Not many will be at or below 15% either.


Mine is 19%, at 170#, that means I'm seven pounds overweight. That pretty much jives with what I see in the mirror.

I would add that, if you can do 10 dead-hang pullups, you can most likely skip the body fat percentage, as that'll be the first thing to go when you get too heavy, unless you are one cock-strong SOB, and in that case, it probably doesn't really matter anyway.
