Even at that point, my abs were not as prominent, probably because I don't spend much time training abs specifically and because I'm not on any PEDs.

I'm currently at 183, which is 12 pounds over that low. Even if all 12 pounds was fat (it isn't), I would still be around 11% bodyfat. But the 12 pounds is mostly water, and some muscle and some fat. I haven't had a real measure for awhile but the eye test tells me I am still well under 10%.

Middle top guy is 8 percent, but keep in mind he is in stage condition in that photo which means he is probably dehydrated. And he's probably on PEDs.

Different people look different at %'s than others. There is a good youtube that shows this.
