I was just wondering if anyone knows what kind of percentage body fat you need to get down to, to get decent definition on abs? not bodybuilder-ripped, but so they show up well?

thanks
 
Well, I only know it from a man's standpoint - males usually need to hit single digit bodyfat percentage to see defined ab muscles. Depending on your genetics, they might show up at 12%...but for others it might not be until 8%.

for women it is higher, as women naturally carry more body fat. Off the top of my head, I think its like 14% or so when they should see abs.

Also bear in mind that some poeple just do not have genetically large ab muscles, and won't ever have a wicked six-pack.
