Depends on the kind of physique you are going for.

Point of reference: Male Bodybuilders are around 5% BF contest condition.

Most "Ripped" males 8-10%

SOOO many variable to be specific... if you were hydrostatically weighted that's probably not bad. Calipers ... yes, alot of extra, would be a way to put it.

No, 23% is not a good body fat for only weighing 154 pounds, in matter of fact its not a good bf for anyone in my opinion.

I try and never go over 10%, I am bulking now at 8% and every night I feel fat, bloated, and heavy....granted, I'm only 170 but it aint fun.....23% is ery high....just work on your diet and cardio and it should come off pretty damn easily....it doesnt get really hard until you hit 12% ish......

 

[poysyn]

Are you sure thats right?

At 5'8" and 154..you must be all fat and no muscle my man..

I'm 5'8" and when i was at 20+% bf i was in the 180s..im in the 10-12 range now and at 150ish

I bet he used some body fat calculator where you put in your height and weight. I really doubt your 23% body fat.

Tiny_t, how did you get you bf measured? Method?

 

[Lifterforlife]

I got this from my gym, this is their standards they use to evaluate folks...

Men
Low(very lean)...under 11%
Low(lean)....11-14%
Avg....15-17%
Fair...18-22%
Unhealthy....22+%

Women
Low(very lean)....under 19%
Low(lean)...19-22%
Avg.....23-27%
Fair....28-35%
Unhealthy....35+%

Again, not my figures

23 % would mean you have 33 pounds of fat roughly. That means you would have to weigh around 140 to have a six pack, which is disgusting.

Why do you doubt it, more than half the adults in the US are over that figure
