baaaaaaaaaaaaallllllpark is 10% and under, but it depends on the build and also measuring BF% is less than exact, unless you have a hydrostatic weighing chamber. I'm probably ~12% fat right now as I'm bulking and you can see the top 4 abs, especially if they're tensed, but the bottom is kind of too covered at the moment. And having good core strength is important if you want really blocky abs.

i believe these are women. They also store fat in the breasts.

My bodyfat is definitely under 10%, I work out every other day, eat pretty healthy, wear 28-30 in jeans and dress pants, am 6' 145, and I don't have a six pack. I have slight definition, but definitely not a six pack. Some people got it, some people don't. I'm sure if I killed myself at the gym I could do it, but I'd also be a lot bigger everywhere else, which is not something I want.

this annoys me aswell.. im close to 6´4, 180, broad shoulders, but since i used to be fatter when I was a teen, i still have some excess skin on my lower stomach that effectivly prevents a really defined stomach. The upper abs show a bit, but nothing serious either.
