It is?! Wow, I guess you don't read too many posts. I've seen people post shit like "If Arnold trained bodyparts once a week, he would have looked better" My reply "How many Olympias have you won?!" And you should go on boards where pro's actually post. You'll see 18 year old 150lb snots telling them what they need to work on. I remember when Dante (the creater of DC training), first posted pics on Animals board at around 290lbs, he had people telling him how small he looked and he must not be really 290,more like 250.
My point is, people like to tear others down on message boards. It took guts for Krish to post his pics. Instead of people saying good work, it became more of a debate and flame thread.
You are right at 7%. Look to be on the "flat" side right now (intacellularly) and maybe a slight bit of water weight (extracellular). Definately 7% though....through the top half of the body.
You can be lean at 6-7% while holding a slight amount of water and also usually at the same time that your muscles are depleted making you look flat.
I agree with GJohnson on this one.
Other factors.....no tan
and, lighting of the picture and quality of the picture. This has a huge impact.
This can be easily corrected by increasing carbs for a day with r-ALA and a natual diuretic like Dandelion root. Actually, I sometimes look dryer the day or two after. Get a little tan and change the lighting. Have to keep the vascularity up while staying dry is the key. Maintaining insulin low so as to not increase water retention while having enough to shuttle carbs into the muscles for vascularity.....try increasing potassium.
Looking good man!!!

Actually, i read through the posts and didn't see one person putting him down. Every post said he looked great and lean. When you post up a pic of yourself on a muscle board, you are doing 2 things. 1) Showing your accomplishment and 2) asking for feedback. If someone says, hey nice leanness but hit the tanning bed - that's not dogging him out, that's giving him advice. The difference with Coleman would be what advice are you going to give probably the greatest bodybuilder of his generation? We'd all look silly telling him to do this or that.C3bodybuilding said:

I had a company test me. They used calipers first and I was 11%. When they dunked me I came back at 15% or so.
The guy told me the lowest he ever saw was 4% on a 140 endurance athlete.
He said he had some bber's in show condition come in as low as 10% a few times.
I thought that was odd. He reminded me calipers don't measure fat around the organs etc.
Krishna is looking lean as hell though.
He motivated me to start cardio yesterday!
