How fat is too fat?

[EnderJE]

I've just finished watching the Biggest Loser and it got me thinking. How much is too much?

12% BF?
16% BF?
30% BF?

I realize that it would be different between a man and a woman, so I'm just talking about men. I say that because I assume that a woman would be +7% higher.

Personally, I'm not too sure. Awhile back, I would of said anything higher then 9% is too much, but then you can't really bulk too far. Right now, I'm at 15% (yep a Fat Bastard), but I can still see part of my abs so it still doesn't bother me.

That and the fact that I'm now taking my kids to go swimming. Jesus Christ.

Take two of me (@195) and you have the next guy bigger then me.

Too fat for myself is over 10% BF.

Well my fav part on a woman is the small of her baCK

back to the topic. 30% = too fuckin big on most people. some peeps can pull it off.

if you want to see 14% just look at my profile pic. i'm content with it for now.

 

[wtlftr]

too fat should be were you feel unconfortable or are at health risks. 20% is average

wtf? nobody can pull of 30% bf. if you are 30% bf you are a big fat fuck

 

[Dial_tone]

I can still see abs at 15%. I'd rather be 10% but it's tough to stay there at age 40 unless you're naturally thin.

 

[GoldenDelicious]

gotta be under 20 really

don't let the turnip truck get out of sight orb.
the average woman is around 23 percent. quite a few women can pull off 30% and make it look good. just depends on where they keep it.

 

[Robert Jan]

very personal. some people can actually pull of 30

if they are good dressers

clothes come off though
for men having fat store underneath the ab wall is better than over....

 

[jackangel]

the OP specifically refers to men only, duhhhh. no for you.

Sorry, but what are you talking about?

 

[gotmilk]

When you are doing it doggy style and you still cannot see her butt-hole?

 

[coldblue1955]

beyond 30% is way too fat!

 

[slickdadd]

beyond 30% is way too fat!

28%??? DUSTY will hit it.

 

[EnderJE]

beyond 30% is way too fat!

i'm waiting for hammy to respond to this one...

 

[chewyxrage]

Around 15% and you still have that "athletic" look. Anything higher and your pushin' it

 

[SAGAT]

i used to be real anal about bf and got tested once at about 6%. we all know those tests are bullshit but it was low anyway. i dont care what anyone says but its near fuck-impossible to grow at those bf levels. so i say it doesn't matter much how high it is as long as you grow efficiently. on the other hand i'd say above around 16 is pushing it, depends on the amount of muscle though. if your gut is sticking out further than your chest i'd say there is a problem.

 

[jerkbox]

i'd say over 15% and you're a little too doughy....

 

[from zero]

For a guy, 15%+ is fatty fat fat fat.

 

[milo hobgoblin]

above 20%. guy or girl.

and some guys dont look that fat at 15%.. especially if the carry it evenly throughout their bodies.

I try and stay at 10-11% year adound and there are times when I still feel fat.
