13.0–13.9
range
Thirteen percent on men usually keeps the upper rectus visible and starts to mute the lower two abdominal segments. A slight rounding of the lower belly can appear when sitting. The waist is still smaller than the ribcage on most trained men, but the sharp vacuum look is gone. Forearm and biceps veins remain after a workout; they may fade at rest. Facial fullness increases a little around the cheeks compared with 11–12%. Love handles, if present, are a soft edge rather than a fold. Lower-back fat is a thin sheet. Legs look athletic if trained, ordinary if not — fat distribution here is modest. This level is common among men who lift regularly and eat near maintenance. Photographs taken post-workout will look leaner than a fasted morning shot at the same DEXA value. The visual gap from 12% is small from the front and more noticeable at the hips and in a relaxed standing posture.
