I would say your BF% is slightly above 10%. I am sure you see abs when you flex or suck in. .But relaxed I don't think you can see them. Thats why my guess is slightly above 10% By any means your still really lean! You may even be 10% who knows your defenently not over 13 - 14%.

16 inch arms is not bad at all at your height, they look pretty big on you. Your forearms are pretty big. Your quads don't look too big in the pictures but ill take it from you that they are 26 inches.. thats pretty big.. Looks good!

The only thing that I see that needs work is the lats and traps.. Your deltoids chest arms legs abdominal area looks good!

Let me start off by saying that you look great. How did the trainer measure your bodyfat? I would just go to GNC or anohter health food store and get a good set of calipers and measure it yourself. This way, you can track your progress.

You can get good ones for around $20. I know there was an old thread that had a link to amazon.com where there are a few nice ones. I would try typing body fat calipers in the search on this site and you should be able to find so good info. Good luck.

He's around 13%. And you can if training properly as well as eating (I'm a big purveyor of the non 'it's 90% diet', it's not, it's 60% at most) you can gain around 2lbs per week still.
