Rain in Ninja Assasin is having a 6-8% body fat
I have been asked not to be too "cheong hei" (long winded - having too long an article in my blog) simply because those interested in keeping fit may not be able to hit the gym if they read too much :-)
If any of you interested in knowing the term "RIPPED", "SHREDDED", "Super Lean", "Lean" as in body fat %... I had made a search and found the following scale for your reference. It may be vary compares to other school of thought but it's good enough to understand, knowing the objective and direction we are heading.
RIPPED = Shredded, whereby Super Lean = Very Lean.
Muscle Body Fat Rating Scale:
WOMEN:
Competition Shape ("ripped"): 8-12%
Super/Very Lean (excellent): below 15%

"Ripped/Shredded" body fat levels were not meant to be maintained all year round. It's not realistic and it may may not be healthy, particularly for women. The average guy or gal should probably aim for the "lean" category as a realistic year round goal, or if you're really ambitious and dedicated, the "very lean category." ..Don't worry we still can eat Pizza, Coke and McD :-)
You'll probably have to hit the "very lean" category for six pack abs. Just a quick note: You're not destined to get fatter as you get older, but in the general population (non fitness and bodybuilding folks), the average older person has more body fat :-)
Just remember another note of mine to those who is chasing for a nice abs: the bottom line is that there's no "perfect" body fat percentage where you're assured of seeing your abs. You will probably have to hit the "very lean/super lean" category for six pack abs (however, they are very subjective actually. For e.g. at the moment, I am in "Lean" cat yet I can see them..).
Til we chat again about fitness... To Fitness and Leaner You!

ReplyDeleteAs a personal trainer for years, most ppl fall into "fair" and "poor" category. It's something we need to change. We change it by starting doin it ourselves first!
