I'm 16% bodyfat at the moment, so I AM fat.
I'm trying to get down to 6% bodyfat so I can bulk for a long time without becoming too fat (I'll stop bulking when I reach 10% bodyfat, then start cutting to 8%, and doing bulking/cutting cycles of 8 to 10).
Ch'i hand wraps for weight lifting? Ermmm, what are those? The only things I use are wrist wraps and that's only when I'm doing those 315 pound shrugs.
In case you don't know what bulking is, it's a process when you eat a surplus of calories with the goal of gaining weight. Most people hope for mostly muscle gain with minimal fat gain but some people (such as powerlifters) don't care about the type of weight.
