16.0–16.9
range
Sixteen percent in men typically softens the six-pack into suggestion rather than sharp grooves, except in very muscular ab walls under a pump. The lower abdomen carries a visible layer in profile. Love handles are a small but honest feature on many scans in this band. Arms may still vein up during exercise. The face looks ordinary-athletic; cheek hollows are gone. The lower back can hide spinal erector detail that was obvious in the low teens. Chest muscle still dominates over chest fat in trained men. This is a thickly populated band in recreational lifting communities. Shirt-on appearance is often “in shape” without drawing comment. The step from 14% to 16% is easier to see at the waistband and in a relaxed side photo than in a flexed front double-biceps. Hydration and a salty meal can make 16% photograph like the high teens for a day.
