I believe the minimum is 2-5% body fat for males. It is more for females. This is the very minimum you would ever want to have, any less is unhealthy. I think the only way to achieve this low body fat is to be a serious weight-lifter, as that would increase your mass without increasing fat lowering the percentage. I'm fairly certain its impossible for anyone else.
