I know you go to the beach and you see some young guy with an impressive physique and completely cut up, or you watch TV and movies and see that, or you see some fitness model on a bowflex commercial, or a pro bb'r just before a comp....what you have to realize is while there may be a few people who have single digit bf% with little effort most of the time what you are seeing is a SNAPSHOT. Some guy whose job is to diet down and get shredded for short periods or some young guy who is soon to have nature catch up with him. And he may not ever be fat but I can assure you he won't always be shredded.
