No, I think this time you're right. Higher estrogen can predispose you to storing more fat on the legs, whereas people with lower estrogen levels tend to store it more around their midsection. Or so I understood. I'm struggling to find an article that backs this up, now that I want it.
damn interesting would like to hear more info i can get down to 8-9% and still have a F***** muffin top and a shredded serratus da faq?

11-12% second picture- well done on the weight loss too 
If you wanted to improve something id say shoulder size- front delts look developed but not the side delts

Think your right there, side delts are lagging, been working on them quite a bit, think my lats are a bit small too.If you wanted to improve something id say shoulder size- front delts look developed but not the side delts
I'm sure some fat deposits are hormonal? what about gyno? I have the same problem with the muffin tops there's a little pocket of fat that just wont go, I'm below 10% at the moment and they are still there, it's starting to get frustrating.
