Is 15% Body Fat lean enough?

So I'm currently 15.3% body fat (I'm basically in the middle of a cut) and I can definitely see my Abs more but I don't think it's that impressive even though I've been told that I look more shredded.

Do you think 15% can be considered lean or is it too high body fat?

My objective is to achieve 10.5% Body Fat.

    15% is pretty damn lean. 10.5% is like magazine cover ready without camera tricks. It's only a few points off of stage ready where 200mg of sodium is the difference between looking like an anatomy chart and being almost blurry to look at

      15% is not lean. At bare minimum 12%. 10% is your basic abs. 8% is your magazine abs

        12-15% is lean enough to see abs. Most professional athletes are around this range and you can see their abs. 12% and under would be hell to maintain.

          The anime character in the OP is 10% and that's the type of abs everybody wants. 12% isn't going to cut it if you really want to have abs

            Why do you think professional athletes have high body fat percentage? And why don't professional bodybuilders maintain 10% body fat year round? You lose performance in training moron. Also affects mood and memory and brain function.

              None if us are professional athletes
              >why don't professional bodybuilders maintain 10% body fat year round
              None of us are professional bodybuilders

              I don't give a frick about arbitrary lifting numbers. I only want abs. The numbers mean nothing. A 2pl8 bench or a 1pl8 bench doesn't matter as long as I look good

                At your weight the difference between 12% and 10% should be like 5 lbs...

                Based on your height around those lockers you're under 6ft. You might be 160.

                Bro you're fat. 15% at best. Lose some weight and then you can claim "it's hard to maintain" right now only thing that's hard for you is keeping cheeseburgers out of your mouth.

                >~12%
                oh it's a typo
                >~21%
                Fixed it for you

                Add 3-4%

                like 155 kek

                Damn all pretty close, I'm 158 but you still haven't posted bodies, so your opinion is irrelevant.

                My experience with being leaner: last year I was leaner, wrestling at 142, I barely ate and wasn't loosing weight. Eating around 2000 calories a day

                your refusal to post body says it all
                it's joever for you
                you should just balloon up to 40% body fat, maybe you can get rich doing a feeder fetish onlyfans like nikocado (who is your spiritual brother)

          It only becomes hard when you go around 10%. 12% is what you see some teenagers in high school sit around with no effort at all due to a faster metabolism during their post-pubescent development.
          >Most professional athletes are around this range and you can see their abs
          Source? Women will skew the results upwards if you're just citing an average since they have higher BF% in general. If you're concluding from what you believe 12-15% should look like, then you're likely mistaken.

    Does your face look lean though? Do you have visible 6 pack abs? That should be the main objective.

    A pro soccer player (mid fielder) has, on average, 13-14% body fat. Do you really need to be much leaner than that? Ask yourself.

    LOL, how do you know? Did you get a Dexa scan? Not even the machine can give that accuracy.
    Back to your question, get as lean as you want but we know 12% is the healthy limit. Beyond that it's just suffering.
