Body Fat % Estimate thread PTII (post here only)

[stingray72]

Thanks stingray72. I actually dieted down to about 170 for the first month. Then I started lifting weights while cutting down to 152 for another 2 months or so. Then lean bulked back up to 170 over another 2 month period. So I'm guessing I dropped around 30lbs of fat then added 10-15lbs of muscle back on. Hence the reason of only a 12lb difference but a much leaner look. Hope that explains it.

Good job. Am i reading that right you gained 18 pounds in two months? That comes out to 2.25 pounds a week which is 1125 calories over maintenance per day. Thats not a lean bulk thats a lot.

ps....i looked at your pictures again and wow I missed all that added muscle. I dont know how i missed it but thats Impressive. Ill rep you when I recharge.

Well a few things to consider. 152lbs was my absolute lowest and I'm talking about less than 40g of carbs a day. So two days after I started bulking I'm sure I was back up to 156ish with water weight and glycogen replenishment. As of right now I'm 10 days into my next cut cycle and already back down to 163lbs if that helps put things into perspective. #2 I never ate more then 3300 calories in a day while I was bulking but when I refer to lean bulking I was referring more to my macro breakdown not so much my calorie surplus I used a ratio of 35% protein 10%carb and 55% fat except on refeed weekends until about the last two weeks when I went to 40% protein 30% carb and 30% fat because I started to plataue. Also until mid November I had never picked up a weight before so I'm sure gains are way easier for newer people. Lastly I have no idea what being repped means, like I said I'm new to the site and message boards but I'm assuming it's a good thing! Thanks

Sorry, my apologies for getting off topic on the thread. But my question still remains any idea on my bf%

Your photo's "after" aren't very good.
Can't even see the front due to darkness.
I would say ~14% but it's hard due to chit quality.

And "repped" is the reputation system kind of like a reward for good postings, helping etc.
It's the green (good) & red (bad) squares near your name.

[munichveteran]

It's hard to judge from flexed.
Somewhere around 15% maybe.
Post relaxed front, back & legs.

Makes sense...how about now? I'm thinking ~17%.

I'm 5'8, and 140lbs. I know my LBM is low, but trying to cut to 12% then begin LONG slow bulk. For me, this is a marathon not a sprint.

[tara19]

Yeah around 16% would be my guess.

I would question how low you are prepared to drop.
Heading into fuking skinny mode.

[Tasthetic]

Hey fellow shredbrahs.

Estimate? 5'10 and 82.5kg/180lbs

Guise?

Yeah, I know...not much longer hopefully, but I've been fat for the last 20 years, so it's very difficult to think about hopping on the scale again and hoping the weight goes up! My goal was to get to 12% then slow bulk, but I don't know if it's feasible to get that low.

IMO you are already in 11-12%<

You have to bulk right now, there is no reason to wait.

[Corlath1]

Any guesses on body fat % for me?

Thanks.

Like everyone else I’m hoping for some bf% estimates.

Stats:
6’3.5”
183lb
30” waist

I’m guessing/hoping 11-12% but find it really hard to judge myself. What do you guys think?

I posted this on another page but I didn't get very much activity so I was wondering on an opinion. I am competing in my first NPC bikini competition in a little over 6 weeks. These photos were from last week at 7 weeks out. I would LOVE any feedback I can get on how my progress looks (on my profile I have the photos of what I looked like starting at 18 weeks out). I know I am progressing, but will I be ready? the side pictures show my major problem which is a huge saddlebag on my left side. It is definitely getting smaller but I don't think it will be gone come show day. My coach was Alex Azarian, an AMAZING man and coach who sadly passed away a few weeks ago and I have chosen to finish this prep on my own. I feel confident in the sense that what I am doing is working, and I am losing fat, but I'm just unsure if I will be ready in time. My body fat was 24% according to in body a month ago and was 19.8% yesterday. Does that seem accurate with the pictures? Thank you for any feedback!

I'm 5'5" 165.7 lbs, have a 32.25 inch waist and am 18. Here are 3 pics all relaxed:

All estimates are greatly appreciated. Please don't be swayed by the bf % I put in the picture that is simply my estimate.

BUMP. Can anyone give me an estimate?

what do you guys think?

[jaggedendz]

It is showing me around 14-15% body fat percentage. What do others say?

[jaggedendz]

what do you guys think?

My guess is 12-14% but I'm not good at guessing these types of things.

[Scotty.]

Self caliper measurement has me at 15% - sound about right?





I've done several successful cuts before, but always starting with next to no muscle mass and getting down to the 13-14% range and skinny. I'm starting another cut now with the above pics as my base. I'd like to get to single digit body fat for the first time in my life. Is there anything I'll have to keep in mind to do differently from my previous cuts? Or is it basically exactly the same process to get to 9-10%?

[Adrich86]
