maybe you dont have lower abs? some just have 4 and then it goes into the V shap hip flexor

tough to say. BF% is based off of more than just an abs shot.

True, though the only fat i'm carrying is my lower abs area.

so you dont have any on your back? or legs? usually when you caliper you want ot get a 5 pinch measurement

Well, the majority of the fat is in my lower ab area

Actually i dont pinch. I dont like those calipers really

I use an Omron 306 Which has great reviews on it, 4 out of 5 stars. I know alot of people dont like it, but for me it's very consistant though -+2/3%. I also use a tanita scale at the same time. I dont think there is anything really 100% accurate anyways.

I check in the AM right when i get up. I go to the bathroom first, weigh myself, then bf check in a fasted state. I get readings of 9-10%

As long as you have the calipers done by someone that knows what they are doing they are quite accurate. If you don't trust the calipers I suggest finding a Bod Pod in your area....either that or hydrostatic weighing but that is harder to find.

I'm with Rugger1, 9-11% sounds about right.

OT, but what can I do to help develop that V?

Scissor kicks, weighted ball twists, side bends etc

OT = Off Topic.

I'm trying to develop that "V" shape. I've got the whole abs thing down, but my "V" isn't quite where I want it. Is that what it's called? The hip flexor? (I know... I should totally know that. :run

Thanks, Rugger.

oh i didnt even see your post thats why i got confused.

 

[faetfiada]

i caliper people at work all the time. i would guess you're closer to 8% maybe even lower... but like was stated earlier, it's hard to tell just on abs.

 

[Distilled Water]

Yea when i folded super lean a few years back my ab fold has me at 2-3% higher than other body parts and I know other people have been in the opposite.

If a knowlegeable person is doing a fold it's pretty spot on. Either way your lean as hell so who gives a ish :lol:

Try an anti cortisol supp like 11-oxo, that will help shed that fat, id say you were 10 percent, im pretty good normaly at judging, as all my family are either athletes or fitness models, so ive grown up with looking and checking fat measurements, you need to do some lower ab work too, but your upper abs are awesome!!!
