Hi Ladies--A Question For You

[topspeed]

This girl I know claims to be at 7% bodyfat . What percentage do the figure models usually run at and what percentage do female bodybuilders run at?

Shes not a fitness model or bodybuilder or any of that.

Thank you

ps--I am calling bull---- on her claim

Typical for FBB is 6-8%, figure 8-12%, Bikini I suppse 12-15%.

The thing for the above picture is not that she's not carrying fat, but rather, kinda no muscle. Since "bodyfat" is a ratio of lean muscle mass to bodyfat, a very thin person can have a higher bodyfat number due to little muscle.

Not even close to 7%

would get better idea if could see legs and butt

I am guessing higher than 15%

most peoples bf claims are complete bullshit! and calipers are usually way off. People may have told them they are x bodyfat so they believe it but if they had hyrdo, bodpod or DEXA they would be in for a rude awakening
