How large is your fat pad?

[Limp Lenny]

I don't have my exact measurements just yet, but it would be especially interesting to see the correlation or lack thereof between body fat percentage and one's fat pad. In the past I have been down to 4% bodyfat and still seemed to have at least some padding down there...

average should be around 0.4"

I suspect that the average across all ages will be much more than 0.4". I too had a fat pad of over .5" when I was much younger and at or under 12% body fat, so it is partially genetically-determined.

And even if you keep your body fat percentage at a low level, as you age the subcutaneous tissue of your abdominal wall will shift closer to the earth's core (along with your wife's or girlfriend's breasts).

My fat pad is about 2cm, which is approx 0.8"...Fairly slim build wise weighing at 73kg at 5ft 7 or8 tall.

Mine is exactly .5

Reduce the fat pad plan on doing a lot of cardio expecially walking.

I'm curious about this, as my fat pad is barely .5 inches, really pressing hard.

I thought it would be more...

Are you a skinny fuck? RedBear is right that the fat pad gets thicker, and old men's balls, and women's tits, etc. sag lower and lower to the core of mother earth, as they age. So do their ears and noses. Unfortunately men's dicks do the opposite. They just shrink. So our goal here, good men, and women, is to fight mother earth, time, and gravity, with all our hearts and souls. Whooohooooo!!!

Mine seems to be about 0.2", I would say I'm around 7% bodyfat currently. I've been down to 4% before and still seemed to have little padding there...

Mine is 0.2", i'm around 10-11%bf.
You have to have at least some FAt pad even with 4% bf, essential fats man.
