Estimated BF?

[DrBones]

Hey guys, I'm trying to estimate my current body fat %.
I can currently see my top two abs fully, then the next two, you can see the outline and the bottom ones are still hidden... I'm guessing I'm between 10-11 ?
Basically a 4 pack when I flex....
How accurate is this...
I think I read somewhere that you should start seeing your abs around 10%.. thats why I picked this number
I'm 5'10 and 177 lbs right now... 2 1/2 months ago I was 197 lbs..
I'm thinking 172-173 would be pretty ripped...
Anybody have any input?
Thanks
Ryan

can't really estimate bodyfat that way...everyone is different. This will only work if you know what your body looks like at different percentages.

Buy a cheap pair of calipers and use them to get a decent estimate.

for what it's worth, i was 11.9% BF and could see a four pack on myself. i'm 5' 8" and was 146 lbs when they did the measurement.
