

how do you know that you are 8% bodyfat? Did you get that from calipers, one of those cheap scales that dont work, or did Eliteballa come out of your computer, hit you across the face with a shoe and yell “EIGHT PERCENT!”?
hahaha
EIGHT PERCENT!!!

Calipers. Perhaps most of my fat is in the abdominal region and my ab muscles are just that small…

Lol’d at that too!
Man, I can see all 6 boxes in my abs, but I still doubt I’m 10%. So many people have no f-ing clue what 10% really looks like. I’d say I’m a good deal more, more like 15, and again, compared to most gym rats, I’m ‘shredded’, but come on, look at the guys in contest shape who are only 6% and realize that you’re nowhere even close.
