I'd take a guess around 15%-17%, but it's hard to say as it can look very different on different people. 10% is usually the no-flex abs benchmark.

Take a look here: http://forums.johnstonefitness.com/show ... hp?t=31392 - it's a thread with a lot of different people at what they report their bodyfat percentages are.

The weight you lift does not equate the muscle you will be gaining. Either compound or isolate will give you good muscle gain as long as you ensure each muscle is properly exhausted per workout. Personally I am more in favor of isolate exercise but I do use some compound exercise to hit spots where my usual workout wouldn't reach.
